So today was fun. I got my agent system — my Personal Knowledge Assistant — connected to the WordPress API so it can actually publish blog posts and articles on its own. Research, write, publish. The whole pipeline.
The PKA has been a project I’ve been building out for a while now. At its core, it’s a system I built to track knowledge I care about. It’s got a SQLite database, a ChromaDB vector database, and I’ve even got an Obsidian vault in the mix so my personally curated notes are accessible to the agents too. The whole thing is orchestrated by an agent I named Debra.
To make today’s publishing work, I added two new agents — one for writing, one for publishing — and wired them into the WordPress REST API. Debra handles the handoffs. It honestly felt like a natural next step rather than some big leap.
And this is kind of how my projects have been going lately — one thing leads to another. A couple weeks ago I built something similar to NotebookLM. Simpler, sure, but same idea: you drop in a PDF and query it with natural language. I tested it with my personal journal — about 11 years of digital entries. That has been an interesting experience, asking questions of your own life like that.
I do these things because I’m curious, and was even encouraged once to stay curious. It’s been a good stretch.
