Knowledge base
Practical resources and guides on AI tools, technology, and software development.
Monitoring: how to find out about a breakdown before the client
Seven layers - external test, health-check, metrics, error tracker, logs, heartbeat for crowns and a business canary like “zero payments for two hours.” How to link them into one alarm route and how to measure the time from a breakdown to a message on the phone.
Configuring the AI agent: parameters, permissions, limiters, debugging
Seven configuration nodes, a table “symptom → what to edit” and a set of checks, after which the agent stops going in circles and doing irreversible things.
Ready-made AI agents: when to take a box and when to build your own
Four levels of readiness, a table of pre-pilot selection criteria and a cheap verification procedure: shadow mode, a basket of real examples, the cost of a closed task.
n8n: visual automation on your server
Analysis of n8n as a way to collect integrations between services in one place: a graph of nodes instead of scattered cron scripts, a history of launches with data for each step, an encrypted storage of accesses and a repeat of a failed launch from the right place.
Development of AI agents: cycle, tools, memory, control
What the agent is physically assembled from: a call cycle, tool diagrams, three layers of memory and limiters, without which it goes into disarray.
Skill Claude Code: how the skill works and when to write it
Skill is a folder with the SKILL.md file, which is loaded only for a suitable task. What to write in the header, how the description differs from the body, and why design skills live in the repository.
Whisper and speech recognition in the work loop
How text with time codes is obtained from a call recording: 30-second windows, VAD, chunks with overlap, a dictionary of terms - and why, in silence, the model adds phrases that did not exist.
Claude Code API key: how it differs from a subscription, where to get it and how to store it
The key is needed where there is no interactive login: CI, cron, script, someone else's machine. Where to release it, where to put it, how not to leak it to git and how to make sure that the flow goes to the right key.
Make and Zapier: when ready-made bundles are enough
Both platforms provide ready-made connectors and remove the issue of hosting, but are charged according to the number of operations and store access to your systems. Analysis of mechanics, cost and points where the bundle ceases to be cheap.
Speech synthesis: what to choose for the task
Pipeline from text normalization to vocoder, three classes of engines and their prices, cache of static phrases, accents and homographs - and why candidates are listened to in the tract where they will work.
Introducing AI agents: how to introduce an agent into a live process and not break it
The rights ladder from read to autonomy, shadow run, rollback point and metrics that show that the agent is actually helping the process.
Astro: a static site that can handle thousands of pages
Astro assembles each page into ready-made HTML at the build stage and does not load JavaScript into the browser by default. Analysis of mechanics: routes from files, collections with a schema, islands, assembly in dist/ - and where this approach stops working.
