as well.

This book provides a fast yet extensive guide on how to build powerful agents using just the raw programming language features that are already available to you. We look through the lens of a Python or bun.sh developer to cover the most popular types of languages currently.

This book is for anyone who wants to reach for openclaw or other large AI Agent SDK's and frameworks to accomplish their tasks. This book provides a better way, with more secure and testable code that can be fully understood by a single person.

I also provide real world examples that are already done in production, from a Slack Agent that handles custom requests where I work, to a voice agent that listens, classifies, and takes action as I speak, all running on a local laptop.

Check out Private By Default: The AI Smart Home which is also in progress

Consider purchasing this book if you want a way to use AI safely and securely, with auto approved agent actions or permission controls, all without any special frameworks or dependencies.
