Building Real Workflows

Collect items from several feeds into a sheet, de-duplicate them, and let a model rank and summarize what is worth your time. The backbone of the news digest project.

The two ways systems talk to each other, explained with a delivery-driver analogy, and the four things to check before you call any API from a workflow.

Workflows that run unattended fail in three ways. Here is a small pattern for each so a bad night costs you one notification, not a weekend.

Collect from a dozen feeds, de-duplicate in a sheet, let a model rank and categorize, and email a five-item digest every morning plus a weekly roll-up.

Turn a company name into a one-page brief: what they do, recent changes, likely needs, and three questions to open with. Always reviewed by a human before it reaches a customer.

Beginner tutorial: Regular RAG 'retrieves once, then answers', while Agentic RAG 'checks its own results after retrieving, and if they fall short, rewrites the query and searches again'. Covers the loop, suitable scenarios, and things to watch out for.

A beginner tutorial: the context window is limited. It explains the types of context, how to plan for them, the four techniques of writing, selecting, compressing and isolating, and common context failures.

A beginner tutorial: agents without memory start from scratch every time. Explains the differences between working, short-term, and long-term memory, how to store them, and how memory helps agents get better with use.

Intermediate tutorial: metacognition means thinking about how you think. Have the Agent evaluate its own performance, catch mistakes, and adjust its approach, with a travel Agent example.
