Why Your AI Agent is About to Go Broke (and How We Fixed Vision Costs)
Sending raw images to GPT-4o is lazy architecture. It costs $0.04/run and is vulnerable to injection. Here's the 4-layer defense pipeline that cut our costs by 60%.
Updates on architecture, model routing, and system resilience.

How payload compression, OCR sanitization, schema extraction, and live state verification cut costs by 60% and eliminated visual injection attacks.
How we built a real-time cost estimator that blocks runaway automations before they drain your budget.
A deep dive into our infrastructure stack, edge caching strategy, and the monitoring tools that keep us online.
The surprisingly simple technique that eliminated hallucinated fields in our invoice extraction pipeline.
The hidden cost of human middleware. Why scaling with virtual assistants creates coordination debt that compounds faster than the value they add.
The hard lesson about building the wrong abstraction. How chasing "low-code" almost killed the product, and why a language beats a GUI every time.
