A bit on why I keep building here; for anyone wondering whether Superhuman Coda has a place in an AI-first world. Most of the AI conversation right now is dominated by a real and reasonable fear: hallucination and non-determinism. Can you trust a system that might invent a fact, or behave differently each time you run it, to actually run your business? That’s the right question to ask — and I don’t think the answer is to keep AI at arm’s length. It is to orchestrate AI so it reliably achieves a business goal: not a clever demo, but a process a manager can trust day after day. That problem has two halves, and Superhuman Coda happens to be unusually good at both: - Deterministic work belongs in formulas. CFL, buttons, and automations give you reliable, auditable, repeatable execution — the same result every time, with nothing invented — for everything that doesn’t need judgment. - Judgment belongs in inference. Native AI blocks let you place a focused model call exactly where reasoning is genuinely required — and nowhere else, so the unpredictable part stays small and reviewable. And the Superhuman Go AI engine is excellent at taking a specification of the business workflow we want to automate and generating the Tables, Formulas, and AI prompts to implement it! Most of my experiments, a set of docs I called AgentixGo (see here) are really just probes into one question: where is the optimal line between the formula and the inference? Coda lets me move that line freely without ever leaving the document. I don’t know another platform where deterministic logic and AI judgment sit this close together, in a tool a business manager can actually read. Notion has recently launched their “Custom Agents” feature that goes part of the way along this path. But it falls short, and let’s face it; the Notion formula language, and their database model, are way inferior to Coda, and not quite fit for purpose in serious process automations.

Due to a family illnes, I must postpone the Workshop today. I will record the material offline and post it to Skool by the end of the week. Apologies. Max

I created this Skool Community for Business Managers, Spreadsheet Whiz-kids, and Nocode Makers who (like me) want to learn how to use AI AGENTS to automate Business Process Workflows. Over the rest of this month (December 2025) I will be posting tutorials on what I have learned. Having delivered several AI Agentic Workflow automations to my clients over the last 2 years, I have gathered all I learned into a Step-By-Step Framework for creating AI Agents with no programming. I have taught this AI Framework to several clients who had no IT background at all, and they went on to deliver AI Agentic Workflows to their business teams that generated amazing ROI and performance improvements. The key skills that are needed for this are: 1. Business Process Management - how to create and deploy SOPs (Standard Operating Processes) 2. Automate those SOPs using Spreadsheets and/or No-Code tools (Notion, Airtable, Coda, Power-Apps) 3. Gather and curate the Knowledge Docs needed to train people and AI Agents to execute the SOPs 4. Build and deploy AI Agents within those workflows using only Spreadsheet/No-Code formulas Please introduce yourself here to the group. Respect Max O'Brien
