1) Paying for both OpenAI's + Anthropic's $200/mo plans 2) no 3) Codex + Claude Code (I'm a sucker for GUIs) 4) I sort of hack together a swarm in Codex+ClaudeCode, then use a separate tool I built for a collaboration layer 5) OpenClaw but mostly retired it

Also indispensable for me is Workspace which lets me manage larger projects, databases, markdown files, etc.. (https://www.brianhirsh.com/workspace) it's an offline Notion (like obsidian but better databses + UI), so it's incredibly fast to work with multiple agents there.

Since I typically have 15-20 chats and additional subagents going, having a place for them to organize work for me to check + a tool for managing documents is relly helpful. Before I felt like I was drowning in app-siloed artifacts and 'wait which chat was that in' issues.
