This isn't a session on Copilot in Word or having ChatGPT on your phone. It's about the setup that people doing serious work with AI are quietly using.

A forward deployed engineer drops into a client, gets up to speed fast, and delivers. To do that well now, you need AI set up around you, not just a chat box you type prompts into.

We'll install Claude Code and Codex inside VS Code and get them working on real files.

We'll set up Obsidian as a second brain the agents can read from and write to, and build an LLM-maintained wiki that grows as you work, so your notes, decisions and client knowledge stay organised without you doing the filing. Then we'll put jobs on a schedule so useful things happen while you're not at your desk.

You leave with a working toolkit on your own laptop, ready for your next client engagement.
