What I Actually Run

This isn't theoretical. Here's the infrastructure behind my personal AI team.

Agents

  • Gina — Claude Opus, WhatsApp + Telegram
  • Luna — Sonnet + Opus escalation, Telegram + Discord
  • 6 specialized operators for dev, ops, research, comms, calendar, and orchestration

Infrastructure

  • OpenClaw on WSL2 (primary workstation)
  • DigitalOcean VPS for remote services
  • WireGuard VPN for secure access
  • Docker containers — Qdrant (vector DB), Firecrawl (web scraping)

Security

  • Daily automated security audits at 9:30 AM
  • Docker sandboxing for sub-agents
  • Allowlisted messaging — no open DMs
  • Credential isolation — secrets in .env only

Integrations

  • Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Drive)
  • Asana, GitHub, GitLab, Cloudflare
  • ElevenLabs (TTS), Canva (design)
  • Custom CLI tools for places, weather, PDF editing

Cost

  • ~$15/day API costs
  • $6/mo VPS (DigitalOcean)
  • Model routing: Haiku (volume), Sonnet (skilled work), Opus (strategy)
  • Total: under $500/mo for a full AI team
