# Cam Smith

> Cam Smith is cofounder and COO of Humaie. He writes about and builds agentic AI systems — what holds up in production versus what only looks good in a demo — and ships experiments, tools, and small games along the way. Based in Australia.

## Writing

- [Why I keep rebuilding my own tools](https://assembll.xyz/writing/why-i-rebuild-my-own-tools) — 2026-08-06. Notes on building Crossthreads and Headless_CRM, and what shipping your own tooling teaches you that reading about it doesn't.
- [More Agents, More Problems? Cost, Reliability, and Complexity in Enterprise AI Operations](https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6850459) — 2026-06-16 · hosted on SSRN. A cost-aware empirical study across 3,751 recorded-cost result rows and 2,183 reliable operations. Small constrained swarms can improve quality; larger swarms and heavier harnesses do not reliably pay for themselves once cost, reliability, and failure surface are counted.
- [Designing the Intelligent Enterprise](https://research.humaie.com/intelligent-enterprise.html) — 2026-04-01 · hosted on Humaie Research. From hierarchy to capability — how agentic AI is obsoleting the org chart, what the new paradigm of human–agent collaboration looks like, and where it leads.

## Projects

- [Crossthreads](https://github.com/Cam-Smith-One) — Rust. Search, recall, and resume every AI coding conversation — across all your tools, in one place. Local-first, no telemetry, agent-ready (MCP).
- [Headless_CRM](https://github.com/Cam-Smith-One) — TypeScript. The open-source CRM built for AI agents. MCP-native, API-first, self-hostable. AGPL-3.0.
- [Mini Game Rover](https://rover.assembll.xyz) — Three.js. An offroad forest adventure experiment. Drive a rover through procedural terrain and trees, built as a playground for real-time 3D in the browser.
