What you'll learn

Diagnose where AI automation breaks

Use five failure patterns from my experiment: distribution, ownership, browser work, memory, and verification.

Design a system with replaceable workers

See how separating control, execution, and verification made each worker replaceable.

Apply five reliability rules to your work

Use factor-based routing, terminal states, destination proof, fresh state, and single ownership.

Why this topic matters

For four months, I ran a digital-products company with almost no routine human execution. AI agents built, marketed, operated, and measured the business. More than 20 people bought a real product. Then I counted my time: I had built myself a minimum-wage job. I’ll walk you through what failed, the architecture that emerged, and five reliability rules you can use in your own AI work.
