How to Build Your Own AI Chief of Staff with Claude Code
About this episode
Caleb Sima discusses his custom-built AI Chief of Staff, Pepper, and the implications of automating work with AI agents.
What if you could automate your entire work life with a personal AI Chief of Staff? In this episode, Caleb Sima reveals "Pepper," his custom-built AI agent to Ashish that manages emails, schedules meetings, and even hires other AI experts to solve problems for him . Using Claude Code and a "vibe coding" approach, Caleb built a multi-agent system over a single holiday weekend, without writing a single line of Rust code himself . We discuss how he used this same method to build a black-box testing agent that auto-files bugs on GitHub and even designed the branding for his venture fund, White Rabbit .
