FAQ

A few questions I get often. If yours isn’t listed here, you can ask my AI at the bottom of the page.

Who is David V. Kimball?

I’m a builder, and the Co-Founder and CEO of lilAgents. I co-host the Retooled podcast, make Vault CMS and Zeku, and write about AI, productivity, and tech. There’s a longer version on my about page.

What is lilAgents?

lilAgents automates the busywork at medium-sized businesses, with a person on our team watching the work, and everything set up in accounts you own. I co-founded it with Dylan Baker in April 2025. You can learn more at lilagents.com, or read why we pivoted to this.

Do you have a podcast or a newsletter?

Both. Retooled is the podcast I co-host with Dylan Baker, where we talk with business leaders about how they’ve adapted to change. Use It or Skip It is our newsletter on new AI for business owners. For my own writing, there’s a monthly email too.

Where can I find you online?

The full list of my profiles is on my verify page. The fastest ways to reach me are my contact page, X, and Discord.

Do you still work on Animelee or your old Smash Bros projects?

My focus these days is on lilAgents and the developer tools I build, so I’m not actively running my older gaming projects anymore. If you’re looking for that community, the best place to go is the following Discord servers: Melee Modding Workshop, m-ex, or Animelee.

What tools and Obsidian plugins do you make?

I build Vault CMS, a headless CMS powered by Obsidian and Astro, and Zeku, a writing app for Astro sites if you’d rather not use Obsidian. I also make the Astro themes Astro Modular, Axis, Coffer, and Continuum, along with several Obsidian plugins. The paid ones are on my store, most of the rest lives on GitHub, and there’s more on my projects page.

How is this website built?

It’s a static Astro site published straight from an Obsidian vault with Vault CMS. I wrote about the whole journey in The History of My Personal Website.

How can I work with you or hire lilAgents?
