# I don’t just advise on AI. I build it. And I don’t do it alone. Five agents I built work with me every day. They have names and jobs of their own. ## The crew Every agent has its job and a schedule. All of them run on agent-core, Claude Code, MCP, and Coolify. - **Prsíček** (for me): My second brain. It processes my meetings and messages and remembers what I discussed with whom. - **Lumír Sokol** (DX Heroes): Marketing and content for DX Heroes. It writes and learns from the numbers what worked. - **Franta** (DX Heroes): Engineer and product manager at DX Heroes. It takes tasks from GitHub and turns them into pull requests. - **Tom Gilský** (Plantory): Go-to-market for Plantory. It finds gardeners and reaches out to them. - **Jáchym Tolar** (its own business): It tests whether an AI agent can build a profitable software business of its own. It finds a problem, validates it with people and builds the software. ## What I build My own products are where I find out what AI can do in software development. What works, I bring into companies. ### Products - **MCP Gateway** (A DX Heroes product): Management and audit of MCP servers for company AI clients, running on your own infrastructure.
