How We Built a 30-Action AI Agent Platform in 6 Months
The complete architecture of a production AI agent platform: intent classification, graph-based routing, multi-model consensus, and an approval queue. Real numbers from 6 months in production.

LLM Observability: Monitoring AI Agents in Production
AI agents fail silently — wrong answers return HTTP 200. The metrics, traces, and weekly review loop we use to monitor LLM systems running 500+ actions a week.

Structured Outputs: Making LLM Responses Production-Safe
Free-text LLM output cannot drive software. How schemas, validation layers, and typed UI cards turn model responses into data your system can safely act on.

Tool Use and Function Calling: How AI Agents Touch Real Systems
Function calling is easy to demo and hard to productionize. How we design tool layers for AI agents across 9 connected systems: schemas, idempotency, permissions.

RAG in Production: What Breaks After the Demo
A RAG demo takes a weekend. Production takes months. The six failure modes we hit running RAG over 9 live business systems — and the fixes that held.

Confidence Scoring: The Most Underrated Feature in LLM Systems
A calibrated confidence score changes what an AI system is allowed to do. How we tier behavior by confidence and keep the numbers honest in production.

Anti-Patterns: Teaching AI Agents What NOT to Do
Positive examples teach an agent what to match. Negative examples teach it what to leave alone. Why anti-patterns cut false positives more than any prompt fix.

Graph Routing vs Prompt Chains: Building Deterministic AI Agents
Prompt chains are easy to start and impossible to debug. Graph-based routing makes agent behavior deterministic, testable, and safe to change. A comparison.

Intent Classification with LLMs: Sub-200ms Routing for AI Agents
How to route user requests to the right AI action in under 200ms using embeddings, confidence tiers, and a small classifier — without burning a full LLM call.

Shadow Mode: The Safest Way to Deploy an AI Agent
Shadow mode lets an AI agent run silently alongside humans before it acts on anything. How we validate agents in production without production risk.
