Agent Native

The Biggest News this week in AI Agents: Codex iMessage Control, GrokBot's Rise, Claude Cowork on Mobile, Slack Code And more

In this week's Agent Native update, I'm genuinely excited about how fast the agent ecosystem is moving, from Codex's new iMessage integration that can analyze thousands of texts to GrokBot's rise as the easiest-to-use super app, even if Grok's model still lags behind GPT and Claude. Comparing the big three platforms, I see GrokBot winning on ease of use, ChatGPT/Codex on its browser and iOS experience, and Claude on knowledge work and documents. I'm also encouraged by Anthropic merging Claude Design into Claude Code and bringing Cowork to mobile, plus Slack Code turning agent-driven building into a collaborative, multiplayer experience. Overall, I think we're transitioning from personal agents to teams of agents, and eventually many humans working with many agents together, which is really exciting.

How do you build an agent that a 1000 person company can use internally?

That's what i discuss today with @rauchg.

As well as:

- How to get started building agents?

- Do we build a team of agents or one GOD agent?

- OpenClaw, and the movement it started.

- Hard parts of creating agents

- Agents that delegate to other agents with different permissions and computer access

Cursor is a tool that lets you talk to an AI agent that builds apps for you.

No programming experience needed — just a computer and internet access.

In this video we build 3 real projects: a landing page, a full native iOS app, and an automated research site... all just by prompting.

Subscribe to Vinny https://youtube.com/@stealtime?si=khW3yG-ovHdjYAtY

Buzz is a new free platform, that feels exactly like Slack,

except the agents aren't add ons, they are equals.

and in 5 minutes you can create an agent team.

And it works with your existing Codex and Claude Code subscriptions... So it's free to use.

51:50 My management Channel (My #1 use case)

OpenAI just merged ChatGPT and Codex, released GPT-5.6, and gave nearly a billion people access to an AI that can actually do work.

In this episode, I sit down with Ras Mic to break down what this means, why every company should be building agent-native software, and the Codex workflows we’re using right now. We cover computer use, agent loops, automations, multiple threads, the tools that make agents more powerful, and how Codex compares to Claude Code and Fable 5. T

his is the beginning of an entirely new way of using computers—and most people still have no idea what’s possible.

In this video, Muhammad and I:

-test out Anthropic's new Claude 4.5 Sonnet model and its new interface

-we compare Claude and Codex,

-test out the new model by creating a browser based face filter app using Snapchat's face filters as an example

-we also built a fun donut visualizer inspired by Lex Friedmans donut video from 5 years ago

If you're interested in trying out this model uninterrupted and without needing to set up a technical environment, I can't recommend trying out https://sandbox.dev/home enough

and if you haven't had a chance to try it out yet, and have ideas for an iPhone app but no technical knowledge, i'd highly recommend trying out my app Vibecode: https://vibecode.go.link/lIlvc

AND to get you started with all of this, I'll send you a free guide through the link below.
