Install the defaultsAI-native companies run on.
The teams pulling ahead are changing how decisions get made, how code ships, what leaders inspect, and what work stops existing. We bring the operating experience and engineering depth to make that change real.
Your best builders are already moving faster.The company around them usually is not.
We help turn isolated wins into repeatable company muscle.
Workflows
Define what work agents do, what work humans keep, and where review lives across functions.
System readiness
Ensure the shared context, docs, permissions, data, and feedback loops agents need to work safely.
Rituals
How work gets prioritized, planned, and reviewed. Remove what was created for a different speed of work.
Roles
Redefine roles and responsibilities when anyone can build. Uplevel your best builders and remove the friction they face.
Metrics
Measure how AI adoption changes the company. Hold yourself accountable to new standards of velocity and quality.
Leadership skills
How execs inspect the work, model the new behavior, and reinforce the pattern across the company.
Builder teams are often the wedge.
We work across the company, but our deepest expertise is engineering, product, and design. We love to partner with senior engineers who can make AI a reality for the whole team. We go beyond the hype to repo readiness, CI/CD speed, model + harness optimization, and the explicit contract between humans and AI.

“We need people on the edge, on the bleeding edge. I'm thrilled.
I think actually this has changed management more than anything else.
A genuinely high-signal program from Claire and Zack. Well done! Clear frameworks, strong faculty, sharp peer group, and — most importantly — practical enough that I walked out with a plan for how to accelerate AI transformation in my org. Rare to find an exec course that respects your time and assumes you're already past the 101. Highly recommended.
We've been in your seat.
CXO.dev is led by Claire Vo: 3x CPTO, founder of ChatPRD, and host of How I AI. Claire knows what it's like to run (and transform) a large software company. Now she builds with AI every day, and wants to help you do the same.
Our team is built from senior operators with the strategic experience and technical depth to actually change how you work, not just talk about it.
Let's connect.
We're here to help. Share the shape of the company, where AI is working, and where the system is stuck. We'll get you where you need to go.
