Description
I’m a software designer from Lagos exploring conversational interfaces and frameworks for building agents. I made Captain to help with everyday travel planning. It can explore an itinerary, check live flight prices, or watch for the right time to book. Captain is a Telegram bot powered by a generalist model (anthropic/claude-sonnet-5), with specialist models handling workflows such as trip interpretation and voice transcription. It also includes a visual workspace where users can review the agent’s work and directly manipulate their travel information. I'm building the agent to explore how conversation, tools, durable workflows, and direct manipulation can come together in one coherent product.

Yes Captain was a Telegram bot travel assistant wrapping third-party flight APIs (Duffel) and an LLM to parse natural language constraints into search queries and alert users on fare changes.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
