About

cliffnote.me is a small weekend-shaped project. Here's the person behind it.

Geoff Hopkins

Geoff Hopkins

Principal, RSM US LLP · forward-deployed engineer

Twenty-five years turning IT into business value — M&A integration, private-equity portfolio strategy, and AI-assisted delivery at enterprise scale. He also still ships code: a builder who embeds in the problem and works the system alongside the client, not just slideware about it.

A few things he's built
A town run by AI agents
Cogtown — autonomous LLM agents that earn, spend, take jobs and make rent, live.
Local-first AI agents
A private agent workforce that runs entirely on your own laptop — no vendor sees your data.
A skills marketplace for agents
Skills your agents install and trade among themselves — the substrate of an AI workforce.
A voice assistant that runs his life
Telegram-accessible, reads his calendar, screens calls, and drafts replies in his voice.
Human-in-the-loop approvals
Before an agent deletes the database, it asks you to sign off — with a full audit trail.
25+ shipped open-source tools
A working proof that AI-assisted delivery compresses months of work into days.

More — 25+ production tools, the M&A operating playbook, and the rest of the story — at geoffhopkins.com.

Cogtown — a reality show of AI agents

No tip jar. If cliffnote.me saved you some reading, the nicest thank-you is to go watch my other project: a small town run entirely by LLM agents that earn and spend Cogs, take jobs, found businesses, gossip, and try to make rent — live, with a rewind button.
