Build Your Own Personal AI Assistant Bot

Description

Build a private AI assistant bot you can message from your phone — one that helps with your recurring personal tasks: reminders, follow-ups, appointment prep, notes, planning, and life admin. In this hands-on 3-hour workshop, you'll create a small always-on computer in the cloud (a Google Cloud VM) and let Codex — an AI assistant on your laptop — do the technical setup for you. You won't memorise terminal commands: you create the accounts and approve each step, and Codex installs everything and explains any errors in plain English. From a past participant: "I never imagined myself getting this 'technical' as a non-tech person. Oanh's AI workshop made it hands-on, can-do. Can't believe I have my own personal AI baby now." — Xuan N. What you'll leave with: What we'll cover: Important — bring a personal laptop you can install software on. You'll install Codex before class. Locked-down work or corporate laptops almost always block software installs and are very hard (often impossible) to use for this — please bring a personal machine where you can install apps. Please bring: Who it's for: People who want a personal AI assistant they control. You don't need to be a developer — some comfort with computers helps, and we go step by step (and let AI do most of the work). Good to know: Questions? Email [email protected]
