Alec's first job · How it works

Scene 1

The board

✦

Real jobs. Real pay. Pick one that fits.

No resume. No pitch. Just cards: what it is, what it pays, when it's due, how big.

Under the hood: the board shows only a safe public summary of each job — nothing about the client leaks until someone claims it. First tap to take a job wins it, instantly, for everyone.

Scene 2

"Want it?"

Rate calculator for a billing system

$1805 daysSmall

A small tool that turns usage numbers into a price, using the client's pricing bands. You'll build it with your own AI — we hand you every instruction.

What "done" means4 things it must do. We check them for you.

What you needYour AI (Claude, ChatGPT…) + a free GitHub account. We'll walk you through it.

New here? See how this works ▸

Plain answer to a plain question: can I do this, and is it worth my evening?

"Done" is a real checklist with automated tests already written. Back is just navigation — nothing happens until "I'll take it." Guests can browse everything without an account; "See how this works" pops up this very walkthrough, with a pinned button at the top: Try a practice job — a no-stakes trial run of the whole loop (example to be crafted; stubbed for now).

Scene 3

Join — or just sign in

✦

To take a job, you'll need an account.

This one's yours now.It just left the board.

One gate, only when it's needed. Already signed in? This screen never appears — tapping "I'll take it" just takes it.

Guests browse the whole board and open any job freely; the account gate exists only at the moment of claiming. Create-or-login completes the claim in one motion. Payout details can follow later — never a wall at the door.

Scene 4

Step 1 of 9

✦

I know what needs building. Your AI knows how. You carry things between us — exactly as given — and you get paid.

Step 1 · Get set upCopy the block below and hand it to your AI. It will set up your workspace and tell you what it did.

Done whenYour AI pastes back a short summary of the job.

One step at a time. Copy. Hand it over. That's the whole skill on day one.

The copied payload is self-contained and never needs editing — if it did, that's the machine's defect, not Alec's job. His AI also receives a rulebook file that teaches it how to behave on this job.

Scene 5

Paste back. Checked.

Show your workPaste what your AI reported.

"Workspace ready. The job: a pricing tool that…"

That matches. ✓Nice — here's step 2.

Every step ends the same way: paste what happened, BB checks it, next card.

The check is against a written rubric, and the green mark writes a permanent, undoable record. The word "checked" can only appear when something was actually checked — that rule is enforced in code.

Scene 6

A quick question

My AI asks: do the price bands include the bottom number?

✦

Good question — the answer's settled: yes, bottom number included.

An update for your AIHand this over and keep going.

Stuck? Ask in your own words. If the answer exists, you get it in seconds — copy-ready.

Behind the scenes a four-door sorter handles every question: already answered · BB can answer · actually a new request · the client must decide. This one was door two — no human interrupted.

Scene 7

Waiting — honestly

Waiting on the clientI've asked whether discounts apply mid-month. You can't go further on this step until they answer. I'll ping you.

Step 6 · Build the discount rulePaused

No spinner. No fake progress. The truth: it's the client's turn. Go live your life.

The client sees one simple card with the question and BB's recommendation. Their single tap becomes a written decision — and returns to Alec as a copy-ready update the next scene.

Scene 8

"Almost."

Almost — one checklist item isn't met.The tool gives the wrong answer when usage is zero. Here's a note that points your AI right at it.

Fixed. ✓All 4 checklist items now pass.

A miss isn't a judgment. It's a map: what's wrong, and the exact note that fixes it.

This is why the green marks mean something — they can say no. Rejections always name the unmet checklist item in plain words and hand over a focusing note.

Scene 9

Deliver → checked → paid

Robot inspectors: all green ✓Now the client is trying it out…

Accepted. $180 on the way.Clean work, Alec.

One tap packages everything with its proof. Machines check first, then the client tries it, then you're paid.

Delivery opens a package the inspectors can verify: every checklist item mapped to the exact work that satisfies it — Alec's AI produced that mapping automatically because the rulebook demands it.

The record

Rate calculator — accepted$180 · 2 questions asked · all checks passed

✦

Your record just started. Three new jobs fit you — one's a size up.

Not claims — receipts. Every finished job is proof no resume can fake. This is the credential.

Receipts unlock levels, and levels unlock real abilities: bigger jobs, then jobs that build AI agents, then letting your own agent do the carrying while you supervise. The ladder is earned only from receipts — never from streaks or points.
