Hey Academy!
Most AI agent platforms put your data at risk—so I built my own secure bot and I'm giving it to you for free.
In this video, I'll walk you through the Pope Bot: a self-hosted AI agent that runs 24/7 using GitHub Actions and Docker containers. You'll see how to set it up from scratch, connect it to Telegram, and trigger jobs via API. I'll show a real example—building a financial advisor that does daily market research automatically.
You'll also learn how the security architecture keeps your API keys and credentials safe using GitHub Secrets, how the bot logs everything to Git for full transparency, and how it can even analyze its own performance to improve over time. Step-by-step install included.
