    Claude Opus 5.5: what to check before switching a production agent

    Opus 5.5 changes more than the model ID. Check thinking, tool choice, fallback conversations and computer use before moving an agent to production.

    Choose a first AI workflow by counting the work around it

    Before comparing AI tools, count the source preparation, review, handoff and recovery work around the demo. A five-question worksheet helps a small team choose a bounded first workflow.

    Audit the sources before you share an AI notebook

    A shared AI notebook can help a team explain a new service, prepare a proposal or hand over background research. It can also expose more material than the sender meant to show. Check the source list before sharing the link, not after a recipient asks a question about a document they were never meant to receive.
