DIY Setup Guide
Limitless AIOS
Set it up yourself
Getting Started · June 2026

Your AIOS,
set up yourself.

An AI layer around your business that learns how you work and takes the busywork off your plate, one piece at a time.

The Idea
02 / 15

What you are setting up.

Most owners spend their days working in the business: admin, chasing, checking, repeating. An AIOS is an AI layer wrapped around your business that learns how you work and quietly takes that load off you.

You talk to it in plain English and it does the thing. You add to it one capability at a time, and each one gives you a little more of your day back. No technical skill needed. If you can describe it, it can probably build it.

How It Works
03 / 15

Five principles to keep in mind.

These shape how you use it. Hold them loosely and the rest follows.

Just ask

If you can describe it in plain English, it can probably be built. Do not self-censor. Ask for the impossible.

Talk, do not type

Speak your answers with Wispr Flow and let it format them. Faster, and it sounds more like you.

Layers, not leaps

Add one capability at a time. Each is useful on its own. You get more confident without trying.

Built for security

Your data stays on your machine. A human stays in the loop by default. Plan before you build.

Borrow before you build

There is a library of ready-made modules. Check there before building anything from scratch.

The Journey
04 / 15

Built up in five layers.

You do not need to think about this to use it, but it helps to see the road ahead. You add the layers in order, over time.

1
Context

It knows you

Your AI understands your business: strategy, team, processes, history.

2
Connect

It plugs in

Connects to the tools you use every day and the data you already have.

3
Clarity

It cuts the noise

Watches your meetings, messages and signals, and surfaces what matters in a daily brief.

4
Automate

It takes over

You score each recurring task and automate them away, one by one.

5
Growth

You get time back

The freed time goes into growth, new initiatives, or simply your life.

Before You Start
05 / 15

Five things to have ready.

Sort these first and the setup runs smoothly start to finish. All free or low-cost, about ten minutes to line up.

Everything in one place: the five below are all on our setup page at limitless-setup.pages.dev. Open it, work down the checklist, then come back here.
1
A Claude Pro plan  ·  from claude.ai. This powers the whole AIOS. Pro is plenty; you do not need Max.
2
The Claude desktop app  ·  the entire setup runs inside it. Download it and sign in. No VS Code, no terminal needed.
3
A free GitHub account  ·  at github.com. Send us your username and we give you access to your own private workspace.
4
Git  ·  the desktop app may ask to install this the first time. Just click yes, or we do it together on the call.
5
Wispr Flow  ·  from wisprflow.ai. Voice typing, so you can talk to your AIOS instead of typing. This is how you will mostly use it.

Mac or Windows, either works. Set aside about 30 to 45 minutes for the first sitting, most of which is your AIOS interviewing you.

The Setup
06 / 15

Start to finish, five steps.

The whole thing in order. The next slides zoom in on the two that matter most.

1
Install

Get Claude Code

Download the desktop app, sign in, and click yes if it offers to install Git.

2
Open

Get your workspace

Accept the GitHub invite, download it as a ZIP, and open the folder.

3
One-time

Turn off prompts

Settings, then Claude Code, switch on Allow bypass permissions mode.

4
The big one

Build your context

Run one command and answer the interview. Now it knows your world.

5
Every day

Prime and go

Start each session with one command and it catches itself up.

Step 4 · The Important One
07 / 15

Teach it about you.

Your AIOS starts as a blank template. The first real thing you do is teach it about you and your business. In Claude Code, type this and send it:

/install module-installs/context-os-v1

It interviews you: your business, your role, what you are trying to achieve right now, and the numbers that matter. Answer in plain English. When it is done, it has written your context and it understands your world.

Tip: when it asks a question, hold your dictation key and just talk for a minute. It is faster than typing, and it keeps your natural voice.

The Order
08 / 15

Install in this order.

To add any module, type /install and point it at the module folder, or just say "install Context OS". Your AIOS reads the setup guide and walks you through it. One at a time, top to bottom.

