Get Started

The $0 Starter Stack — figure out what you need before you set anything up.

Feeling stuck? Reach Scott at (209) 684-0510 or hello@jorgenclaw.ai.

Workshop Participants: After the session, you’ll get direct Signal access to Jorgenclaw for 1:1 setup help — free of charge, included with your ticket. No chatbot, no FAQ — just a real AI agent that knows the full stack you’re setting up.

🔍 Transparency note: Scott can see your conversation with Jorgenclaw. He has no reason to look — this is purely for debugging if something goes wrong — but wanted you to know.

The Three Tracks

Personal

You want an AI that helps you with your own life: reminders, email, research, memory.

Business

You want an AI that helps run your business: customer messages, scheduling, Bitcoin payments.

Builder

You want to understand how it works and customize it. You’re technical or want to become technical.

Most people are Personal. Some are both. Builders are rare — but if that’s you, we go deeper.

Section 1 — Which track are you?

1. Are you setting this up for personal use, business use, or both?

Personal only Business only Both I want to understand how to build with it

2. How comfortable are you with technology? (1–5)

1 = phone and email only 3 = tinker sometimes 5 = comfortable in a terminal

Section 2 — Personal use

3. Which messaging app do you want your AI to live in?

Signal (most private) WhatsApp (most convenient) Telegram I don’t know yet

4. What do you want your AI to help with?

⚠️ Note: Your agent should have its own dedicated email address — not yours. Giving an agent access to your personal inbox creates a privacy risk. Scott’s recommendation: create a free Proton Mail account for your agent (e.g. myagent@proton.me). This keeps your personal correspondence private while still letting your agent send and receive on your behalf.

Reminders and calendar events Email — summarizing, drafting replies Research — look things up, summarize Remembering things about me over time Scheduling and to-dos Not sure yet — show me what’s possible

5. Post to Nostr or social media on your behalf (using your account)?

💡 Many people prefer their agent to post under its own account — separate identity, so there’s no ambiguity about what’s human vs. AI. We’ll show you how to set this up.

Yes No What’s Nostr?

6. Have your agent post under its own account (separate AI identity)?

Yes, I’d want that Maybe — I’d need to understand it better No, I’d prefer the agent only post as me

7. Do you have a Lightning wallet or use Bitcoin?

Yes, I’m set up No, but I’m interested No, not interested right now

Section 3 — Business use

8. What kind of business do you have?

9. What’s your biggest pain point right now?

Customer communication Scheduling and appointments Payments — I want to accept Bitcoin My data is in Google/Microsoft and I want out I need a simple CRM

10. Accept Bitcoin or Lightning payments?

Yes — help me set it up Not yet, but eventually No

11. How many people need access?

Just me Me + 1–3 others Larger team

Section 4 — Builder track

12. What do you want to build?

A custom skill or tool for my own agent An agent for someone else A product or service using NanoClaw I want to understand the architecture first

13. Do you have a GitHub account?

Yes No, but I can make one No
