I sat down with my co-founder Jonathan for our weekly AI clarity breakdown. We get into the Manus $2B context engineering playbook and the 6 principles behind their production agent, why AI native companies need to be built from the ground up (not bolted on), Anthropic hitting $30B and teaming up with Cloudflare on managed agent infrastructure, and the Claude Opus 4.8 drop (including the Deep SWE benchmark showing Claude was literally cheating on tests.)
What's the meta this week: Microsoft Web Right for end to end browser testing, why HTML is replacing markdown for spec documents, and how an OpenAI PM ships a feature from PRD to production in one week with zero engineer involvement.
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.
