Who this is for

People who'd rather build a lobster farm than buy fish from a counter. If you want to understand how AI agents work by actually running one — not watching a YouTube tutorial about one — this is your book.

No computer science degree. No Python experience. Just a machine, some free software, and the willingness to try things.

Build your own AI agent stack.
