Fast prototyping can hide a slow path to dependable delivery. Before expanding an AI product, follow one real user request through the interface, model logic, data movement, external services, and recovery behavior. The best next task is often not a new capability. It is the handoff most likely to interrupt the promised outcome. Which handoff in your product needs attention first?

Containerized Node.js services (Docker Compose) with a fully offline test suite and CI. Built to cut the analytics team's ad-hoc reporting load - and to prove AI agents can be trusted with production writes when properly gated.
Solid setup. One thing that has saved me a lot in write-capable agents: log every agent turn (prompt, tool calls, outcome) to an audit table and add a replay mode — when a report comes out wrong, you can reproduce the exact run instead of debugging blind. Also worth setting a...
