Agentic Workflows Club / Meetup #2
Learn Enough
Codex
To Be Dangerous
Codex is useful when you can describe the work, let it inspect the project, then review the output with a clear eye.
This two-hour session uses that loop for two practical builds: a branded public report and a financial model for fundraising opportunities.
What you'll walk away with
- Hands-on Codex experience with agentic desktop workflows. Not just watching, doing.
- A public report workflow for turning source material into a branded report your team can share externally.
- A fundraising model workflow for researching, collating, and ranking funding opportunities in one usable model.
- Review habits for keeping Codex work accountable through source checks, version history, and human signoff.

Anyone evaluating, funding, or deploying AI tools.
What to bring
Computer
With Codex desktop app installed. You'll be working hands-on.
OpenAI subscription
