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 been running Apple’s beta software this year and I keep forgetting it’s there. And that got me thinking. This is the smoothest beta cycle in years. Apple shipped one genuinely big new thing, Siri AI, the one we’ve all been waiting on, and then spent the rest of the summer fixing bugs and sanding down rough edges instead of stacking six more headline features on top. They delivered on a prior promise instead of making three shiny new ones they couldn’t...

THE MACSPARKY DISPATCH Hi Friend, Over the last month, I moved the MacSparky Labs and Field Guides over to a new home in Circle. I’ve spent a lot of time on that space. Colors, tone, the little details that make a place feel like somewhere instead of just software. Then I'd click back over to macsparky.com and wince a little. The old site was grey, black, and white. When I first moved to WordPress, I was just relieved the thing worked. Getting it stable was the whole project. But relief isn't...

THE MACSPARKY DISPATCH Hi Friend, I recently saw the new Toy Story 5 movie, and I want to suggest you consider seeing it with any kids in your life. Let me explain. I'll keep the spoilers light, because you should see it. The setup is that a kid gets a new device, and that device becomes the thing the whole story turns on. The movie portrays technology with a subtlety I wasn't expecting. By the end, the device isn't the villain. It has a place. It just has limits, and the story is honest...
