Practical notes on using AI at work.
How we onboarded a team to Codex
The useful part of Codex onboarding is not showing people a chat box. It is turning repeated work into shared, reviewable workflows.
The rise of embedded AI roles
Stripe is not hiring another AI trainer. It is hiring embedded operators to change how marketing teams work.
Start with workflows, not AI tools
The fastest way to make AI useful at work is to look at what you already do every week, then pick the smallest tool that fits.
What not to paste into AI tools
Treat the prompt box like a shared surface. If you would not put it in a generic web form, do not paste it into a public model without safeguards.
AI clarity session or build-with-me session?
If you cannot yet name the work, start with clarity. If you can point at the artefact and the friction, start with building.
How small teams should start with AI
Teams win when language, norms, and one visible success line up. Before procurement adds another dozen seats.
How to build a defensively scoped proposal agent
The true value of AI in a sales process is not speed or persuasion. It is commercial safety.

Tech giants are selling heavy, complex infrastructure, while business operators just need simple, reliable workflows.
