You already use AI. It drafts, it summarises, it answers. But it is still a chat window you have to sit in front of and babysit.
Claude Code and Codex work directly on a folder of your files. You control what the AI knows, what it remembers between sessions, and what it sees for each task. That's the core skill of using AI for knowledge work, whether you're automating a weekly report or working through a strategy question over several weeks.
In this session, we show you how to create the structure to turn AI from your intern, to your 24/7 assistant that works while you sleep. You'll set up a real piece of your own work and learn to:
Organise sources, instructions and notes so each session picks up where the last one ended
Hand large reading and review jobs to subagents
Break complex questions into steps you can check
Turn repeated processes into skills that run the same way every time
What we'll cover
Structuring work so an agent can do it — why the chat window caps out, and what replaces it
Skills — packaging a capability once so you stop re-explaining it every time
Subagents — splitting a job so parts of it run in parallel
Loops — running work until it's actually finished, and recognising when a loop is quietly failing
Knowing what not to automate — the judgment call that separates useful systems from expensive ones
Build block — the back half of the session is you building your own workflow, with us on the floor
Who the speaker is
Brendan Beh is co-founder of AISEA, an AI Resident at 500 Southeast Asia, and a Codex Ambassador for OpenAI. He's spent the last two years running build sessions across the region — most recently Codex Build Week in Kuala Lumpur, where 150+ people spent three days turning their own work into working software, including senior operators from Malaysian institutions who had never written a line of code.
Before AISEA he worked in venture capital at Sunway Innovation Labs and Endeavor Malaysia, and read physics at Cambridge.
