"They just see friction versus no friction." That is how Ali Golshan, Senior Director of AI Software at NVIDIA, describes AI agents facing security rules.
Apify's community of creators earns about $2m a month by building tools for AI agents. Here is what the CEO says it takes to make tools agents will actually use.
Our senior support engineers take years to learn which of thousands of records actually matter when a client call drops. We tried to shortcut that with an AI agent, and the key was how we built its memory.
Because AI agents are probabilistic and can't be trusted on their own, developers need to build layered safeguards around them, and the cost of running them in production deserves as much attention as safety.
This is a personal engineering essay, not a blueprint. I don’t know what the perfect service architecture looks like, and I won’t pretend I do. I’m not trying to sell this approach, I just want to share what I learned, in case it helps someone else avoid a few wrong turns.
