# 270 AI Agents, One Obsidian Vault, Zero API Costs

I just built a complete AI agency infrastructure using only open-source tools, with zero monthly costs.

## What I Built

270 AI agent profiles across 17 divisions — engineering (58), specialized (57), marketing (36), game development (21), GIS (13), security (12), design (10), sales (9), testing (9), paid media (7), project management (7), academic (6), spatial computing (6), support (6), finance (5), product (5), healthcare (3).

Each agent has full personality, workflows, deliverables, and success metrics. All interconnected through an Obsidian second brain — 317 notes with 500+ wikilinks.
