Deep, evergreen guides to the five AI tools the WholeTech network actually uses — Claude, OpenAI Codex, Google Gemini, xAI's Grok, and Hermes. No hype, no jargon: how each one works, what it's best at, and how they fit together.
Each section is a full mirror of its standalone subdomain, kept in one place so the comparisons are obvious and the navigation is one click.
A complete, plain-language guide to Claude and the wider Anthropic toolkit — products, design workflow, integrations, and machine builds. The most-used model on the WholeTech network.
An end-to-end guide to OpenAI Codex — the CLI, the IDE extension, the cloud, GitHub @codex, AGENTS.md, approval modes, prompting, and the workflows that actually pay off.
The practical guide to Google's AI stack — the Gemini app, AI Studio, Gemini API, Workspace, Android, Search, model choices, workflows, and how Gemini fits beside Claude, Codex, and Hermes.
The end-to-end guide to xAI's Grok and the platform formerly known as Twitter — the models (Grok 4, 4 Heavy, mini, Aurora, Imagine), every surface, every plan, the timeline algorithm, and how to actually win on X.
The orchestration harness around Claude, Codex, Gemini, local tools, website work, deployments, sessions, and repeatable agent workflows. The connective tissue of the network.
Once you've picked a model above, the next question is "how do I run this on the machine in front of me." The OS guides answer that — six clean steps per device, plus a deep analysis page for each.
Plain-language setup guides for Windows, Mac, Linux, Synology, Android, iOS, Proxmox, and Cloud — plus a critical analysis page for each (including the optional editor route via VS Code), a four-layer tool map, and a one-page cheat sheet of every install command.
claude.wholetech.com, codex.wholetech.com, gemini.wholetech.com, grok.wholetech.com, hermes.wholetech.com, and os.wholetech.com. Those still work; this hub is the single front door so all six can be browsed together. If you came in from a subdomain bookmark, the path under here is the same.
