Build with AI.
Practical methods for building useful software, automating work, and getting more leverage from modern AI tools.
I’m Owain Lewis. I help builders, creators, and technically savvy professionals use AI tools, coding agents, and automation to ship faster and do better work.
This newsletter is for
builders who want to create useful, interesting software with AI
people using coding agents like Claude Code and Codex
technically savvy professionals who want to use the latest AI tools to become more productive at work
software engineers who want deeper technical content on coding agents, architecture, workflows, and building AI systems
This is where I share practical methods for building with AI:
Codex and Claude Code workflows
how to build useful software with AI
AI automations that run real jobs
prompts, templates, and setup guides
breakdowns of new AI features worth testing
