What Changed in Google ADK Since We Built IVE

Artificial Intelligence / Agent Frameworks The framework IVE was built on has already had its biggest architectural revision since launch. IVE’s own reference page describes an agent built with Google ADK’s LlmAgent, Runner, and RunConfig — the classical, hierarchical way of building an ADK agent. Since then, Google has shipped ADK 2.0, which replaces that … Read more

AI Agents Don’t Need More Permissions. They Need Row-Level Security.

Artificial Intelligence / Agent Security Most guides to securing AI agents talk about prompt injection, jailbreaks, and tool permissions. Almost none of them talk about the database. That is the gap: an agent can have a perfectly scoped set of tools and still read or write any row in your database, because the credential behind … Read more

Why Offline Speech Translation Is Harder Than It Looks

Artificial Intelligence / Product Engineering Most translation apps quietly assume you have a signal. That assumption breaks exactly when translation matters most — roaming abroad, a weak-coverage building, a rural area with no data plan. Trago is being built around the opposite assumption. The problem, stated plainly Online translation tools depend on a stable connection: … Read more

MCP Solved Integration. It Didn’t Solve Authorization

Artificial Intelligence / Agent Security The Model Context Protocol solved a real integration problem for AI agents. It did not solve authorization — and treating the two as the same thing is how agent deployments get quietly overexposed. The problem MCP actually solves Before late 2024, every AI application that wanted to connect a language … Read more

Beyond AI-Generated Code: Governance, Verification and Control in Intelligent Systems Engineering

Artificial intelligence can accelerate implementation. But speed without independent validation can also accelerate errors, unclear scope and decisions that are difficult to reverse. The engineering challenge is not only to produce code faster. It is to build a process in which intent, implementation, review, testing, evidence and human ownership remain visible. This article describes the … Read more

InsightValues: From Intelligence to Execution

There’s a seductive illusion in digital business today: the idea that more data and more AI automatically lead to better decisions.   They don’t.   It isn’t a lack of information that paralyzes most people and teams. It’s the gap between knowing and doing. Between having an insight and turning it into coordinated action. Between … Read more
