A speaker outlines a workflow for creating a personal AI tool ecosystem, using Claude and other tools to generate UI mockups, flowcharts, and code, enhancing individual efficiency and code quality.
CJ Hess is a software engineer at Tenex who has built some of the most useful tools and workflows for being a real AI engineer. In this episode, CJ de...
The speaker outlines a personal workflow for building a set of AI-assisted tools, centered around the use of Claude for generating UI mockups and flowcharts through JSON files and Claude code. They emphasize Claude's ability to understand intent and be steerable, allowing for precise control over the design outputs. The process involves an iterative approach, starting with planning in Markdown, then using prompts to generate visual elements, which are refined with feedback before being translated into code. This method supports the creation of AI-native tools that can handle agentic loops and complex animations, ultimately increasing individual efficiency in design and development tasks.
In addition to design, the speaker uses Codex for code review, focusing on code alignment and refactoring suggestions to improve implementation quality. They express interest in AI-driven UI development, particularly in tools that allow for more creative and interactive environments, such as Google's Genie 3. The overall goal is to develop a flexible, personalized AI engineering workflow that integrates structured diagram creation with interactive design elements and code generation, streamlining the process of building complex applications.

9 Jun 2026 Claude Fable 5 review: what the new Mythos model gets right (and very wrong)
Anthropic's Claude Fable Five excels in long-term technical tasks with strong coding, vision, and async workflow capabilities but faces high token costs, design limitations, and restricted use in cybersecurity/biology, making it suitable for precise, extended projects rather than creative or agile workflows.
