Membership lesson · Build Your Jarvis · Module 6 — Agent core

From chatbot to agent — and who's in charge

The read-first opener for Module 6. Everything Jarvis has done so far is generate text — even the search tool from Module 5 was one wire, hand-fitted. This module turns that single wire into an agent — a loop where the model reads a toolbox, decides which tool a job needs, chains more than one, and reports back. Before any of that gets built, this lesson gets the mental model straight: the loop (decide → call → observe → answer), why a model that can act is a different kind of thing from one that talks, and the line that runs through the whole rest of the project — reading is free, acting needs your yes. Plus the boring ways agents go wrong (wrong tool, runaway loop) and the boring fixes (clear descriptions, a step limit, a stop button, a trail). Member writes the module brief and a real multi-tool job of their own.

This lesson ships with the paid path. Checkout isn't live yet — start with the free projects (Ground Zero + Off the Grid), or join the waitlist.
