An AI team that sorts my email, tracks my graduate job search, and checks its own code

I’m a History graduate who works in an outdoor shop in London, and I run my work through Vulcan, a system of custom AI agents. Each one is Claude, the AI made by Anthropic, given one job and a name. With Vulcan, I’ve retaken control of my email and kept every graduate application on track.

Every chat with an AI starts with no memory of the last one, so everything that matters goes into plain notes that the main agents read first and update last. I’m not a developer (yet). I set the rules; the agents write and test the code.

What each agent does

Open a line for an example, how it fits with the others, and the story of its name.

    The rules I set
