Getting Started
Free, plain-language guides to get your AI agent running and make it your own. No jargon, one thing at a time. Start with the installation guide, then add whatever you need.
Start here: installation guide
The full path from an empty laptop to your own running agent. Seven short steps, one per page, in order.
Installation guide
Choose your harness, get set up, install the pack, and meet your agent. Start to finish, in seven steps.
Meet your agent
Reopen your agent, reach it from your phone, and understand the files that make it yours.
Talk to your agent
How to start a session, pick the right folder, and say the first thing when you come back.
Choose your approval level
How much your agent can do on its own before it asks. What each mode means in Codex and Claude Code, so you pick by comfort.
Agent files overview
A plain-language map of the files your agent reads, writes, and uses to remember.
Reach your agent from your phone
Codex Mobile or Claude Code Remote Control, with the trade-offs spelled out.
Meet your workspace
Edit your workspace in a comfortable app, open your dashboards, and keep everything in sync across devices.
Edit your workspace in Obsidian
Comfortable editing, saved vault workspaces, and extensions like Dataview.
Meet your dashboards
Open the Daily Planner and Habit Tracker, and the quick way to reopen them. Set up Obsidian first.
Sync your workspace across devices
Use Obsidian Sync to keep your notes available on your phone and other computers.
Put your agent to work
Once your agent's running, add what you need. They're roughly in order — some build on earlier ones — but skip anything that doesn't apply to you.
Connect hundreds of integrations
Calendar, email, and hundreds more apps, through plugins or One. Start small, verify safely.
Connect to the Apple ecosystem
Mac only. Let your agent triage Mail, manage Calendar and Reminders, look up Contacts, and text people — all local, with permissions explained plainly.
Give your agent searchable memory
Install QMD, index the agent workspace, keep embeddings fresh, and connect Claude Code or Codex.
Give your agent email
SoonAdd an email inbox with AgentMail. Low-friction, API-key based.
Install more skills
SoonDrop new skills into your workspace and wire them up for both harnesses.
Put your agent on a schedule
Tell your agent in plain language what to do and when, and it sets up a recurring task. A morning brief, an overnight tidy-up, a weekly review — it runs while your machine is awake.
Set up a daily brief
A scheduled morning brief that pulls from your email and calendar, walked through start to finish, with a video demo. Connect integrations first.
Nightly maintenance pass
A scheduled overnight pass that tidies your notes, files loose thoughts, and updates your agent's memory from the past day.
Review your agent's work
Your agent edits real files. These guides help you see what changed, undo mistakes, and keep a safe backup — no coding required.
See changes with Git
Read what your agent changed, right in the harness or in a friendly desktop app. Roll back when something goes wrong.
Back up and share with GitHub
Put your workspace in a private repo for off-machine backup, version history, and cloud agent sessions.
Get access to updates
Your purchase includes every future version. When new skills ship and existing ones improve, pull the latest pack and let your agent upgrade itself.
Stuck at any point? Send a message. Happy to help you over the line.
Stuck or need help?
Send a message and it comes straight to me. Tell me where you got stuck and I'll write back.
Rather have it done for you?
If following the steps yourself isn't how your brain works today, that's fine. On a Zoom call you share your screen and hand me control, and I set it up for you, right there on your own computer. You watch it come together and end the call with a working setup, nothing left on your plate.
Pick a time below. No pitch, no pressure, no homework beforehand.
