Building and Evaluating Agents: A Production Engineer's Playbook

Most LLM agent demos die in production because teams skip the boring parts: tool contracts, eval harnesses, and observability. This post walks through the architecture, patterns, and evaluation loops that turn a clever prototype into a system you can actually operate.

Agentic AI in Production: How Autonomous Agents Are Rewiring the Stack

Agentic AI is the shift from one-shot prompting to autonomous loops that plan, call tools, observe results, and recover from failure. This guide walks through the core loop, the production patterns, and the infrastructure that makes agents viable at scale.
