I am Henk Mulder. I design and build the Phoph amplifiers. This blog is my account of this.
I don’t work alone. Eight bots hold the parts of the work I would otherwise be doing myself. They track everything, do research, make suggestions, do audits. They produce the documentation, the designs. They analyse and fault-find. It’s all me in reality but with AI turbo acceleration.
I give them names and a personality, it makes it easier to distinguish their roles. It makes it feel like team work. It’s a way of keeping progress across all the design elements.
