Want better AI results? 

The answer isn't to prompt better. 

(At least, not anymore.) 

As AI has changed drastically, so too must your company's strategy and implementation plan. 

Section's Bobby Isaacson joins Everyday AI to lay out the roadmap: helping guide organizations from running like hamsters on the AI treadmill to actually redefining workflows toward agentic automation.

Every wish on your AI wish list? 🧞‍♂️

It's already here in OpenAI's Codex. 

While the masses are months behind just now discovering Claude Cowork, there's a new wave taking over in Codex. 

Bad part? It has the word 'code' in the name, so most people assume they're not technical enough. 

Good news? If you can use ChatGPT, you can use Codex. (It's pretty much the same thing.) 

We already broke down the Codex basics in Part 1 of our AI at Work on Wednesday series, so we're doubling down on the Codex classroom in part 2. 

We'll tackle Skills, Plugins, Computer Use, Remote Control and more. 

But the big takeaway? Codex can probably already do most of the work you do in front of a computer. We'll show you how.

The most expensive AI mistake of 2026 won't show up on any invoice. 💸

It'll show up two years from now when you can't get your data out, your competitors are eating your lunch, or your team is stuck maintaining software no one actually wanted to build.

Because in 2026, AI isn't one decision anymore.

It's four.

The model. The workflows. Your data. Your business software.

Each layer has its own build, buy, partner, or wait choice.

And most companies are making all four without realizing it.

Today on Everyday AI, we're breaking down the framework that puts those choices back in your hands.
