Every team at our company was building agents from scratch. Duplicated prompts. Duplicated tool configs. No shared memory. I watched five teams present their setups at a meetup in Ghent. Same patterns, reinvented five times.

So I built Paul, an AI chief of staff with 13 specialist agents: analyst, writer, broadcaster, operator, architect, reviewer, and more. Each agent has a defined job family, a cultural perspective, and a skill library. One orchestrator delegates. A reviewer gates quality. The whole system runs on open source tooling with MCP servers for memory, calendar, email, GitLab, and smart home.

The sharing layer is a platform AI catalog. Agent definitions, flows, and MCP server configs become organizational assets. A team publishes an agent. Another team reuses it. Skills are composable. Memory is scoped: user, project, or org.

This talk covers the architecture, the real failures, and the pattern for moving from a personal experiment to an organizational capability. You leave with concrete agent definitions, delegation patterns, and a mental model for building a catalog your whole organization can use.
