Description
Tuesday’s show centered on OpenAI Codex and the broader shift from single-agent assistance to managing teams of AI agents. The discussion compared Codex and Claude Code in practice, explored where UI and orchestration actually matter, and then widened into agent behavior, anthropomorphism risks, CRM re-architecture, and what “AI-first” software really looks like when you try to deploy it inside real organizations.
