Diffusing AI into Real-World Services Businesses

AI adoption in services requires moving beyond demos to 'co-designing' technology with operators. By acquiring businesses and embedding AI directly into their workflows, builders can create real-world evals, close the feedback loop, and earn the right to move from co-pilots to autonomous co-workers.

The Agentic Commerce Stack: Building Reliable AI Shopping

Agentic commerce is shifting from brittle browser-automation to standardized protocols like ACP and UCP. To build reliable shopping agents, developers must move away from DOM-scraping toward structured product feeds, standardized tool access (MCP), and rigorous behavioral evals to prevent production failures.

4 Common Loop Engineering Failures and How to Fix Them

Loop engineering automates repetitive tasks by setting goals and retrying, but it often fails due to runaway costs, confirmation bias, vague objectives, or excessive complexity. Success requires strict stop rules, external evaluation, concrete metrics, and transitioning to graph-based architectures for complex workflows.

Building Agentic Platforms: The Potter's Workshop Approach

Safia Abdalla argues that AI agent platforms should abstract infrastructure complexity, provide consistent multi-harness support, and act as 'potter's workshops'—structured, observable systems that empower humans to ship software rather than just automating code production.

Building an Agent Kernel: Why Frameworks Fall Short

Instead of using complex agent frameworks, build a simple 'kernel' that treats agents as isolated processes. Use content-addressed prompts, event-driven architecture, and strict type boundaries to ensure reliability and auditability.
