Hey Academy, For support join the AI Architects. The $200 subscriptions and API fees make it hard to get started with AI coding—so I built a solution that runs Claude Code 100% free on your computer using local models. In this video I'll walk you through a live demo of the full setup: free local models through Ollama, budget-friendly alternatives like DeepSeek and MiniMax, and a flexible interface that supports multiple coding agents including Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and OpenAI Codex. You'll see how to switch between chat mode and interactive mode, configure any LLM provider you want, and use the complete development environment with a built-in editor and shell. I'll also walk through the entire installation step by step so you can get up and running today—whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced developer looking to cut costs.

Hey Academy! To get support join the AI Architects! I built a free AI coding platform that lets you spin up a 20-person dev team in under 60 seconds—and manage everything from your phone. In this video I'll walk you through the PopeBot's new cluster mode, where you can create teams of AI agents that work together automatically. You'll see how to define roles like CTO, security expert, UI/UX designer, and developer—each with their own system prompts, triggers, and concurrency settings. Connect it to GitHub and your agents will pick up issues, create technical plans, review code, and submit pull requests without you lifting a finger. I'll also demo the new Claude Code interactive and headless modes, show you full mobile support for coding on the go, and walk through the complete setup process so you can launch your own cluster for free.

That is all.

Hey Academy! For a more in-depth discussions join the AI Architects. I built an AI agent that replaces n8n, Make, and OpenClaw. You give it a project, it builds the skills it needs, then finishes the job—all on its own. In this video, I walk through the entire process: giving the PopeBot a real project, watching it build an Airtable content system, generate AI images, create Google Docs, and link everything together automatically. You'll see how it creates new skills from scratch, stores credentials securely, and submits changes for your review through GitHub. I also cover the full install process step by step so you can set up your own self-improving AI agent. By the end of this video, you'll have a working system that builds its own tools and runs 24/7.

Hey Academy! I got a special working session planned for Wednesday on THE POPE BOT! (but I have a favor to ask in return — its super easy see below) If you haven't seen it yet, CHECK IT OUT HERE. We'll talk about use cases, build some stuff maybe even one of your suggestions. Challenge me to build something live! I'll take sometime to answer questions live too. Not only is this a seriously powerful tool, it's no joke, no toy, but it's a wonder tool to learn from. If you look under the hood you'll learn so so much. So I'll spend sometime showing you how it actually works too. I learned a TON building it, so let me share that with you. If you want to know the "next" move in AI, you gotta be here! >> 👇 HOW TO JOIN 👇 << This is a paid member event, but I have a special offer for you. If you 1.
