Free Custom LLM Agent Setup in 5 min (Claude + AGUI)
Want to build your own AI agent with a custom prompt and UI without spending hours configuring everything? In this video, I walk through how to set up a fully functional custom LLM agent in under 5 minutes using AGUI and Anthropic Claude. We'll clone an open-source GitHub project, configure a custom system prompt, customize the interface, and get everything running locally—for free. Whether you're building internal AI tools, coding assistants, customer support agents, or experimenting with autonomous workflows, this is one of the fastest ways to get started. In this video you'll learn: How to install AGUI locally How to connect an Anthropic Claude model How to customize the system prompt How to modify the UI for your own use case How to run everything locally in just a few minutes How to use the GitHub project as a starting point for your own AI applications This setup is perfect for developers who want a clean starting point for building custom AI agents without dealing with complicated infrastructure.

No More Complex CAD - 3D Modeling With AI & OpenSCAD
Honestly, I used to think 3D CAD modeling was a huge time sink, but then I started building with Claude and OpenSCAD. Turns out, having an AI draft your designs in SCAD language is pretty seamless, even for iterating. Create models and export them straight to STL files you can print.
Building agentic systems, AI products, and the software that holds them together.
I’ve built a lot on Shopify. Four published apps, plus a commerce platform running 15+ storefronts off one codebase. It’s not the only thing I do.
I design and build agentic systems and traditional software. Lately that's a multi-tenant data platform, an agent runtime, a browser-based CAD tool with an AI co-designer, and conversational analytics for e-commerce. The other eight years were the ordinary stuff: SaaS products, APIs, databases, payments, native mobile apps, embedded firmware. I still do plenty of that.
Agents that route work, call tools, and read real company data. Built to run in production, not to demo.
Eight years of it. SaaS, APIs, databases, auth, payments, native mobile apps, embedded firmware.

“Michael is one of the most irreplaceable developers I've had the pleasure of working with in my 6 years in eCommerce. Having scaled a Shopify agency from a team of 6 to 24 and revenues from $400k to $1.2m I know firsthand how HARD it is to find the right people. Michael is honest, skilled, and affable; he is a strong critical problem solver and a gifted technical developer.”
“Michael was excellent to work with. He outlined the goals of the project and hit every single one of them. Edits were fast and efficient. The work on the website looks great and I couldn't be happier.”
“Michael was extremely responsive, communicative and professional. His work was well commented and easy to understand. He worked hard to produce just what we wanted despite changing requirements.”
“Michael has been incredibly professional and helpful. We needed help with building a Shopify app and he stepped up to the task. He's also very communicative and responsive. Highly recommend!”
“Michael was super great to work with, if you are reading this right now wondering if you should hire him stop what you are doing and hire him... 11/10”
