&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;First, thanks for all of the positive feedback on the new cohort course launch, I can’t wait to work with all of you! It’s exciting to see more than 50 people sign up already, and more on the way. Remember &lt;a href="https://click.convertkit-mail2.com/zlu5lqnvkkunhkwozx8fphwogmg00a6hkknn5/6qhehoulnem2drfo/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYWloZXJvLmRldi9jb2hvcnRzL2J1aWxkLXlvdXItb3duLWFpLXBlcnNvbmFsLWFzc2lzdGFudC1pbi10eXBlc2NyaXB0" target="_blank" class="ck-link" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color:#0875c1" url-id="1805127687"&gt;the 40% off discount&lt;/a&gt; is good until Monday Nov 17!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;One of the reasons I’m so excited to teach this material is because I’ve been obsessing over workflow optimization for years. As a dev, of course. But also as a course creator, as an OSS maintainer on the side.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;So when LLMs arrived, I got extremely excited. How could I plug them into my existing workflows? Could these tools help me improve my work in ways that traditional automation fell short?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;It took some work, trial and error, and a lot of elbow grease, but the answer is &lt;strong&gt;Yes&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;Using LLMs &lt;em&gt;the right way&lt;/em&gt; has absolutely accelerated my output by taking grunt work off my hands and saving my brain for the creative stuff.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;And I want to teach you how they work, how to use one and, when you enroll in my course, &lt;em&gt;how to build your own&lt;/em&gt;, tailored precisely to you and your work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here’s what I’ve learned:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;Integrating with AI is a skill.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;You need to constantly think about scoping the work to the right level, and providing the right context.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;The generic “everything apps” and off the shelf tools felt like I was working against them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;To get the real juice out of my LLM assisted workflows, I needed a custom system sitting between me and the model.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;&lt;em&gt;And maybe most importantly, I needed to set your expectations carefully.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;One rule I set for myself, and I recommend for everyone, is that &lt;strong&gt;you cannot delegate your thinking to LLMs&lt;/strong&gt;. That’s true in coding, and it’s true in any kind of workflow. Once you’ve made that mistake, you’re toast!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;So in all of my LLM-assisted workflows, the &lt;em&gt;creative&lt;/em&gt; parts of my job are still mine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;My creative work is based on my instincts. My experience. My internal weights from a decade of teaching.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;That’s the creative activity where the human touch is indispensable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;And then there’s the grunt work that’s &lt;em&gt;derived&lt;/em&gt; from the creative activity. Organizational stuff. Pattern-based stuff. Admin-type stuff.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;Stuff I &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; do… &lt;em&gt;but should I?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;So how could I customize my AI assistant to best help my creative work…without undermining my creativity?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class="" style="font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-size:1em;margin:0;font-size:1.17em;margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#000000;line-height:1.5"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First Win: Summarizing &amp; rewriting complex ideas into simpler ones&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;When I’m building a new course, I always start by breaking down the design and production tasks into many small steps. LLMs &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; do this (sometimes) but I prefer to do this myself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;One of the most gnarly steps has always been defining the specific &lt;em&gt;learning goals&lt;/em&gt; for each lesson. A couple of sentences to summarize the purpose of the lesson.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;Understanding how each lesson fits into the whole picture is &lt;em&gt;hard&lt;/em&gt; to keep in your head all at once, especially when each course is 100+ videos! So these one liner summaries are super valuable to &lt;em&gt;me&lt;/em&gt; even if they never get seen by anybody else.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;This bit of LLM support helped me make my own decisions about the order and priority of lessons, what to cut and what to expand. That &lt;em&gt;decision&lt;/em&gt; isn’t something an LLM can do, but it helped me see the path much more clearly so I could make an informed decision more easily.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;This kind of LLM summarizing could also be applied to converting a transcript of a video to an SEO summary, or other very specific use cases where the output is going to be read by machines instead of humans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;It’s still important to build in systems to verify quality and accuracy, but when you learn how to give an LLM the right background data about you, your work, and your preferences, at the right time, the quality of these kinds of summaries can be extraordinary!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class="" style="font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-size:1em;margin:0;font-size:1.17em;margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#000000;line-height:1.5"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Second Win: Context Engineering (for me, AND the LLM)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;I knew I needed to design my system to give the model the exact right context for the tasks at hand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;And as I worked on teaching my custom assistant my workflows, I realized… I need that, too!