Build a Mini ClawdBot from Scratch
Build a 24/7 Slack AI assistant from an empty file.
Assemble a production-grade Slack assistant by hand — the agent loop, tool schemas, RAG over your history, long-term memory, and your own MCP server. Along the way you learn to build the whole thing with Claude Code, then evaluate, deploy, and generalize the pattern to your own personal agents.

Rare mix of depth and readability. The worked examples are the clearest I have seen on this subject.

I read the free preview on a whim and ended up finishing the whole thing in two sittings. Superb pacing.

Dense but never confusing. Every chapter builds cleanly on the last — you can feel the care in the structure.

Practical and rigorous at the same time. I went straight from reading a capsule to shipping it at work.
