Field notes from production AI.

No hot takes, no hype cycles. Practical writing on the engineering that actually gets AI into production and keeps it there — from the team doing the work.

Why most AI projects die between the demo and production

The demo is the easy 20%. The reason AI initiatives stall is almost never the model — it’s the integration, evaluation, observability, and cost work that turns a prompt into a system.

Retrieval

RAG is a retrieval problem, not a prompting problem

When a RAG system gives wrong answers, teams reach for the prompt. The fix is almost always upstream: what you retrieved, how you chunked it, and whether you can even see why.

Quality

Evaluations are the only thing between you and silent regressions

A prompt tweak or model upgrade can quietly degrade quality, and you won’t know until a customer tells you. Evaluation harnesses turn that invisible risk into a number you can act on.

Model routing: cutting AI cost without cutting quality

Sending every request to your most expensive model is the default — and it’s a margin problem waiting to happen. Routing, caching, and instrumentation fix it without users noticing.

Agents

Designing agents you can actually operate

Autonomy is easy to demo and hard to run. Operable agents come from explicit control flow, typed tools, and traceability — bounded autonomy beats open-ended cleverness in production.

Governance

Shipping AI under the EU AI Act: governance without the theater

The AI Act is now a delivery concern, not just legal overhead. The good news: most of what it asks for — documentation, risk management, traceability — is also just good engineering.
