Governed AI, in the open
Field notes on building software with AI you can actually trust: the laws, the workflows, the gates, and what we learn running them on real code.
Why I named my AI agents after my daughters
A conversation with a friend about how language models behave under pressure led me somewhere personal. I named my product and technical coach agents Amal and Amaya, after my daughters, and it changed how I work with the system. Not because the AI became conscious, but because I changed.

Your AI can code. But can it build software?
Everyone is using AI to write code. Most of what it produces does not hold up. The gap is not talent, it is discipline. Here is the framework we built to give an AI agent the way your organization actually builds software: a constitution, skills, workflows, and avatars.

Let the constitutional wars begin
What if AI agents followed explicit laws the way constitutional democracies do? This is the case for governed AI software development (we call it Agentic SDLC): a lifecycle where AI agents operate under a constitution, cite the article behind every decision, self-correct against principle, and teach as they build.

Your AI coding assistant needs a constitution
The biggest problem with AI coding assistants is not their capability, it is their citizenship. Stateless tourists with no accountability will never earn your trust. Give the AI explicit laws to follow, and it turns from unreliable autocomplete into a teaching, verifiable development partner.
