Build Your Butler is a free course that teaches AI by building something real: a household butler that works for you, on your own Mac.

It grew out of a butler one family built for themselves and still uses every morning. The software behind it, Butler, is open source. The course turns it into something anyone can set up, with Claude doing the technical work.

Getting help

1. Ask Claude. In your Butler folder: “Something went wrong. What happened, in plain words?”
2. Run the health check. Type /butler-doctor in Claude Code.
3. Tell us. Every lesson ends with a Something didn’t work for me button. We read every report and use them to improve the lessons.
