Build a complete AI stack.
One honest page at the end.

Options may change. The candidates here are a curated, verified list — tools die, prices move, signups grow walls, and the list gets updated. The technique — how a stack is built, how the parts connect, how decisions get made — is not changing for a long time. Learn the technique.

Seven classes, one stack

Options may change. The technique — how a stack is built, how the parts connect, how decisions get made — is not changing for a long time. Learn the technique.

Build your stack

Seven moves. Every pick is yours — the ranking is advice, not law. An empty block is a decision, not a gap.

Step 01

Start from your job

The template pre-marks the layers your job needs. It saves you the cold start, not the thinking.

Step 02

Which layers do you need?

Most working stacks run on three or four. Skipped layers stay visible — an empty block is a decision, not a gap.

Step 03

Your agent — pick the type, then the agent

Chat agents bundle their tools. General-purpose harnesses attach theirs. Coding agents live in the terminal.

Step 04

Pick one instrument per class

Top-ranked first, scored on eight bars — free size, BD access, capacity, when to pay, Bangla, mobile, setup, reliability. Where a bar doesn't apply, it says N/A — N/A beats a lie.

Step 05

Connections — who feeds whom

One plain sentence per link. If it runs through your hands, end the line with "by hand" — that's your first automation candidate.

Step 06

Cost block

Every paid pick converts at this rate. Free is 0 — written, not implied.

Your Stack Map

Six blocks. This is the file that gets audited, gated and certified — the same shape every stack in this course ships as.

One page at the end.

Export your Map as text — keep it, version it, bring it to the audit.
