Notes shaped by real work on agentic AI, RAG, LLM observability and voice AI: the projects we are delivering, the tools we are testing, and the questions clients keep asking. Written by the engineers who ship the systems, not a content team.
BusinessBuild costs, running costs, and the four pricing models compared, including why per-seat pricing is collapsing and what replaced it.
