AI, agents, and the things we build together.

I'm Boris. I write about building with AI: the engineering, the architecture decisions, the lessons learned shipping agents in production. Everything on this site runs on curate-me.ai.

Live reference implementation

This site runs on curate-me.ai. Every AI call is governed. Every cost is tracked. Every decision is auditable.
