Has anyone tried both the Codex and Claude Code $20 plans? Is there a clear usage difference between them? I don’t want to upgrade my plan just yet, but I’m looking to get the most bang for my buck out there. I’m currently on CC Pro, but I’ve been considering switching to the Codex Plus plan after hearing that it provides more overall usage? Is that true? And is the extra usage worth the switch?

The setup: small office (think 3–4 people, mixed technical ability). One person (lets say me but its for client ) has the power-user seat — Claude Code, all the skills, the full context. The others need to feed information in and benefit from the skills, but they're not going to live in a terminal. Where I've landed so far — call it "one brain, many feeders": • A shared brain (Drive folder) holds context, intake, and output • I sit in "mission control" with the one Claude Code seat and run the skills • Everyone else just drops structured files into intake folders — no terminal, no setup • Claude validates, organizes, drafts, flags what's missing — a human does the final publish/send Two principles that keep proving themselves: 1. Force the data + its context to arrive together (one folder per item, a fill-in template beside each file). Orphaned data is what kills these pipelines. 2. Automate the 95%, keep a human on the last 5%. What I'm chewing on: • Is per-person seats actually better than one operator + feeders? When does it flip? • Where should the shared brain live — Drive, repo, DB, something else? • How do you get non-technical teammates to feed it *consistently*? If you've built something like this — what's your stack and what did you learn the hard way? Genuinely want to hear implementations, not just theory.

In this video I show you how I turned Claude Opus 4.8 into my full AI operating system that runs my businesses, holds all my context, and replaces the constant tab switching between apps. I walk through the Four C's I use to build it (context, connections, capabilities, cadence), the mindset shift of working out of Claude Code by default, how I organize files and skills, and the bike method for safely giving agents more autonomy. By the end you'll know exactly how to set up your own AI OS and the trap to avoid when you start handing it real keys. GITHUB REPO

Been pushing hard to hit Level 3 so I can finally access the locked AI Operating System video. The idea of having a full personal AIOS — one system that handles routing, memory, tasks, and execution — is exactly why I joined this community. But here's the question I keep coming back to: Does the Level 3 video actually give you a full, production-ready framework you can build on? Or is it more of a high-level overview that points you in the right direction? For those who've already unlocked it — did it cover the real technical depth (prompting structure, routing logic, tool setup, memory handling)? Or did it leave you with more questions than answers? Not trying to gatekeep the grind — leveling up is part of the process and I'm here for it. Just want to know if I should be supplementing with other resources while working toward it, or if the video is genuinely the blueprint. Would love to hear from people who've been through it.

I build digital things, chase ideas, and usually have a few too many projects open at the same time. I run a small digital/AI agency where I create custom web apps, mobile apps, and tools for clients. Lately I’ve been deep in the AI automation world, building my own personal AI agent, experimenting with Claude workflows, and trying to find practical ways to bring automation into the things I make. My favorite “clients” are still my kids 😅 They are definitely unpaid, but they are also my toughest product team. Because of them, I’m now building apps around the most important things in life: breakdancing, math, and words 🕺🔢🔤 Their main product requirement is simple: “Make it fun or I’m not using it.” Honestly, it’s the hardest brief I’ve ever had. I’m here to learn, share what I’m figuring out, meet interesting people, and hopefully make some real friends along the way. 💛
