AI Codex
The practitioner's guide to deploying AI.
Forward Deployed Engineers build AI systems inside companies. AI Agent Managers run them. Both roles are exploding — and neither has a good free resource yet. This is it.
Where do you want to start?
Deploying AI for companies?
Two roles are defining enterprise AI right now. AI Agent Managers run AI systems inside their own company. Forward Deployed Engineers build them for clients. Full learning paths for both.
Using Claude at work?
Better prompting, workflows that stick, and 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.
Rolling out to your team?
Whether you're a team lead doing a department rollout or IT handling org-wide deployment — structured paths with the decisions you need to make, in order.
Not sure which one fits you?
Answer 2 questions and we'll point you to the right path.

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.

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.
