Build Your Own
Assistant

A step-by-step guide to working with neural networks and creating AI agents — from confident dialogue with a model to your own digital helper.

Anton Konnov's book 'Build Your Own Assistant'

For practice, not for the shelf

Understand AI and put it to work straight away

The book explains neural networks without unnecessary theory and walks the reader through increasing levels of complexity: from choosing a tool and writing a strong prompt to designing an assistant that works with role, context and tasks.

Examples can be repeated as you read — no special technical background is required.
