Ends, Means, and AI: The System Design Principle We’re Overlooking
Thinking about ends, means, subjects and objects changes how you design agentic systems. State and continuity define an architectural boundary worth guarding.

Idle workers: automation that yields to humans
Idle workers perform tasks while a device is unused, yield when the human returns, and resume where they left off.
WOVEN x16: a headless, composable agent service
WOVEN x16 is a headless agent service built for asynchronous work, multiple models and composable tools.
Agent workflows need feedback, not closed loops
One of the biggest mistakes people are making right now is building closed loops into their agent systems.
Why Salesforce Agents Fail — A Systems Breakdown
A systems breakdown of Salesforce agents: system-prompt load, context saturation, role confusion and the architecture needed for more deliberate workflows.
Classifiers, procedure, and judgment
Let classifiers evaluate conditions, deterministic software manage the branches, and a reasoning model make the final judgment.
Let the agent own the loop
An agent should start and deliberately continue its own tool loop. This design reverses the usual procedural loop and gives the actor control over continuation.
