The problem

Most AI agents die as demos.

The model was never the hard part. Agents break the moment they touch the real world, on auth, identity, access, and the thousand things that work in a sandbox and fall over in production. Closing that gap is the whole job, and it's the one I've spent my career on.

Proof

I advise on this because I've shipped it.
