Imagine a company that gives three departments their own AI agents. Sales configures its agent to improve conversions and authorises it to offer selected concessions.

We are officially past the point where enterprise platforms operate strictly on fixed logic. Today’s systems process context, make real-time decisions, and directly shape business outcomes. As a software engineer embedding generative AI into large-scale enterprise architectures, I’ve had a front-row seat to this shift. The mandate for engineering teams hasn’t changed; we still need … Read more

You are, right now, more powerful than any king, president, or CEO from our past. I’m not joking. What you are able to do, unlike those kings or past presidents, is summon a passable doctor, lawyer, translator, and engineer on demand, at any hour, for very little cost. This is the beauty of Generative AI, … Read more

There is a moment in every bootstrapped developer’s life when a “clever, free hack” turns into a chaotic operational nightmare. For me, that moment hit right before Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Our lean, modular pipeline—drafting in Notion, cleaning up grammar via a ghostwriter, scraping links into CSVs, pushing assets to GitHub, and sending dirt-cheap … Read more

Artificial intelligence has changed how marketing teams create content. A single prompt can now produce a complete article, landing page, or product description in seconds — structured, readable, persuasive, and often aligned with a brand’s voice. But many companies discover a problem only after publishing: AI can produce content that looks trustworthy while containing information … Read more

From Principles to Pipelines In Part 1, we made the case that an AI system is only as effective as the information it receives, and we described what makes context reliable: relevance, freshness, completeness, trustworthiness, and authorization.

By now, fellow agent builder, you’ve probably heard that open-source models have caught up to the proprietary ones from Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, and the like. But, here’s something you may have missed: teams are actually moving away from closed-source APIs to open-source models. Why, though? Why spend engineering time doing this when you could just … Read more

Designing a browser handoff means separating permission, local execution, and effects that a local scheduler cannot undo. Imagine a browser agent clicking Save in an administration interface. Before the confirmation arrives, its permission to control the browser expires. A human wants to take over. What, exactly, has stopped? The agent may no longer be authorized. … Read more

For a while, my workflow for building ML applications with coding agents looked something like this: Write a prompt. Wait for the agent to make changes. Open the diff. Read the code.

Ask most people what “AI at work” looks like, and they’ll picture a chat window. Type a question, get an answer, maybe copy the response into an email. That’s the version of AI most employees have used, and it’s the version most software vendors sell. But a chat window is not how a company actually … Read more

Once you’re inside the crypto community, you’re going to read or hear this a lot: Not your keys? Not your coins.

Underway is trying to solve a problem that only becomes obvious later.
