Why We Built the Foundry

Building production AI agents isn’t just about the code — it’s about the architecture, the patterns, and the hard-won lessons from shipping real systems.

The Problem

Every AI project starts the same way: “Let’s build an agent that can…” Then reality hits. Where do you handle state? How do you manage context? What about error handling, monitoring, and scaling?

Most teams end up reinventing the wheel, making the same mistakes we’ve all made before.

The Solution

The Foundry is our answer: a continuously validated reference architecture for production AI agents. It’s not a framework — it’s a blueprint based on what actually works in production.

What Makes It Different

• Battle-tested: Every pattern has been used in real production systems
• Living document: Updated as we learn and ship new agents
• Opinionated: We’ve made the hard decisions so you don’t have to
• Pragmatic: Built for teams that need to ship, not perfect systems

Open by Default

We’re sharing everything we learn because better AI agents benefit everyone. The Foundry is our contribution to making AI development more predictable and less painful.
