AI details

Practical AI implementation and automation

The model is one component. Useful business AI also needs permissions, data, tools, monitoring and a definition of success.

Workflow selection

Good AI projects begin with a process that is repetitive, information-heavy or slow enough that improvement can be measured.

  • Current process mapping
  • Time/cost estimate
  • Data sources
  • Human approval points
  • Risk review
  • Success criteria

System design

The implementation may use one model or several, depending on the task.

  • Model/API selection
  • Retrieval and search
  • Tool access
  • Queues and scheduled work
  • Structured outputs
  • Logs and retries
  • Human approval

Operational safety

Agents should not receive more authority than the job requires.

  • Least privilege
  • Approved tools
  • Secret isolation
  • Rate limits
  • Auditability
  • Failure handling
  • Manual override

Web standards, code and frameworks

We are not locked to a single framework. Straightforward sites should stay straightforward; applications can use deeper stacks when justified.
