DestinPQ Blog - 5-Minute Audio Summary
All posts in one listen: seven AI agents, voice architecture, local AI, email deliverability, and video models.
Production AI Fundamentals
5-part series · Reliability, data, agents, observability and workflows
Part 1Your AI Is One Server Away From Dying: The Single Point of Failure Problem
Your AI can be brilliant and still go offline because of one database, API, server, queue or credential.
Part 2Your AI Passed the Exam Because It Saw the Answer Sheet
Training accuracy means very little if your AI has already seen the answers. Here is how training, testing and leakage actually work.
Part 3When AI Agents Disagree, Don’t Just Make Them Vote
Three confident AIs can still agree on the wrong answer. The useful part of an AI council is the feedback loop between them.
Part 4The Black Box Nightmare: “It Works” Is Not an Engineering Strategy
A production AI stack may depend on models, plugins and APIs you cannot inspect. Observability is how you keep it debuggable.
Part 5Automation Follows Rules. Agents Decide What Happens Next.
A helmet detector can tell you whether someone is wearing a helmet. An agentic workflow decides what to do about it.
