SECTION 04 // OPERATOR WALKTHROUGH
Six modules. One working deployment.
Students walk away with a working operational AI deployment on their own machine — not theoretical knowledge of how AI works.
The Operational Gap
The four failure modes of consumer AI usage. Why models alone are not the unlock. The kitchen-vs-knife metaphor. AIIP™ as the integration layer.
OUTCOME: Articulate why operational AI is different from AI access.
Foundation & Dev Environment
Apple Silicon setup. Homebrew, Oh My Zsh, Git, GitHub CLI. Node, Python, Rust toolchains. Verification and recovery.
OUTCOME: A clean operational developer base on your machine.
The Four-Lane Fleet
Claude Code installation and configuration. OpenCode and Codex CLI as redundancy. Ollama + local model selection. ChatGPT routing. Gemini integration. The OpenClaw onboarding wizard.
OUTCOME: A working four-lane agent fleet on your machine.
Persistent Memory
Notion + Obsidian setup. Second-brain template (PAPERBRAIN pattern). iCloud-backed vault sync. Vector memory configuration in OpenClaw. CLAUDE.md per-project context patterns.
OUTCOME: A continuity layer your agents read from and write to.
Operational Resilience
iCloud Drive setup and capacity planning. Time Machine + external SSD backup. Dotfiles in version control. Credential isolation. Recovery scenarios.
OUTCOME: Deployment durable across disk loss, theft, and human error.
Operating the System
Daily, weekly, monthly operational rhythms. Telegram control surface usage. Aider workflows for autonomous coding. The self-improving agent loop. Scaling beyond a single machine.
OUTCOME: You're operating an AIIP™ deployment, not just installing one.
Three formats. Same material.
Different speed.
