A Telegram bot that reads your email, drafts your replies, does your research, and waits for you to override — before it speaks for you.
A ten-module build course. You start with a delegation audit and end with a Telegram+email personal bot that has been handling real work for two weeks under a grace-window and verify-before-use discipline. Every module ships a tiny deployable step; every module explicitly names its threshold and its override path. No black-box automation. The course is opinionated: grace window gates OUTBOUND actions (drafts → notify → countdown → send unless overridden); verify-before-use gates KNOWLEDGE entering the bot's authoritative memory. Both patterns generalize — internalize them here and the rest of your agentic work gets cleaner.

Deploy the bot from all 10 modules to a live host (Fly.io / Railway / your own VM). Keep it running for ≥ 14 continuous days handling your real email + Telegram DMs under the grace-window + verify-before-use disciplines. Submit: GitHub repo, deployment URL, delegation matrix, threshold config, audit-log excerpts (30+ decisions), spam false-positive log (5+), research-memory dump (3-5 verified briefs), before/after time audit, cost log, honest failure log (5+).

I'm taking "Replace Yourself" — a course about building a personal Telegram+email bot that answers on my behalf under two disciplines: a grace window on outbound actions and verify-before-use on knowledge that enters the bot's authoritative memory. Here's my context: 1. My week's shape (routine / judgment / learning): [describe] 2. My messengers of choice (Telegram / Slack / iMessage): [pick] 3. My inbox (Gmail / Outlook / other): [pick] 4. My stack comfort (Node / Python / both): [pick] Given that, answer: - Which recurring tasks in my week are safest to delegate first, and why? - What's my expected LLM + hosting cost per month at moderate usage? - What's the ONE task that a single misfire would burn the most trust — how should it be gated (rung, threshold, escalation)? - What's the smallest working bot I could ship this weekend, and the one metric I'd judge it by?
