I stopped deciding what to work on and built a system that ranks my entire life by expected return per hour. A cool byproduct of having a brain with full context across my work life: it can intelligently prioritize for me. All I do is throw any and every task in, and the output is a trusted ranking of priorities based off of value per hour. Every task gets enriched first. An agent creates a one-pager briefing pulling from the 3000 entity notes (goals, deals, calendar, people, past decisions) and the web. Then the tournament runs: Swiss rounds, pairwise matchups. The tournament prompt: "Which task produces higher expected return per hour of execution time? Maximize total value over time. Value compounds: a system that saves 10 hours every week is worth more than a one-time task of equal difficulty. Work and personal tasks compete on the same axis." Over time each task gets its own ELO. If context changes, then ratings shift. A board meeting at eight weeks out loses more matchups than at two weeks out. Runs 3x/day. Been running the same tournament on my to-read list too. Same brain context, different axis to maximize value per period.

I'm a chronic tinkerer of my own schedule and process. Recently it compounded into Nerve, the multiagent OS that runs my life AND Finch (Series B, 100 employees). 3,000 brain notes, 145 background jobs, agents running on Ralph loops.🧵

Still figuring out: full auto-cycle from novel idea to shipped output. The middle requires human unblocking. Some days it feels like agent farming, StarCraft micro on multiple loops at once. If you've cracked this I would love to trade notes.

Built Nerve custom for my own workflow. Possibly bringing it into Finch as we ship more AI tooling internally. DMs open if you have any ideas!

Nikesh Arora makes $288M/year in salary. More than Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella. He turned Palo Alto Networks from $19B to $120B in 5 years. Previously built Google’s Europe Business ($8B) and Softbank. The highest paid CEO you’ve never heard of: 🧵

A big thank you to @bashogry for joining Finch all hands today! It was amazing to hear your experiences growing Plaid from a dozen employees to a $13B valuation. We think there are a lot of parallels between how Plaid disrupted the digital finance space and what Finch is building in the employment space.
