Technical guides for building AI agents
Most teams evaluate agents by checking a few examples. Real evaluation needs layered metrics, non-rotting datasets, and judges that push back. This article provides runnable code patterns and a practical decision framework.
Most agent workflows fail at the orchestration layer, not the model. A practical comparison of DAG, state machine, and visual builder approaches with production-ready code for error handling, human approval gates, and conditional branching.
A deep architectural comparison of seven open-source coding agents across three paradigms — CLI-first, IDE-integrated, and fully autonomous — examining context management, tool access, and autonomy levels to help you pick the right tool for each development scenario.
Breaking down three abstraction layers for browser automation—from raw Playwright to structured extraction—with production patterns, runnable code, and common pitfalls.
Most RAG pipelines fail at retrieval, not generation. This article covers five chunking strategies, hybrid search, reranking pipelines, and a production-ready decision framework.
A deep dive into the four-layer agent memory architecture, with practical code for vector retrieval and memory compression to help you build scalable long-term memory systems.
A systematic guide to the three pillars of agent observability — distributed tracing, metrics monitoring, and automated evaluation — for building production-grade agent monitoring.
A systematic walkthrough of three major attack surfaces in AI agents, with practical code examples for prompt injection defense, tool permission scoping, and output filtering.
Comparing container, WebAssembly, and process-level isolation approaches, with practical code for safely executing agent-generated code.
Build a production-grade MCP server from scratch, covering tool definition, authentication design, and testing strategies to turn any API into an agent-ready tool.
