AI Operator Tool Primer

Understanding the essential tools you'll use throughout your AI Operator journey—what they do, when to use them, and why they matter.

Before you start building AI systems, you need to understand the tools in your toolkit. This module introduces the key platforms and services you'll use throughout the roadmap—not with hands-on tutorials yet, but with clear explanations of what each tool does, when to use it, and how it fits into your AI Operator workflow.

Think of this as your "tool shed tour" before you start building. By the end, you'll know which tool to reach for when you encounter different problems.

Set Up Your First Supabase Project

Create a free Supabase account and set up your first project. Create a simple table (e.g., "notes" with columns for id, title, content, created_at). Enable Row-Level Security and write a policy that allows users to see only their own notes. Test the database by inserting a few sample records through the Supabase interface.
