I let my AI agents rewrite their own prompts. The hard part was stopping them from getting worse.

I let my AI agents rewrite their own prompts. The hard part was stopping them from getting worse. Most "self-evolving agent" demos die the moment you think about shipping them. Not because the idea is bad, but because an agent that can rewrite its own prompt can also quietly rewrite itself into some

Swift Structs — Access Control 🔐

So far, every property and method we've added to our structs has been freely accessible from anywhere. But that's not always what you want. Sometimes you need to protect certain data from being changed in ways that could break your logic. That's exactly what access control is for. 🍥 Let's say we're

I'm building my own Claude-based chatbot, powered by MongoDB

The Design Layer and Your Security Stack: A Practical Integration Guide

The governance layer is well-built. The detection layer is well-funded. The design layer is the upstream question neither answers — and it is complementary to both. Every AI agent security architecture in 2026 has the same components. The underlying structure is consistent across vendor categories.

Grounding chatbots with real-time news: stop stale and hallucinated current events

Ask an LLM what happened in the news this morning and you'll get a confident answer that's stale, vague, or invented. Its training stopped months ago — it has no idea what's breaking right now. The fix isn't a bigger model. It's grounding answers in a live news feed at query time. Open it in your br
