In this episode

I sat down with Jonathan for our weekly AI clarity breakdown. Anthropic dropped their most powerful model free for 13 days, we stress tested it on a live production cutover the same day. OpenAI turned Codex into an OS for office workers with Sites and role specific plugins. Google killed Gemini CLI after accepting 6,000+ community PRs. Windsurf renamed itself to Devin overnight.

What's the meta: harness engineering. Agent = model + harness. We break down spec-driven development with HTML, design systems as a living file in your codebase, and how I go from a Granola transcript to a signed SOW in 15 minutes with Claude Code.

If you're building with agents right now, this one's for you.

Hosted by Robert Ta and Jonathan McCoy, co-founders of Clarity, reporting from the front lines of building an AI company.

Every week

AI clarity for founders, builders and tech executives. News with real takes, the memes that made us laugh, and the tactical meta we are testing on ourselves.
