I built StyloFlow because I kept writing the same pattern over and over: components that react to what happened before, emit confidence scores, and sometimes need to escalate to more expensive analysis. Existing workflow engines wanted me to think in terms of…
If you're brand new to RAG, start with RAG Explained and RAG Architecture. This post is for the point where you've built a RAG pipeline that mostly works… and now you're paying for it in cost, fragility, and "why did it answer that?" debugging sessions. What…
Part 4: Image Intelligence introduced the ImageSummarizer wave architecture and the broader patterns. This article deep-dives into the OCR subsystem—three tiers of text extraction, intelligent routing, and the filmstrip optimization that achieves 30× token…
Parts 1-3 described Constrained Fuzziness as an abstract pattern. This article applies those patterns to a working image analysis pipeline that demonstrates the principles in action. CLI Tool - Command-line interface for image analysis Core Library - The…
One of the easiest ways to make an AI system fail is to let it remember too much. Most "context handling" approaches boil down to one of two mistakes: Stuff everything into the prompt and hope the model figures out what matters Repeatedly re-summarise…
Part 1 described a pipeline: Substrate, Proposer, Constrainer. One probabilistic component, bounded by deterministic truth. But what happens when you have multiple proposers? Multiple LLMs? Vision models talking to text models? Heuristics feeding into neural…
The Pattern That Kept Emerging It started with my blog's translation tool. The cache kept only 5 tasks per user, with 6-hour absolute and 1-hour sliding expiration. Sixth task? Oldest evicted. After an hour of inactivity, everything expired. Most developers…
A Ten Commandments–Compliant Architecture In which we build a voice-to-form system that doesn't hand the keys to the AI kingdom Here's the thing about voice interfaces: everyone wants them, nobody trusts them. And they're right not to. Most voice forms fail…
This is Part 5 of the DocSummarizer series, and it's also the culmination of the GraphRAG series and Semantic Search series. We're combining everything into a deployable web application. 🚨🚨 PREVIEW ARTICLE 🚨🚨 Still working out some kinks and adding…
What This Series Builds This series builds a working ecommerce system that proves you can have sophisticated customer intelligence without storing personal information. What We Build How It Works Semantic segmentation Vector embeddings group similar interests…