1
Context OS  ·  it learns you. Always first, everything else builds on it.
2
Infra OS  ·  connects your GitHub backup and switches on the /commit save command.
3
Data OS  ·  plug in your tools: email, calendar, sheets, the numbers you work off.
4
Intel OS  ·  pulls your meetings and messages into one place.
5
Remote Control  ·  drive your AIOS from your phone while your computer is on. No bot. Always-on cloud is an optional upgrade.
6
Productivity OS  ·  your task system: projects, next actions, weekly review.
7
Daily Brief  ·  your morning brief on what to focus on, sent to your email or Slack each day.
8
Slash Commands  ·  switches on /explore and /brainstorm so you can start building your own.
Then, Day to Day
09 / 15

Start each day, then keep building.

Once the core eight are in, begin every session with this. Your AIOS loads what it knows and tells you exactly where things stand:

/prime

From here it is already doing real work for you. You are not limited to the ready-made modules. When something still eats your time, tell your AIOS in plain English and ask it to build the next thing.

That is the whole idea: it keeps growing around your business, one layer at a time, for as long as you use it.

Do Not Skip This
10 / 15

Save your work.

Your AIOS lives on your own machine. At the end of every session, run one command. It saves everything you have done and backs it up safely to your private workspace:

/commit

This is your seatbelt. It means you never lose your work, you can always go back to how things were, and your AIOS remembers today when you sit down tomorrow. Skip it and a whole session can vanish.

Good practice: after a solid chunk of work or a big task, run /commit to save it, then start a fresh session with /prime. Give different tasks their own sessions. You can keep two or three windows open at once, a task running in each, so the AI's thinking is never the bottleneck.

Using It · Talk
11 / 15

Talk to it, do not type.

The fastest way to use your AIOS is your voice. With Wispr Flow running, you hold one key, speak in plain English, and your words land as clean text. It is roughly three times quicker than typing, and it keeps the way you actually talk.

1
Hold the dictation key  ·  and just talk, the way you would explain it to a colleague. Do not worry about being neat.
2
Let go and send  ·  your AIOS reads what you meant, not just what you said, and tidies it up for you.
3
Speak in full thoughts  ·  a rambling minute of context beats a tidy one-line prompt. The more you give it, the better it does.

If you only build one new habit, build this one. Most people who stall with their AIOS are the ones still typing.

Using It · Asking
12 / 15

How to ask well.

You do not need special words or commands. A few habits get you a much better answer.

Describe the outcome, not the steps. Say what you want to end up with and let it work out how.
For anything bigger, ask it to plan first. Then say build. You see the plan before anything happens.
Fresh session per task, not one long chat. After a solid chunk of work or a big task, run /commit, then start a new session with /prime. Give different tasks their own sessions, and you can keep two or three windows open at once so the AI is never the bottleneck.
Ask for more than seems possible. If you can describe it, it can probably be built. The answer is often yes.
Using It · First Week
13 / 15

Try these first.

Day one should not be a blank page. Once your context is built, give it real work straight away. A few to start with, said out loud:

1
"Draft a reply to this email for me"  ·  paste one in and watch it write in your voice.
2
"Summarise this document and tell me what matters"  ·  drop in anything long you have been putting off reading.
3
"What ate most of my time this week, and what could you take off my plate?"  ·  let it find your next automation.
4
"Build me a morning brief"  ·  ask it to pull your day together and send it to you each morning.

The point is to use it for real work from day one. That is the fastest way to learn what it can do.

Using It · When You Get Stuck
14 / 15

If you get stuck.

Nothing here can break anything, so explore freely. When something does not go to plan, a few things to know.

Ask it about itself. "What can you do?" or "Why did that not work?" Your AIOS can explain its own setup in plain English.
Stuck? Paste it back to your AIOS. Take a screenshot (Command + Shift + 3), paste it straight into your AIOS, tell it you are confused, and ask it to explain in simple terms. You can sort out most things yourself this way.
Your data stays on your machine. Nothing is shared anywhere unless you ask it to. Experiment without worry.
Keep your context current. When something changes in your business, tell it, so it stays accurate over time.
You are set up

Start small.
Add a layer
each week.

Nothing here can break anything. Explore, ask it questions about itself, and build from there.
