2Why I built it

This started as a personal project to put the things I care about in one place: markets, sports and music. I work in investor relations, so I read ownership data, earnings and market moves all day, and I follow sports closely outside of work.

It was also a test. I wanted to see how far AI could go when I handed it a real build instead of a demo: a working site with live data, automatic checks and a track record I can’t quietly rewrite. My job was deciding what to build, setting the rules, and cutting what didn’t hold up.

The bigger question for me is how AI changes the way I work, live and play. So far: it’s faster than I expected, it makes confident mistakes, and the value is in knowing what to ask and how to check the answer. This site is where I’m working that out in public.

4How far to trust it

5How it came together

  1. Oct 13

    Markets goes live

    Seven finance pages: dashboard, headlines, quotes, ownership, earnings, macro and IPOs.

  2. Oct 14

    Sports, Music and the data pipeline

    Scores, team pages and a first house model; two music guessing games; hourly data jobs that run on their own.

    The terminal

    Each section gets its own color. Sports follows whichever teams you pick, and Markets takes a watchlist. A live Right Now panel and a command line that looks anything up.

    Checks, and a closer look at the data

    A stock screener over SEC filings, a gate that holds back bad data, and the Under the Hood page.

  5. Oct 21

    Data you can check

    An ownership view for any stock, an index event calendar, monthly notes written from the site’s own data, and a history of how the sports model improved.
