Notes from the studio
What shipped, what worked, and what we'd do differently
We sell AI work, and a fair share of our advice is "don't use AI here." The three tests that separate agent jobs from script jobs, with examples from our own stack.
How our ventures ship features with three agents and a test gate: a dreamer that proposes, a groomer that ranks, and an implementer that must pass the same suite a human would.
Before any AI recommendation, we ask the same unglamorous questions about workflows, data, and approval authority. Here they are — use them without us.
Month by month: what actually happens when a contract PM embeds with your team for an ERP implementation, a systems integration, or a migration.
Our blog posts are drafted by agents and published by a human. A walk through the writers room, the line editor on a different model family, and why the approve button is not automated.
Studio X operates its own ventures on agent pipelines we call XOS. Here is what the agents actually do, what they are not allowed to do, and why we built it this way.
