Three steps. About 15 minutes. Then your AI tutor takes over.
Free course. Real bot. Let's build.
Enter your email to enroll. We'll create your course account and give you a personal access code that connects your computer to the course.
You'll only see this code once. Copy it and save it somewhere safe (a note on your phone, a sticky note, anywhere you won't lose it).
Save this code now. It cannot be shown again.
Lost your access code? Email [email protected] and we'll sort it out.
You need three things: Node.js, Claude Code, and Bun. All free. Here's how to get them.
A terminal is a text-based window where you type commands. Every computer has one built in.
Press Cmd + Space, type Terminal, and hit Enter.
Click the Start menu and search for PowerShell. Click to open it.
Press Ctrl + Alt + T to open a terminal window.
Node.js is the engine that runs your course tools. Go to nodejs.org and click the big green LTS button. Run the installer, accept the defaults.
Claude Code is your AI tutor. Copy and paste this into your terminal:
Claude Code requires an Anthropic account. The free tier may have usage limits — if you hit them during the course, you'll be prompted to upgrade (plans start at $20/mo). Most students finish within free-tier limits.
Bun is a runtime the Discord plugin needs. One command:
Type claude in your terminal and press Enter. A new interface opens inside your terminal — this is Claude Code. It looks different from your normal terminal. Now type this command inside Claude Code:
Download your student folder — it contains everything Claude Code needs to be your tutor:
Unzip it and put it somewhere you can find — your Desktop or Documents folder works fine.
First, rename .env.template to .env — just remove the word "template" from the filename. Then open the .env file — this is a settings file that stores your personal credentials. This file might be invisible by default. On Mac: open Finder, press Cmd+Shift+. to show hidden files. On Windows: open File Explorer, click View, check "Hidden items."
Open it with any text editor — Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on Mac. Inside you'll see something like:
Replace the placeholder values with your access code and server URL from step 1, then save the file.
Now open your terminal and navigate to the folder. If you put it on your Desktop:
Then type:
Your tutor takes it from there. It will greet you, check your progress, and walk you through building your chatbot step by step.
If you get stuck at any point, your AI tutor can help. Just describe the problem in Claude Code and it will guide you. You can also reach us directly.
