Zero GPU, zero dollars: a Linux rookie's crew of free AIs

Description and use

<p>A few weeks ago I couldn't have told you what <code>sudo</code> does.</p> <p>Today my laptop runs a whole crew of AI agents. They babysit my backups, my home lab and my gadgets, and report back every day, in character. One of them is Rick Sanchez. One of them is a British butler who swears like George Carlin. None of them cost a dime, and the laptop doesn't even have a graphics card.</p> <p>I'm not a programmer. I built all of this by describing what I wanted to <a href="https://claude.com/claude-code" rel="noopener noreferrer">Claude</a>, testing it, complaining, and testing it again. This
