How I’m Coding in 2026 (The Super-App Strategy)
After spending 3+ hours testing Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Manus, and others...I'm only recommending two. Here's why, plus a 6-step plan to set up your AI agent the right way.
In this video, I covered:
• Why Claude Desktop, Codex, and Manus all look identical
• The two real advantages that matter: models vs integrations
• Who has the model advantage (and who's faking it)
• Why Manus is a sleeper pick (Meta acquisition explained)
• How to build an always-on AI agent with remote control
• The 6-step action plan for getting AI to actually do your work
