What's in the checklist?
- 7 tools I actually use — Claude Code, Ollama, OpenClaw, Sanity, Vercel, Loops, Cloudflare. With one-line notes on why I picked each one.
- The realistic 3-day timeline — what actually happens when a non-coder tries to set up AI at home. Day 1: excitement. Day 2: the valley. Day 3: it works.
- 5 mistakes to avoid — I made all of them so you don't have to. Includes the geo-blocking problem nobody talks about.
- 6 Google search patterns — the exact search tricks that turn 3 hours of stuck into 10 minutes of fixed.
Who is this for?
You're not a developer. You don't know what Docker is. You've seen people building incredible things with AI and you want in — but every tutorial assumes you already know the basics.
This checklist is the "basics" that nobody bothered to write down. It's what I wish I had when I started.
