AI Codex
The practitioner's guide to deploying AI.
Anthropic’s courses teach you the product. This covers the job around it — what breaks in month six, how to defend the spend, when to pick something else, and what Forward Deployed Engineers and AI Agent Managers actually get hired to do.
Where do you want to start?
Rolling out Claude at your company?
Team or Enterprise, what the admin controls actually give you, the usage policy, and getting it through security. The decisions in the order you have to make them.
Using Claude at work?
What is safe to paste in, better prompting, and the workflows that survive past week three — the habits that separate people who get consistent value from Claude from those who don't.
Building with Claude?
From your first API call to production deployment. Or from a product idea to real users — two paths depending on whether you're a developer or a founder.
Going into companies to build it?
Forward Deployed Engineers get hired to build AI systems inside someone else's company. What the role is, the portfolio that gets you interviews, and the three parts of an engagement nobody writes down.
Not sure which one fits you?

What is an AI Agent Manager?
Aaron Levie predicts 500,000 to 1 million companies will hire someone to own their AI agents internally. Most already have this person — they're just still arguing over whether to call them an AI Agent Manager, AI Ops Manager, or Agent Operator.

Claude's June 15 billing change — cancelled before it took effect
Anthropic planned to move programmatic usage (Agent SDK, `claude -p`, Code GitHub Actions, third-party agent apps) off subscription limits and onto a separate metered credit on June 15, 2026. On June 15, it cancelled the change. Nothing changes for now: those surfaces still draw from your Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise limits exactly as before. Here's the full story, why it matters, and what to watch for next.

Dynamic Workflows in Claude Code: when Claude orchestrates its own agent swarm
Shipped with Opus 4.8 as a research preview, Dynamic Workflows let Claude write a multi-step plan and fan it out across tens to hundreds of subagents running in the background. It's built for work one context window can't hold — codebase-wide migrations, sweeping audits. Here's what it is, how it differs from sub-agents and Agent Teams, and when it's worth the token bill.

Claude Opus 4.8: what's new, and why migration is easy this time
Anthropic's new flagship launched May 28, 2026. Pricing is unchanged at $5/$25. Effort now defaults to high, fast mode is 3x cheaper, and a 1M context window ships by default. Unlike the 4.6→4.7 jump, there are no new breaking changes — moving from Opus 4.7 is a model-name swap.
