Notes on building AI that actually works.

RAG and semantic search, LLM integrations, agent pipelines and the backends underneath — practical posts written while shipping.

Who blocks AI crawlers? robots.txt vs the network edge, with numbers

I scanned robots.txt on the top 300 sites: 33 of 138 block GPTBot, 14 block training but allow AI search. What each AI bot directive controls, why robots.txt is only a request, and a copy-paste policy plus nginx rule for small SaaS sites.

The pipeline, the seams, and where the model re-imagines the water.#ai#comfyui#video-generation#flowdsl

Sep 28, 2026 · 7 min readAn AI media pipeline that shows its work: ComfyUI presets, FlowDSL routing and the missesHow the images on my sites are generated: four ComfyUI presets behind one Go module, job rows as state, FlowDSL flows for routing, per-post media in the admin — and the bugs and model misses I hit shipping it. This post's own images were made the same way.#ai#flowdsl#comfyui#image-generation

All posts

// what I write about — and build

Three topics. Also three things I build for clients.

Every topic has posts to read and a free quote if you want it built for your data and systems.

RAG & semantic search

Search and assistants that answer from your own documents — with sources, and a handoff when they’re not sure.

Embeddings & vector search
Hybrid keyword + meaning search
Assistants with citations

AI integrations

LLMs wired into the systems you already run — tickets, CRM, catalog, inbox — with costs and quality you can see.

Summaries, drafts, classification
Translations and content generation
APIs, webhooks, your own model

Agent pipelines

Multi-step agents as inspectable workflows — they plan, act and check, and a person approves anything that matters.

Workflows you can open and trace
Human approval steps
Event-driven, retry-safe backends
