Notes from the work
Short, practical pieces on AI automation, where AI pays off, building with Claude, and turning prototypes into products. Written by the people who do the work.
What an AI harness is, and why it decides what the model can do
The model is a brain in a jar. Everything it does in your business, reading files, taking actions, checking its own work, stopping when it should, comes from the harness around it. Here is what a harness is made of and why the same model behaves so differently in two of them.
Read →The overhang: what AI can already do versus what your firm uses it for
Three ideas from a recent OpenAI note on where AI is heading, read from the seat of a firm deciding what to do this quarter: the overhang between capability and use, spiky skills, and systems that work for hours without a person. And what each one changes about the first system you build.
Read →Why most AI pilots die after the demo, and the two things that keep them alive
The demo goes well. Six weeks later nobody is using it. The failure is almost never the model. It is two decisions that should have been made before the build.
Read →Where AI pays off first in a professional services firm
Law firms, accountants, recruiters and advisors run on the same four kinds of work. Three are worth automating now, and the order matters more than the tools.
Read →What an AI automation agency actually does
The phrase covers everything from a chatbot widget to a full operations rebuild. Here is what the work is, what it is not, and how to tell them apart.
Read →From a Lovable prototype to a product that passes diligence
The prototype got you customers and a term sheet. Now it breaks weekly and a reviewer is coming. Here is the rebuild that works, and the one that does not.
Read →Claude or ChatGPT for business automation: how we choose
We build on both. The choice is rarely about which model is smarter. It is about documents, instructions, tools, data handling and where the model can run.
