The Turn Detection Trap: When 100% Accuracy is Wrong
November 22, 2025We fine-tuned MobileBERT for turn detection and achieved 100% accuracy. Then we realized we hadn't solved turn detection at all—we had just built a very expensive punctuation detector.

Give an Agent a Tool
September 15, 2025A demonstration of a fundamental paradigm shift in computer programming: from writing explicit code for every scenario to giving intelligent agents the right tools and letting them figure it out. This project shows how the same task that requires hundreds of lines of complex branching logic in traditional programming becomes simple and flexible with agentic AI. Through a real-world example of extracting contacts from varied CSV formats, we compare traditional approaches against agent-based data processing that handles unexpected formats without code changes, demonstrating the 'give an agent a tool' paradigm in action. View the project on GitHub.
