You don't need funding or teams to make these types of tools anymore, they are all basically engineering as marketing for running agents in the cloud, or some other value add/funnel into something that could make money.

codex(or whatever they're calling the bundled desktop experience) = selling inference

claude code = selling inference

conductor = selling hosted agents

superlogical = selling... something

I recommend everyone build their own. It's fun, you'll learn a bit, and assuming you work as a software engineer the dogfooding is built in. I built ouijit as my own example of this: https://ouijit.com & https://github.com/ouijit/ouijit (note that I am not trying to make money, just free as in libre AND beer)
