Optimize an AI agent to sound human, judged by an AI detector
You can tell when an LLM wrote an email. The "I hope this email finds you well" opener, the three polite paragraphs answering a one-line question. I wanted a reply-drafting agent that didn't do that, and "don't sound like an AI" turned out to be hard to put in a prompt. Banning a few phrases is easy. The rest is judgment, and a single prompt that holds across a friendly dinner invite and a recruiter cold-email took more iterations than I'd guessed. This is not only an email problem. Some platfor
The DingTalk & Feishu AI Ecosystem: Guide Integration in
DingTalk and Feishu have evolved far beyond messaging apps. In 2026, they function as the central nervous system for millions of Chinese enterprises — and both platforms are building increasingly sophisticated AI ecosystems. For organisations looking to deploy conversational BI, understanding how to integrate with these platforms is no longer optional; it is the primary deployment model in China. Key Insight: DingTalk and Feishu AI ecosystems enable enterprises to deploy conversational BI direct
Agentic AI Explained: A Spectrum, Not a Product Label
"Agentic" is an adjective that got sold as a noun, and most of the confusion around it comes from that one grammatical mistake. You cannot buy agentic AI, in the same way you cannot buy fast. Fast describes a car. Agentic describes how much of the deciding a system does without you. It is a measurement, and the useful question is never whether a system is agentic. It is how agentic, at which points, and what happens at those points when it gets it wrong. Once you look at it that way, a lot of ve
Building a 600-DPI PDF to JPG converter in Rust: the megapixel clamp that saved production
If you need to convert PDF to JPG at 600 DPI for print, archival, or high-res extraction, the short answer is: it works, but only if you clamp the output. A 600 DPI conversion on a large PDF page can produce a multi-gigabyte JPG per page. That crashes any server without a memory budget. I hit this in production on Convertify and had to build a fix that stayed close to the user's request while never letting the process explode. This post walks through the clamp function I wrote in Rust + libvips,
Remembering (July 2026)
Theme of the month Remembering. This month feels like it has been a year long. There's just too much that has happened for it to be possible it's only been four short weeks. After about 6 months of searching, my wife and I finally found a house! We're preparing to close next week, just two weeks ahead of my wife's due date. My family is about to see two massive changes in under a month, our lives will never be the same. We're entering a new season of sleepless nights, new joy and possibilities.
