AUTOMATION

Codex automations are useful when recurring engineering work has clear inputs, reviewable outputs, and safe boundaries. Here is the practical playbook.

OpenAI is turning Codex from a coding assistant into a broader agent workspace for files, apps, browser QA, images, automations, and repeatable knowledge work.

Boris Cherny's loop-heavy Claude Code workflow points at the next Codex content lane: recurring agents that babysit PRs, CI, deploys, and feedback streams.

Modern browser automation from Microsoft. Auto-wait, role-based selectors, cross-browser, fast in CI.

Self-healing browser automation harness that lets LLMs complete any browser task. 5,000+ stars in under a week.

Event-driven automation with 20+ lifecycle events.

Install Ollama and LM Studio, pull your first model, and run AI locally for coding, chat, and automation - with zero cloud dependency.

Hooks give you deterministic control over Claude Code. Auto-format on save, block dangerous commands, run tests before commits, fire desktop notifications. Here's how to set them up.

Claude Code now has a native Loop feature for scheduling recurring prompts - from one-minute intervals to three-day windows. Fix builds on repeat, summarize Slack channels, email yourself Hacker News digests. All from the CLI.

Anthropic dropped a batch of updates across Claude Code and Cowork - remote control from your phone, scheduled tasks, plugin repos, auto memory, and stats showing 4% of GitHub public commits now come from Claude Code.

Claude Opus 4.5 ran autonomously for 4 hours 49 minutes using stop hooks and the Ralph Loop pattern. Walk away, come back to completed work. Here's how it works.
