04Questions

Things you might be wondering

01What is this site?

A working record of one independent builder: five tools in daily use for global markets, an AI agent course open to read, and the open-source projects behind them.

02Can I sign up for the products?

Not yet. The five tools are private and built for personal use, so sign-ups are closed. A walkthrough is available on request.

03Does the agent course cost anything?

No. All 21 modules are open to read and each lesson has a slide deck. It takes you from first principles to shipping an agent.

04How do you decide what to build?

An idea becomes a working prototype, then goes into daily use. Whatever survives a month of real use gets documented and kept; the rest is dropped.
