Free advanced companion to Getting Started with AI. Built for people who can't afford to let an AI agent see their real Documents folder, saved credentials, or production secrets. Covers the security ladder (normal app, deployer profile, dedicated machine, remote server), threat-model framing in plain English, building a clean deployer account on Mac/Windows/Linux, dedicated Mac mini setups, VPS basics, SSH essentials, secrets handling with spending caps, local-AI preprocessing for anonymization, cloud-private model options (Bedrock + enterprise), backups and rollback before agents touch production, team access rules, and a recommended secure-install playbook.
13+ years building. Shipped marketplaces, CRMs, lead engines, and content pipelines for clients from solo founders to 8-figure companies. Built a production experiences marketplace from scratch — scraped 13,706 leads with AI, wired a seat-race booking system, and automated cold email at scale. Now teaching the methodology.
Plug Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, or Antigravity into the SetupBots brain — the methodology your agent reads on every build. Free with your account, like every course here.
