  • How Jev Cut Our Classification Cost by 20×

    We moved bounded classification decisions in Ari from general-purpose LLM calls to TypeSafe's Jev, at roughly one-twentieth the cost and 10–15× the speed.

  • Running an Open-Source Project in Autonomous Mode

    oats is public, so anyone can file an issue, and most of maintaining it is toil. GitHub Actions workflows run Claude Code on a self-hosted runner. Three save the most time: auto-classification of every issue; autofix for bugs, critical review findings, and tasks, which it declines without…

  • How We Each Review Tens of PRs a Day

    At Ariso, we each review tens of pull requests a day. A GitHub Action prepares the handoff: when a draft becomes ready for review, Claude Code assesses risks, blockers, regressions, deleted behavior, and specific human checks.

  • Human-in-the-Loop Engineering

    AI can write code quickly, but shipping reliable software remains a human endeavor. The operating model I've built at Ariso: sprint planning becomes a dashboard of to-dos, I rewrite each in my own words inside Ivan, Ivan opens draft PRs, and custom widgets surface the review queue.

  • Keeping Claude in the Loop

    We mentioned a bug in a meeting on Tuesday. This morning, Claude Code suggested fixing it the moment I opened my terminal — and twenty minutes later there was a PR. Here's how ari-hooks wires Ari into Claude Code, and why we don't use a ticketing system anymore.

  • Standup in the Agentic Age

    If your standup is still a tour of what everyone — or everyone's coding agent — did yesterday, you're doing it wrong. Ari already knows what happened. Standup isn't the memory layer anymore; it's the steering layer. Here's how we run it at Ariso.

  • The 20-Minute Feature

    This isn't about autocomplete anymore, or a slightly smarter Clippy. We're talking about a bot that took a feature request from a chat message, understood the business context, scanned the entire codebase, and opened a production-ready Pull Request. It did it in 20 minutes.

  • Adopting LangChain's Middleware API

    Move beyond simple tool-calling agents. LangChain's middleware API lets you inject user preferences before model calls and orchestrate complex workflows after tool execution—turning brittle super-tools into composable, testable layers.

  • Secret Messages for LLMs

    Hidden context messages keep user-facing LLM chats clean while giving the model rich, per-message instructions—turning conversations into a predictable, tool‑driven workflow engine with a tiny amount of code.
