From prompt to personal AI assistant: an onboarding guide to coding agents

Sorts emails, drafts replies, and creates tasks in a tracker

You will learn how to build solutions with coding agents such as Cursor, Codex, or Claude Code, and how to handle common technical tasks: integrating with external services, connecting LLMs, and testing. 

We will walk through these topics using a case study: building a personal productivity service. In the end, it will work with your Gmail inbox, determine whether a reply is needed, classify emails, prepare drafts, create tasks in a task tracker, and run automatically on a schedule.

By the end of this case you'll have a working product and a set of reusable skills:

basic skills for working with coding agents
setting up integrations with Gmail, Todoist, and DeepSeek
adapting an AI assistant to your workflows and tools
configuring scheduled execution for the AI assistant
