Six minutes of my robot doing actual work


Hi Friend,

Robot Builders Club Season Two starts tonight, and it comes with the Robot Assistant Field Guide. Hooray!

Get $50 Off for the next week with code: ROBOT50

Also, I put a new video up today. Six minutes of my robot assistant doing actual work.

So what do I mean by "actual work"? It reads the overnight email and hands me a short list of what needs a human, with the routine replies already drafted. It files the receipts and forwards the tax ones to my accountant. It reads the lease and the insurance renewal and tells me the three things I should be looking at. It watches prices, tracks warranties and return windows, and mentions when I haven't talked to a friend in three months. Each evening I take a photo of my daily note card and it checks off what I finished.

None of that took a line of code. The whole method is writing instructions in plain English.

That's the idea behind the Robot Assistant Field Guide. Not a chatbot you ask questions. An assistant that knows your projects, your files, and your week, and does the repetitive work you keep putting off. I call it the donkey work.

Starting tonight there's a live room to go with it. Robot Builders Club Season Two runs every Monday from tonight through February. Twenty-three sessions. Somebody brings the thing they're stuck on, we look at it together, and most weeks it's working before the hour is out. The sessions are weekly and every one is recorded and posted a few days later along with a transcript and other resources. It's a lot of fun, but you don't have to be there to get value from the course. Just have your robot read the transcripts.

AI is evolving so quickly. None of us knows what this looks like in February. Siri AI is coming, local models keep getting better, and the model you should be using this month keeps changing. A recorded course can't cover something that hasn't happened yet, so there's a room instead, every Monday, while it happens.

So what you're buying is ten foundation videos, ten recorded workshops, the Starter Kit, all 22 recorded sessions from Season One, and the 23 live ones ahead. More than forty hours of it already made, past seventy by the end of February. Most courses are a fixed thing you finish. This one is bigger at Christmas than it is the day you buy it.

It's $249, and the code ROBOT50
takes $50 off through September 15.

There’s a free video on that page if you're interested.

Your pal,
David

P.S. Scot took the course earlier this year. “This is the best course you’ve ever done. I knew Claude could do all of the things in the course, but I didn’t know how to set it up and put it together.”

If you buy it and it isn’t what you hoped, tell me within 14 days and I’ll refund you.

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,Last night I had an interesting experience. I was watching a baseball game with my wife, and she looked at me and said, "Didn't that guy pitch last night?" I told her no. She looked at me the way wives sometimes look at husbands, and then she pulled out her phone, activated Siri AI, and asked it, "Did number 59 on the Dodgers pitch last night?" Sure enough, Siri AI reported, he did. Then she smiled at me and set her phone down. Gang, Siri is good at world...

THE MACSPARKY DISPATCH Hi Friend, I recently did a quarterly planning session with some of the MacSparky Labs members. I do that every quarter and find it really rewarding. It gives us a bit of a personal accountability circle. During the session, I started talking about the importance of quarterly review. Now I know, reading this, you're thinking that the new year is just around the corner. If you're going to start thinking about planning and priorities, that seems like the ideal time to do...

THE MACSPARKY DISPATCH Hi Friend, There is a world of difference between asking a robot, “Help me do this,” and asking, “What should I do?” AI can be remarkably good at the first question but lead you astray with the second. New users often learn that distinction the expensive way. I’ve taught thousands of people how to use agentic AI, and I’ve seen a similar pattern. People get into trouble after they have some success with AI and try to push it further. Quite often, the thing they want on...
