Guides

Step-by-step, tested AI guides — each one run start to finish on a real machine before it goes live, and dated with a "last verified" stamp. A guide ends when your thing actually works, not at an arbitrary word count.

Topics span the free-AI-access, local-setup and prompting worlds: getting a free API key, running a local LLM, and wiring AI into your own projects. Every guide includes copy-paste commands, the real errors we hit, and a "the catch" section so nothing bites you later.
