Founder and CEO, Oxagen Inc. · Los Angeles, California

Oxagen is workforce management for autonomous agents: give each agent an identity, set its authority and budget, equip it with tools and skills, and review what it did and what its operators spent, through a shared agent control plane. Oxagen does not run agents. It decides what the agents you run may do for the actions routed through it, hands them what they need, and keeps the record.

Mac has built coding agents since the first release of OpenAI's Codex. The first thirteen parts of this book come from that work and from the published research it cites. The operating parts come from a later lesson: once agents work, the questions change from how well they code to who answers for them.
