Zero fabrication: when anti-hallucination becomes a product constraint

"The agent hallucinates" is a bad diagnosis: it sends you looking at the model. On an agent extracting data from documents, I watched the guarantee move — from model quality to three engineering constraints. One of them surprised me.

Filing information redistributes nothing

Family apps are very good at filing a household's information. None of them change who has to think about it. Building Noan, I spent more time on that shift than on every feature combined — and on the tightrope it forces: making invisible work visible without keeping score.

From prompt engineer to agentic AI engineer — the 5 patterns that transformed me

They say it takes 14 steps to become an agentic AI engineer. Spoiler: real transformations fit into 5 architectural patterns. Here's how I learned it's no longer about talking to the model, but building a system that decides.

Perplexity is pulling back from MCP internally. Here's the POC that dodges the same wall.

Perplexity is pulling back from MCP internally, and their reasons are real. But token bloat and weak permissions are a wiring problem, not a protocol one. Here's a POC that exposes my tools once and grants each agent only its slice.

I handed my bank statements to a deep agent — and it actually remembers

LangChain ships deepagents: the four building blocks I've been repeating for three months, named and packaged. I test them on a real personal need — a banking companion, my statement PDFs kept local, a real chat UI — and find out the pillar that matters isn't the one I expected.

The blank startup screen: anatomy of 4 bugs that look alike

No crash, no log, just white. Three different causes, one symptom — plus the 4th bug that made the other three impossible to debug: my safety net had a hole in it.

Ti Boug: turning price PDFs into an anti-cost-of-living app

I'm building an app for Réunion: the real price of fruit and veg already exists, public, stuck in PDFs nobody reads. Ti Boug sets it free — what's cheap, where, and when. The build, and why I challenge the idea before believing it.

I built an app to memorize 3000 English words. No account, no server, no build.

The 3000 most useful English words, ordered by frequency, as flashcards with spaced repetition. It all lives in the browser, the data is the single source of truth, and it's online on GitHub Pages. The story of a mini-app designed to last with zero maintenance.

I made Claude, GPT and Gemini predict the World Cup. I'm keeping score live.

Three frontier models, 72 group-stage matches, predictions frozen before kickoff, and a leaderboard that updates itself. A benchmark dressed up as a game — and the perfect excuse to ship a quick mini-app on GitHub Pages.
