Our Thinking
Perspectives on AI, expertise, and why the hard problems matter most.

The data from your machines usually stops at a dashboard
Most shops can already get machine data off the floor. It tends to land in a dashboard and stay there. myai reads that same signal into the operator's mirror, where an agent can reason about it and act.

Replacing your ERP may not fix the spreadsheet next to it
Replacing the ERP will not fix the way work actually gets done. The real process often lives in the spreadsheets, macros, emails, and handoffs around the system of record.

Joining NVIDIA Inception, and moving down the stack
We're now a member of the NVIDIA Inception program, and we're using it to move down the stack: from steering models with context toward tuning them.

Hello, world. This is myai.
After the better part of a year building mostly with industrial customers, the public version of myai is here. Watch the trailer, see where to start, and meet the platform that meets you where you are.

Most AI stacks are built backwards. Start with the agent, not the data.
The default enterprise AI sequence (data, CRUD, dashboard, agent-on-top) is the wrong shape for agents. The reframe is the audience: the agent isn't the last reader of your data, it's the first.

Use cases are not enough to make agents work
Use cases are helpful, but they are only one slice of the work. Agents create more value when they are designed around the people, process, handoffs, and feedback loops that make the business run.

Sparse but Deep: why most RAG is noise
Last week we ran the same question through two retrieval shapes: Codex over a week of commits, myai over the artifact graph. Same input, very different outputs. Here's why we summarize before we search, and why it matters more the longer your agent runs.

myai is the context. Your agent is the hands.
Why we deliberately don't try to be a catch-all MCP connector. What becomes possible when myai handles your context and your agent of choice does the rest.

Your agent instructions are describing, not prescribing
Almost all agent documentation (system prompts, CLAUDE.md files, cursor rules) describes the world. The document your agent needs is the one it can't derive from the code: your intent.

Your workarounds are telling you something
Workarounds are often a sign that the official system does not match how the work gets done. Before replacing them, understand what people built and why.

Why Your AI Agent Needs Dimensions, Not Just Skills
Most AI tools organize knowledge in a big bucket. But no one's actual job looks like that. Jobs are multi-dimensional, and your agent architecture should be too.

The Socratic Superpower: Why Asking AI Questions Matters More Than Prompting
Most people interact with AI by screaming at it. The real leverage is in the back-and-forth.

Beyond easy problems: where AI actually creates value
Everyone's automating outbound emails and meeting notes. The real value is in coordination problems that cross manufacturing, engineering, and supply chain.
