Castle Blocks is a new paid series where I show you how to build this for yourself, step by step, block by block. No servers or code, just you and your agent working in your files.
Each block builds on the last and by the end youâll have a working agent with a name, a memory, and a home it can maintain. Best of all youâll understand every piece because you built it yourself.
