This week on Built This Week we sit down with Emanuele Melis, who leads Field Engineering at AI One, to demo how enterprises are deploying AI agents right now without needing a massive data transformation first. We also go deep on Claude 4 Fable — first impressions, token spend chaos, the '100x the design' prompt, and what the Jevons paradox means for AI consumption.

We cover:

Emmanuel builds a physics puzzle game from memory using Claude in 10 minutes
Jordan's first 36 hours with Claude 4 Fable — slow, expensive, and world class
What happens when you type '100x the design' into Fable
Why nobody knows how many tokens they are burning and why that needs to change
What AI One and Context One actually do for enterprise
The autonomous ladder — how to deploy agents safely without giving them full control
The sweet spot for AI agents: high complexity, low judgment work
How a financial firm cut a week-long investigation down to hours using agents
Why 150,000 brittle rules are being replaced by a single agent
Making custom coloring books for kids with AI every day
Jevons paradox — cheaper tokens, more consumption, no ceiling
A PM had Claude Code listen to a live engineering meeting and build in real time
SpaceX IPO — the bull case, the wait and see case, and who is right

If you are building with AI, deploying agents in enterprise, or just want an honest take on Claude 4 Fable, this episode is for you.
