Descriptions:
Web Dev Cody documents the live development of a tool he calls Automaker — a project management interface built on top of Claude Code that orchestrates multiple AI coding agents in parallel across several active projects. The video is simultaneously a product demo and a real-time development session, since Cody uses Automaker itself to add new features to Automaker throughout the recording.
The core architecture is a Kanban-style board where each card represents a coding task. Moving a card to “in progress” triggers a Claude Code agent session that attempts to implement the feature, then automatically runs Playwright end-to-end tests to verify the result before marking it complete. Cody reports that this test-gated loop produces one-shot success on the majority of features without manual follow-up. An auto mode processes the entire backlog sequentially — designed to run overnight or while away — with a configurable concurrency slider for parallel agent execution.
The video captures several live interactions: adding keyboard shortcuts for faster navigation, fixing a critical scoping bug where switching projects was clearing the feature list of the previously open project, and iterating on the UI modal behavior. Cody is transparent about encountering real bugs and shows how he prompts Claude Code to investigate root causes rather than apply surface patches. Built in roughly one day using Claude Code with the Opus 4.5 model, Automaker is available as a private repository to students enrolled in Cody’s Agentic Jumpstart course at agenticjumpstart.com.
