Want the advantage in your coding projects? In this video I'll show you how to build your own coding agent like Claude Code from scratch—so you finally understand the fundamentals instead of just maxing out settings and skills.

I'll demystify how coding agents actually work: an LLM running in a loop with tools that read files, write files, and run shell commands on your computer, plus the memory that feeds the conversation back each time.

You'll also see how to use the Vercel AI SDK to stay provider-agnostic, switching freely between Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, and more without getting locked in.

Finally, I'll explain why the future of software is agentic-first—built around a chat, not endless UI—and show the second brain app I'm building with an agent at its core.
