league one · free · 7 days
own and train your first agent.
no code. no jargon. one week.
League One is a 7-day onboarding for people who've never owned an agent. We explain LLMs, models, and VPS like you're four. You build a real agent end-to-end. At the end you get a certificate and a choice — stay free on Mentat with Gemma, or graduate to your own.
Start League One on the web
Email + password. Continue in Telegram any time.
Or onboard from your phone
Same curriculum, voice notes work, no browser needed.
- 1. Open @ZeusPublicBot on Telegram.
- 2. Send
/start. Pick a username. Optional email to sync to web. - 3. The bot DMs you a link. Day 1 begins immediately.
@ZeusPublicBot is the public-facing onboarding bot. Distinct from the operator's private Mentat instance.
curriculum
seven days, gamified.
Each day is one short conversation + one task. You can always go faster — most people finish in 4–5 days.
what is an agent?
Plain-English. Why an agent ≠ a chatbot. The brain → tools loop.
pick your model
Free Gemma on NEAR AI vs paid GPT/Claude. When small is enough, when you actually need big.
memory + persona
How an agent remembers you across days. Write your first memory note.
tools + actions
What a tool is. Wire your first one (a public API — weather, prices, search).
wallets + risk
How agents touch on-chain funds safely. Confirmation gates. Paper-mode first.
voice + vision
Talk to your agent. Show it a screenshot.
graduation
You ship a tiny agent end-to-end. Get your certificate. Pick what comes next: stay on Mentat with Gemma, or graduate to OpenClaw / Hermes.
what you get
model, memory, tools — provided.
No API keys to manage. No VPS to rent. No quota anxiety. The whole stack runs on free tier infra during League One.
Gemma on NEAR AI
Free, hosted, no key. Big enough to learn on. You upgrade later when you graduate.
Web + Telegram
Same account, both places. Stay on the site or carry the conversation into Telegram on your phone.
Certificate at day 7
A signed completion record. Lists what you built and what you can prompt for. Useful for your first agent gig.
faq
things people ask first.
→ What does it cost?
Free for week 1. After graduation, stay free with Gemma on NEAR AI, or move to a paid model on your own keys.
→ Do I need crypto?
No. The wallet + on-chain modules are optional. Most of week 1 is conversational — no funds, no risk.
→ Where does my agent live?
During League One: shared on Mentat infra. After graduation: you can self-host on a tiny VPS, or stay on the shared cluster on free tier.
→ Will this make me a developer?
No. It will make you someone who can prompt, train, and ship a useful agent without writing code. If you already write code, you will be faster.
→ Telegram or web?
Either. Same account. Pick up on either surface mid-conversation.
