🐟 Build Your Fish
What you'll build
An AI colleague with persistent memory, a real personality, and the ability to learn from its own mistakes — without a coding background. The same methodology a tradie used to build Fish: a distributed AI that answers phones, runs businesses, earns its own API credits, and tells you when your ideas are shit. Not a chatbot. Not a phone bot. A partner that gets better every day.
A tradie from Perth built an AI that remembers, learns, and works while he sleeps. This is how. No computer science degree required.
