100 hard-won tips for building a personal AI agent
blaizedsouza · x · 2026-07-27
A repost of an article on building a personal AI agent, framed as a hard-earned list of 100 tips and tricks. The author says the first week was “100% building, 0% working,” while today is the opposite: most of the time goes into keeping the agent working after things break.
The core takeaway is that every rule in the article came from something failing first, which makes it a practical, battle-tested guide rather than a generic overview.
