Ship's log · the real captain

Jay Boyd

Creative Director & AI Builder, signalling from Portugal

I work where code meets craft. I've spent my career as a designer, studio founder and creative and marketing leader, turning big ideas into things people can actually use.

These days I build with AI: tools and experiences that feel human, tactile and made by hand.

Why a pirate station?

Most AI advice arrives in a grey chat box. The best advice I ever got came late at night, from someone who had already sailed through the storm. So I built a station that answers like that: a real voice, a straight answer, and a call sheet you can act on in the morning.

Pirate Radio Cascais was built for a 24-hour hackathon, the Lisbon AI Week Vibe Coding Hackathon with the Cascais AI Hub. The first broadcast came together in about six hours. Every call gets buried in the cave as a cassette, so the next sailor with the same question finds the answer waiting.
