Is it too late to build your robot? No.

THE ROBOT ASSISTANT FIELD GUIDE

Get 10% Off with Code: STILL-TIME-ROBOT

Hi Friend,

Over the past few weeks I've been getting the same question from a lot of people: "Is it too late to get the Robot Assistant Field Guide?"

No. Not even close.

And actually, the timing is interesting. Apple's new Siri AI features are impressive. I've been using them, and I genuinely mean that. But they don't come close to what you can build with this system. Siri doesn't know your projects, your workflows, your people. Your robot assistant does. That's not a knock on Apple. It's just a different thing entirely.

Here's what's waiting for you when you join today.

All 10 foundation videos, which take you from zero to a working robot assistant in about 3.5 hours. All 10 workshops, recorded from the live sessions, ready to work through at your own pace. The Starter Kit with the vault template and starter skills, so you're not staring at a blank page. And the Robot Builders Club, which still meets live every week through the end of August. That's a lot of robot training. Plenty of time to build something real and get unstuck alongside other people doing the same work.

The recordings are actually better in one way: you can pause, rewind, and build at your own speed. I've seen people who joined late work through the full workshop run and have their first morning briefing running before the next Builder's Club session.

I also built a brand new Circle community for this course. This course needed that. What people are building and sharing has been genuinely great. Setups, skills, workflows, breakthroughs. It turns out building a robot is a lot more fun when you've got a room full of people doing the same work. When you join, that community is yours too.

When the Builder's Club ends, the live sessions are done. If you've been on the fence, this is a good time to get off it.

I've also put together a 10% discount. Use code STILL-TIME-ROBOT at checkout.

Where Apple Technology and Productivity Combine

In a world where technology is increasingly conspiring to steal our focus and attention, my goal is to teach you how to be more productive with Apple technology. I want to help you achieve what is most important to you and enjoy your life at the same time using technology instead of becoming another one of its victims. Pretty much everything I make points at that North Star. I believe in this message so much that I’ve staked my livelihood on it.

THE MACSPARKY DISPATCH Hi Friend, I’ve mentioned a few times in the MacSparky Labs that I pay for web search. That always raises eyebrows. So I thought I’d explain. Even Google now injects AI slop before giving you search results, and there’s a good argument that search is going the way of the dodo. I use AI often, and yet I still find use for search. When researching, I often don’t want an AI synthesis (or I just don’t want to burn unnecessary and expensive tokens). Search is very much a...

THE MACSPARKY DISPATCH Hi Friend, As we all experiment with AI and how it can help, I went down a rabbit hole over the last month that I wanted to share. I called it “The Daybook”. It was an automated daily note. It ran every night, pulling in my calendar, my open tasks, my repeating chores, and anything else I might need before the day started. It was pretty advanced and I enjoyed building it. But I found myself not looking at it. So I tinkered with it. And I still didn’t read it. The...

THE MACSPARKY DISPATCH Hi Friend, Back when I was practicing law, I created an automation that used the terminal, AppleScript, and chewing gum to make a weekly status report for the staff. It was formatted beautifully. It went out like clockwork, and I spent too much time building it. Then one day in a meeting I asked about something from that week’s report. Nobody had read it. Not once, not ever. I want to tell you the lesson there was about automation. It wasn’t. The report ran perfectly....
