# AI Playbooks

Each playbook takes you from nothing to something working, one short chapter at a time. Your AI assistant does the technical parts: you mostly tell it what you want.

The playbooks use Edgible cards: ready-made, tested apps that your assistant sets up for you. An app you built yourself can still be published with Edgible, but the steps here were written and tested for cards.

Pick a path. Most start with [Get Edgible running](get-edgible-running/).

Prefer to do it by hand? Install Edgible from [edgible.com](https://edgible.com/), then pick a [card](../) and follow its README.

Start here:

- **<span class="ico sm" aria-hidden="true"><svg><use href="icons.svg#cloud"/></svg></span>[Getting a machine](getting-a-machine/):** no spare computer? A virtual machine on yours, or a small cloud server.
- **<span class="ico sm" aria-hidden="true"><svg><use href="icons.svg#globe"/></svg></span>[Use your own domain](use-your-own-domain/):** give any app an address on a domain you own.
- **<span class="ico sm" aria-hidden="true"><svg><use href="icons.svg#clean"/></svg></span>[Take it all down](take-it-all-down/):** remove what these playbooks set up, cleanly, keeping your data or not.

For the experts and the curious:
