Building AI Agents that actually work (Full Course)
Greg Isenberg
Building an AI executive assistant agent using markdown context and memory files (agents.mmd, memory.mmd), MCP connectors for Gmail, Google Calendar, Granola, Notion, and Stripe, and custom skills within harnesses Claude Code, Codeex, and Anti-Gravity.
- Agent loop (observe, think, act) runs on LLMs such as Claude Opus 4.6, GPT 5.4, and Gemini 3 within harnesses Claude Code, Codeex, and Anti-Gravity, demonstrated by building a minimalist portfolio site for Greg Eisenberg via Perplexity research, code generation, localhost preview, and screenshot validation.
- Context is preloaded from agents.mmd (called claude.mmd or gemini.md per platform) and preferences are persisted in memory.mmd via āupdate memory.mmdā instructions to retain user settings across sessions.
- MCP (Model-Context-Protocol) connectors by Anthropic enable agents to use Gmail, Google Calendar, Granola, Notion, and Stripe; custom skills stored in .claude/skills (e.g., ads analyst skill scraped 220 ads and landing pages to generate a competitor report that once required 3ā4 hours manually).