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;Courses have a lot of moving parts. The more steps and tasks, the easier it is for something to get missed — either the doing, &lt;em&gt;or&lt;/em&gt; the tracking. It gets hard to keep everything in my head. On the other hand, documenting every little thing is a pain, and slows me down. Lose-lose.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is where my custom LLM workflows really shine.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;Now I can:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol class="unordered_list" style="margin:1em 0;margin-left:1em;padding:0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;list-style-position:outside !important"&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;tell my assistant what I’m working on, then&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;ask it to help me see where I am, and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;have it suggest what might come next&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;This is a huge win for my cognitive load, letting me focus on the parts only I can do!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;And it’s only possible because I provided my assistant with examples of my process, AND I’ve given it the data it needs about what I’m doing, in a format it can use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;For example, when I use my assistant during course creation:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul class="unordered_list" style="margin:1em 0;margin-left:1em;padding:0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;list-style-position:outside !important"&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I define the scope of the course, the sections, the lessons, and I dictate notes for myself, and to feed into my assistant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;I tell the AI assistant to turn my notes into streamlined bullet points (with no duplication!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;And it quickly turns my messy, dictated notes into a master markdown outline&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Best of all, that outline is useful for both me, and my AI assistant, to keep track of our progress!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;Now I can document my own work more explicitly &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; give my assistant the context for the entire workshop, in a super-compact asset.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;Plus, I can pass this compact, permanent asset into every future LLM call to keep it on task. When I’m working on an individual lesson, the AI knows &lt;strong&gt;which lesson&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;what’s in it&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;My assistant turns a lose-lose proposition into a win-win!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;All made possible by engineering context, using retrieval, memory, and all the other patterns we’ve talked about (and you’ll learn about in my newest course).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The key is that my AI assistant doesn’t do my work for me.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;It makes &lt;strong&gt;the work I do&lt;/strong&gt; faster, and better. So I can produce more and better courses for you!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;And I can focus on the things I do best. Less fatigue, less busywork… more creativity, more fun. Isn’t that what every dev wants, after all?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;It also works better than other planning tools because it’s *my *process, not some generic box or workflow that I have to contort to. It’s a workflow just for me, in my own custom system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;*See what I mean about the future of LLMs being custom, bespoke tools? *&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;So…what could &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; do with your own assistant? What workflows could you augment? What could you do faster, or better?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="" style="margin:1em 0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5"&gt;The possibilities really do seem endless once you master retrieval, memory, human-in-the-loop, and all the stuff I can show you in &lt;strong&gt;Build Your Own AI Personal Assistant in TypeScript.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul class="unordered_list" style="margin:1em 0;margin-left:1em;padding:0;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;color:#2d2d2f;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;list-style-position:outside !important"&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;5 days of guided learning, community discussion, and office hours between December 8th through 14th. 100% online so you can participate from anywhere in the world!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;1-2 hours per day of hands-on building, plus bonus exercises to extend your assistant if you finish early. Of course, you’ll be building in Typescript, and using the amazing AI SDK. (Note: if you bought my AI SDK Crash Course back in October, you can automatically get the full value of the course applied as a discount to this course)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Attend live office hours (or review the recordings if you can’t make them live), and ask questions in the exclusive Discord channel just for people enrolled in this course.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Complete the week with a working and extendable foundation of your own working AI assistant that you can plug into any LLM model you like and continue tailoring to your personal data and workflows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="list_item" style="padding:0 0 0 1em;margin:0;margin-left:1em"&gt;&lt;span&gt;And, of course, &lt;strong&gt;you’ll get to keep the lessons forever&lt;/strong&gt;, to review and reuse any time you like.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
