Your agents, under control

My goal now is to have agents working 24/7 without having to watch over every step. For that, I need observability and permission management.

I'm Alberto, a software engineer with more than ten years of experience designing high-traffic systems and working in infrastructure, security, and data.

Each week, I send you an email with an idea from what I'm working on, so you can put it into practice too.

The future is about designing systems and orchestrating agents

LLMs are here to stay.

Knowing how to design the systems our agents work with is becoming increasingly important: giving them context, tools, and autonomy.

The problem is that this autonomy comes with new risks, such as prompt injection or credential theft.

That's why you need to be able to answer questions like these about your agents:

What are they doing, and how can I supervise it?
What's their budget, and what happens when they run out?
Which data and systems can they access, and with what permissions?

I've spent years automating processes and designing, monitoring, and securing infrastructure that handles heavy traffic, so these questions are familiar to me.

Now I apply that experience to the processes I design with AI agents.

This is where I try out what works and what doesn't, and share it with you every week.

Behind Pirobits

Hi, I'm Alberto Sola.

I've been a Software Engineer for more than ten years. I've worked as a Tech Lead, and I currently lead Platform, Data, and Security at a large ecommerce company.

Over the years, I've built web applications and low-level tools, and designed and scaled high-traffic sites handling several thousand requests per second.

I've also worked on system monitoring and hardening, both on-premises and in the cloud. My background combines hands-on technical work with leading teams.

Now I'm focused on answering this question: how can I get agents to do more and more work on their own without losing control?
