Bring Your Own Bot
What building the bot in Klau taught me, why the Basecamp approach is obvious in hindsight, and how Klau and Strata will work with the AI agent each user already has.
I'm Jed Dawson. I started in this industry driving trucks at my family's company. I've spent the years since building software for the waste management industry: first eMobile, then a half-decade at Routeware. Now I'm building Klau, a teammate for roll-off haulers, and Strata, an operations platform already running a hauler with a landfill, three transfer stations, and about 100 trucks.

I plan and curate the work during working hours. A fleet of AI coding agents does most of the coding, around the clock. My job is to confirm, send back, and refine until the result matches the spec.
A different kind of weekly post. My son turned 13, and I wrote about the entrepreneurs I grew up around and the principles I hope he picks up.
The week went into a project built on Klau that is already running part of a real hauling operation. I am keeping it quiet for now, and looking for haulers who want to adopt a system as it is built.
