🚀 The Claude Course Book — Build Your AI Chief of Staff

THE CLAUDE COURSE BOOK — 12 chapters. Zero to production. The step-by-step guide to building an AI Chief of Staff that runs 24/7 for ~$15/month.

Rohan Mukherjee — Building things that matter. Telling stories that people need to hear.

🎯 What This Is

This is the complete build guide. Not theory. Not "prompting tips." The actual step-by-step system I used to go from "I have a Claude account" to "I have 13 autonomous AI systems running 24/7."

You'll build a two-layer AI operating system: an interactive agent (Dracarys) living in Slack + Telegram, and an intelligence engine (Claude Cowork) that scans all your tools and delivers prioritized briefings every morning.

Time to build: ~8 hours. Monthly cost: ~$15-20. ROI: 15+ hours saved per week.

📋 The Stack

Component	Tool	Cost
Interactive Agent	OpenClaw (open-source)	Free
LLM API	OpenRouter (Claude Sonnet 4.6)	~$15-20/month

👤 Who This Is For

Founders, operators, and ambitious professionals drowning in Slack, email, meetings, and content creation every day
Non-engineers — no coding experience required. Every step is conversational
Anyone who's tried AI tools but found them useless for the continuous grind of actually running things

You'll need a Claude subscription (Pro or Enterprise), about $20 for API credits, and roughly 8 hours of focused time.
