Architecting Production AI Agents That Don't Break
The gap between an agent demo and a production agent is enormous. Here's the architecture that closes it: planning, typed tools, memory, and guardrails.
Hard-won lessons on agents, retrieval, evaluation, and the unglamorous engineering that makes AI reliable.
The gap between an agent demo and a production agent is enormous. Here's the architecture that closes it: planning, typed tools, memory, and guardrails.
Naive RAG — embed, retrieve top-k, stuff into a prompt — fails the moment it meets a real corpus. Here's what production retrieval requires.
More agents doesn't mean more capability — it usually means more ways to fail. Coordination patterns that keep multi-agent systems coherent.
AI is not a replacement for deterministic automation — it's a complement. Knowing which is which is the difference between reliable and brittle.
Three ways to adapt an LLM to your domain, each with a different cost-quality profile. A practical framework for choosing.
A model that works in a notebook is a hypothesis. MLOps is the discipline that turns hypotheses into systems you can depend on.
Vision models that ace benchmarks often stumble in the real world. What it takes to make computer vision reliable under real conditions.
If you can't measure your LLM application's quality, you can't improve it. Building evaluation into the core of your development loop.
Trust is the real adoption barrier for enterprise AI. The engineering practices that make AI systems auditable, safe, and dependable.
Inference cost can quietly become the line item that kills an AI product. The levers that keep it under control without sacrificing quality.
Bring us a problem. We'll tell you honestly whether AI is the right tool — and exactly how we'd build it.
