Agentic Orchestration Overview

Knowing how to use AI tooling is only the beginning. Understanding how to orchestrate agents is where the value is. You can work faster and more efficiently by tightly managing your context windows.

In this premium video we'll spend 48 minutes and change walking through the various ways to build something with AI. I'll be using Claude Code, like I do, and I'll build out the same site in 5 different ways:

  • Full vibe coding, which I guess we're now calling "interactive mode". No orchestration at all, just letting it fly.
  • Using Claude's Agent Teams. We'll let Claude decide how best to build what we want, but we'll use constraints, including instructions, skills, and hooks.
  • Popular plugins, including Superpowers and Oh My Claude Code. These things are amazing, but how much control do we have here?
  • Using pi.dev, which is an open source agent harness that you control. No bloated system context or wondering whether a hook is going to go off!
  • Rolling our own. I made an orchestration tool for a client a few months ago, and I've been improving on it over time. You can see it right here! It's a lot of fun to play with, and I'll show you how it works below.

This video took a while to make, but I'm happy for that as Anthropic blew up my Claude Max plan as I was in the middle of recording the pi demo (you can't use your subscription with pi any more). It's a bummer, but it drives home the idea that it's critical to own your own tooling.

Or is it? You tell me! I hope you enjoy the video, and I'll have more soon.
