Shipping AI features that survive production traffic
Guardrails, evaluation, and observability patterns so LLM-powered workflows do not become silent quality leaks.
Demos love a slick prompt; production loves latency budgets, failure modes, and audit trails. The gap between the two is where AI projects quietly lose trust.
Design for degradation
- Timeout and fallback paths when the model or vendor flakes.
- Structured outputs validated before they touch user-visible state.
- Logging that ties a bad answer to inputs without storing secrets.
Connect research to your product surface
If you are wiring assistants, summarization, or classification into a real app, the implementation work is still product engineering. See how Web Is approaches AI-powered tools and web delivery, then bring your use case to a discovery session.
