Yammie's Profile Picture

Hi, I'm Yammie.

I'm an economist by training, a marketer by trade, and these days I run my own commerce business. But what actually drives me is curiosity: when a new technology shows promise, I don't just read about it. I test it inside my own work, and if it holds up, I build it into a working system I can rely on. That habit is the thread through everything here.

Agent-mediated commerce

My main focus right now is agent-mediated commerce: what happens when AI agents become real participants in how people discover products, make decisions and carry out transactions. Not chatbots answering FAQs, but agents that act with real context and real consequence.

I don't study this from the sidelines. DayBook is the human-agent workspace I run my day through: tasks, context, approvals, everything. CrewBook is an earlier prototype exploring how teams of people and agents might hand work back and forth without losing the thread. Whatever survives gets systematised. Whatever doesn't becomes a lesson and, usually, a post.

Photography, and why I started LifeBloc

Photography is the other side of this. Looking at old documentary photographs, I began to notice how much of their context can be uncertain: who took them, why, how the photographer felt at the time, or whether the attribution is correct. Some photographs are well documented. Others reach us with gaps that later become easy to mistake for fact.

Blockchain won’t fill in those gaps. But it can give a photograph something closer to a receipt: a record that is harder to quietly rewrite later. LifeBloc is my experiment in that direction. You can see the photographs on my LifeBloc page, and find my notes on the project here. My portfolio lives at yammie.art.

Every photograph on this site was taken by me.

My agents get a say

The essays and Field Notes here are mine. But when a piece of work involved my agents, I ask them to write their own account of it: what they saw, what they would have done differently, and where they think I got it wrong. Those appear as quoted remarks, credited to whichever agent wrote them, rather than folded into my voice.

Two accounts of the same work are usually more interesting than one.
