Dear Friend, Subscriber, and Category Pirate,

Most people who want their own Pirate Eddie Bot aren’t chasing a shiny object.

They’re drowning in their own generosity.

They’ve spent years publishing their best thinking—posts, talks, decks, frameworks, half-formed ideas that became breakthroughs for other people. And now the problem isn’t “How do I create more?” It’s: How does anyone actually find, use, and benefit from what I’ve already given away?

That’s the quiet tax of being a missionary.

Your Superconsumers don’t want a scavenger hunt through your archives.

They don’t want to “start at the beginning” or read 47 posts to get one clear answer.

They want your thinking, synthesized for them, in the moment they’re stuck.

The Pirate Eddie Bot is not just a chatbot. It’s a personal librarian trained on a point of view. A way to turn a lifetime of generosity into clarity, leverage, and outcomes—without asking people to dig.

And when people see that working in the wild, they all ask the same question:

“How do I build this for myself?”

Almost everyone who wants to build their own Pirate Eddie Bot gets stuck in the same place.

When the work stops being conceptual and becomes technical.

You’ve read the mini-books. You can see the bot in your head. You know what you want it to do.

Then the real questions hit:

• Which files actually go in, and what format should they be in?

• What breaks when someone asks a weird question?

• Do I even have the time to figure this out?

Then you stall because turning ideas into a working system is a different skill entirely.

In 2025, we published Identity At Scale: How We Built The Pirate Eddie Bot, And How To Create Your Own.

In this mini-book, we shared a step-by-step look at how we built the Pirate Eddie Bot—and how anyone could build their own version using Delphi.

It became one of our top-performing mini-books and laid out the full instructions.

And still, to this day, one question shows up more than any other: “How do I actually build my own Pirate Eddie Bot?”

That question exists for one reason:

Jack Bigbee.

Pirate Jack is the Native Digital who built the Pirate Eddie Bot—and helped us build Lucy. He’s the person who translated our thinking, archives, and constraints into a working Delphi system.

He has been almost entirely exclusive to Category Pirates. He hasn’t taken on outside clients. He hasn’t taught this publicly.

Until now.

For the first time ever, we’re hosting an AMA with Jack.

(Keep reading to get access.)

If you’ve spent your career being radically generous with your thinking, this is for you.

If you’ve ever wished your ideas could work harder—without you working more—this is for you.

And if you’ve read Identity At Scale and thought, “Okay, now what?”—this is it.

In this live jam session, you can:

• ask Jack real questions about building a Delphi bot

• walk through the technical steps that actually matter

• understand where people get stuck—and why

You bring your questions.

Jack brings the experience of actually building these systems in the wild.

Together, we’ll jam on what it actually takes to turn your thinking into a working digital self.

This is where the playbook meets reality. Where the abstractions break. And where you leave knowing what to do next.

(If working with Jack has ever been on your mind, this AMA is the first step.)
