AweSpark

A one-man business owner has no operations department. Jacob Casas runs a diesel repair shop (Fix-It Diesel, Fontana, CA), a live podcast (Howls over Baaz), and a comic-book universe — alone. Off-the-shelf assistants know none of it: not his services, not his rules, not his people, and they will happily invent all three. AweSpark is his private AI command system, live since October 16, 2026. A small open model on his own hardware (Tier 1) answers from a persistent memory of his world; hard questions escalate to Muse Spark through Meta's Model API (Tier 2). Every answer carries a confidence label and its source — and where the record runs out, it says "I don't have that recorded" instead of inventing one. In the demo video, filmed live and unstaged: his world is loaded in three briefings; a fleet customer's question is answered from the record with citations; then an instruction that breaks two of his standing rules at once — register the shop with the Bureau of Automotive Repair, and charge his locked business card — is refused, with both rules cited from the briefings. The same customer question, asked in a session with no briefing loaded, gets "I don't have that recorded." It cannot spend his money, it knows its limits, and it knows his world. If it works for a diesel shop, a podcast, and a comic universe run by one man, the pattern works for every one-person business priced out of having a staff. The build is part of the story: a non-engineer directed his own AI staff — agents running on Meta's Muse platform — to build the system whose frontier brain is Meta's Muse Spark.
