A walk through a real autonomous delivery pipeline: transcript to PRD to working code, with budget kill switches and a human on the merge button.
When to buy off-the-shelf AI and when to build custom agents — 2026 cost realities, the 80% trap, a 3-question scorecard, and what a 4-week pilot looks like.
What MCP changes for enterprise AI: why tool standardization beats one-off integrations, where security boundaries belong, and a 2-week pilot plan.
Million-token context windows are here, and stuffing them is still a mistake. Lessons from production agents on retrieval, memory, and compaction.
Field-test lessons from building a no-app AR history tour: QR and GPS triggers, Scene Viewer intent URLs, a 40MB-to-21MB model diet, and one COOP/COEP trap.
Realtime voice and vision APIs changed the interface contract. Latency budgets, privacy design, and the business workflows that light up first.
Chatbots can't see what you're stuck on. I shipped VIP, a voice-and-vision Chrome extension, and learned why the browser is where AI help belongs.
LLM demos are easy. Dependable delivery needs a harness: deterministic orchestration, budget caps, verification agents, and human gates. What to ask vendors.
Twelve AI agents, 236 Puppeteer tests, a full-stack Next.js app, zero human coding. What broke, what held, and what I'd change in the harness.
Lessons from running Spark AI: 46 models behind one interface, a weekly-audited model registry, and why assistant builders beat chat windows.
Nine agents, three tiers, 247 cross-checked facts about one Irish village. Why the verification agents — not the writers — do the real work.
How I turned one phone photo into eight AI trading card styles with Gemini Flash, and why free-tier infrastructure math is a real startup advantage.
Twelve iterations of natural-language-to-Cypher over a 174M-node Neo4j graph. What broke, what fixed it, and when graphs beat vector RAG.
Why speech coaching has to land inside a 200ms window — latency budgets, invisible overlay UX, emotion AI, and the design behind Verbal Victory.
