AI Developer Accelerator Coaching Call - January 27
VIEW RECORDING - 180 mins (No highlights) Key Takeaways - Claudebot (now Moltbot) is a powerful agent, but requires strict security isolation. Run it in a dedicated VM with its own "service accounts" (email, calendar, GitHub) to prevent data leaks. - SOC 2 & HIPAA compliance is a major moat, but a huge time sink. It costs ~$20k/year and requires weeks of manual work, making it a key differentiator for SaaS businesses. - Productize your AI skills by building a portfolio. Create a few free projects to establish expertise, then offer them as a productized service (e.g., voice agents via LiveKit/Bland.ai). - Use AI for rapid prototyping and idea validation. Before coding, use tools like GSD (for deep planning) or a simple Claude Code sandbox (for quick tests) to refine concepts. Topics Claudebot (Moltbot) & Agent Security - Core Challenge: Claudebot's file system access is a major security risk. - Solution: Service Accounts & Isolation Dedicated VM: Run the agent in an isolated Ubuntu VM (desktop version for GUI apps). Service Accounts: Create a separate Google account for the agent with its own email, calendar, and Google Drive. GitHub: Give the agent its own GitHub account with read-only access to your repos. It works on clones and submits pull requests for review. Memory Vault: Instruct the agent to sync all internal thoughts to an Obsidian vault in its GitHub repo, providing a transparent "window into its brain." - Use Cases & Demos Daily AI News Digest: Patrick's agent uses Brave and Perplexity APIs to email a daily news summary, including source citations and token costs. Training Harness: A Claude Code skill that auto-documents development sessions, generating summaries and artifacts for creating courses. Remote Coding: Scott coded an entire app via WhatsApp, demonstrating the agent's ability to run tasks in the background on a remote machine.
