Finally pulled the trigger today and signed up for Claude Pro, mainly to get access to Opus 4.6 — its complex-reasoning and code-review ability is genuinely stronger. My overall workflow has settled into something clearer now: split the work between Codex and Claude Code.
Codex handles the high-volume, batch code generation and implementation — the “get the feature written fast” part. Claude Code handles code review, logic auditing, and structural cleanup — the “catch the problems, protect the quality” part. One leans toward production, the other toward review — together they’re basically a small AI development pipeline.
On top of that, Gemini plugs into OpenClaw mainly through its API, handling tool calls and filling in extra capability. Day to day, I also lean on NotebookLM for organizing material and distilling knowledge, and use Nanobanana for drawing and visualization. Altogether it’s become a coding-review-knowledge-visualization workflow spread across several models working together.
