ADVICE

Build Context Files Before Deploying Agents

  • Don't jump straight to advanced agent setups; progress through levels: basic use, personalized context (DNA), then agents.
  • Igor teaches building persistent context files first because they make agent automation reliable.
ANECDOTE

How Igor Bootstrapped Alfredo On A Mac Mini

  • Igor bought a Mac Mini, installed the OpenClaw GitHub repository, and connected it to his Claude API key to create his agent Alfredo.
  • Alfredo provides a chat interface and can remote-control a browser, run long tasks, and access linked tools.
ADVICE

Manually Curate Sources To Feed The Agent

  • Create a curated source list (Twitter, newsletters, blogs, communities) for the agent to monitor so it filters signals you care about.
  • Igor manually selected AI outlets, Twitter accounts and newsletters as input sources for Alfredo's scraper.
