Building AI Agents

I was manually turning generated children's books into Instagram carousels, hit the limit of “doing things that don't scale,” and built a focused internal editor to make the workflow deterministic and fast.

We run a multi-tenant Rails application with sensitive data and layered authorization. In this post, I walk through how I added the first AI agent tool using RubyLLM, Pundit policies, and our existing Algolia search, without introducing a parallel system or loosening constraints.
