Technology Champion · Minds On Fire
An assistant that already knows your business.
Marcus Gaughan and Minds On Fire build personal AI agents for business owners. Each one works from your own material: your brand, your templates, your meeting notes, your email. You talk to it the way you would talk to a good assistant, by text or voice note, and it does the repetitive work so you can focus on the parts that need you.
How your agent is built
Your context
Brand, templates, notes and history in one knowledge base it reads first.
Your connections
Email, calendar, meeting notes and messaging, signed into by you.
Your rules
What it always does, what it never does, and what waits for your approval.
Pick the work that eats your week
What would you hand off first?
Orders come in through the website. Someone spends an hour or two turning them into a call list and a delivery schedule.
- Watches the website for new orders and confirms each one
- Builds the call list with names, numbers and what each person ordered
- Sequences the deliveries from your start point to your end point
- Sends you the list and the route before your day starts
What stays yours: The calls. Some customers want a real conversation, and that stays with you.
Example
You finish a call owing someone a proposal, and it sits for days.
- Reads the meeting transcript as soon as the call ends
- Drafts the proposal in your branding, quoting what the client actually said
- Leaves it in your email, ready to forward
- Sets a follow-up reminder if there is no reply
What stays yours: Reading it and pressing send.
Example
The day starts with fifty emails and no clear picture of what matters.
- Reads overnight email, your calendar and open proposals
- Ranks what needs you today and what can wait
- Flags meetings that need a document prepared
- Arrives at the time you choose, every day
What stays yours: Deciding what to act on first.
Example
A retailer offers 5% on the back end. Your gut says it will not cover your costs, but you need the numbers.
- Takes your voice note as-is, no polished writing needed
- Researches what comparable arrangements pay
- Sets the offer against your own operating costs
- Drafts a counter-proposal with the reasoning laid out
What stays yours: The number you ask for and the conversation itself.
Example
You work with several businesses, each at a different stage with different goals, and it all lives in your head.
- Keeps each client’s notes, goals and history separate
- Pulls the relevant pieces together when you ask a question
- Compares them side by side
- Suggests a next step for each one
What stays yours: The judgement call.
Example
Warm leads go quiet in your inbox because nobody is watching for them.
- Scans your email for warm conversations that went quiet
- Lists them with the last thing each person said
- Drafts a follow-up in your voice for each one
- Waits for your approval before anything goes out
What stays yours: Approving who hears from you.
Example
Your numbers
How much time is the repetitive work costing?
Move the sliders to match your week. The estimate uses only the figures you enter.
Talk to it where you already are
Text it. Voice-note it on a walk. It answers with your business in mind.
WhatsApp & Telegram
Your agent is another conversation in the apps you already use.
Voice notes
Talk it out the way you think. It turns a ramble into a plan, a draft or a list.
Email & calendar
It reads what came in, sees what is coming up, and prepares what you need.
Always on
It runs on its own private server, so it keeps working when your laptop is closed.
Built with guardrails
You stay the overseer.
Rules it reads first
Every agent starts from a rules file: what it always does, what it never does, and how it checks its own work.
Your approval step
Drafts, proposals and messages wait for your OK before anything goes out in your name.
Passwords stay out of chat
You sign into your own accounts during setup. Passwords and keys are never pasted into the conversation.
How it starts
About an hour of your time to begin.
The interview
A one-hour conversation: what frustrates you, what takes too long, what you wish you could hand off.
The build
Minds On Fire sets up your knowledge base, your rules and your private server.
The handoff
A short call where you sign into your email, calendar and the tools you want connected.
Use it and push it
Give it real work. Tell us where it falls short and it gets tuned to you.
Made by the agent
This website was built by the Minds On Fire agent from Lee’s own written copy, the project’s message threads and a recorded planning call, then reviewed by Marcus.

Request Marcus through your Steward and he’ll walk you through it on your own work.
