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, Back in 2017, the night before the WWDC keynote, I wrote a short post about table stakes. I’d spent a year living on the iPad, and a lot of it still felt like swimming upstream. My argument was that fixing the iPad’s file management and multitasking wasn’t the impressive part of the story. It was the price of admission. As I put it back then, that’s the starting point, not the ending one. In a few days, we’ll get another WWDC keynote, and I keep coming back...

Intentional AI Show Art, a bonsai tree over a computer chip.

THE MACSPARKY DISPATCH My new podcasts with Chris Bailey Hi Friend, I'm proud to announce I just released a new podcast, and I've been wanting to tell you about it for months. It's called Intentional AI, and it's a show about using AI to actually get your work done. Not the doom. Not the hype. The practical, useful stuff that gives you your time back. The origin story for this goes back to my co-host, Chris Bailey, and me looking, in vain, for a show like this. Everywhere we looked, the AI...

THE MACSPARKY DISPATCH Hi Friend, At the top of my daily note, there are five little checkboxes. Shop. Bonsai. Exercise. Reading. Meditation. They aren't on the calendar. They have no time blocks assigned. They just sit there. For a while, I thought of them as "non-negotiables". Every box had to get checked every day. That was the deal I made with myself. But it started to feel like a burden, and I kind of lost the thread. I love all five of them. The shift happened gradually. I started...
