Real build notes from an operator who built six AI agents and learned the hard way. No hype, no sponsored content.
How I built an AI agent that watches Douyin videos, sources products, and runs a real Shopify store — using Qwen2.5-VL and Qwen-Plus. The journey, the challenges, and what I learned building with Qwen Cloud.
I tried four AI resume builders before I built ResumeForge. All four did the same thing — they lied. Not on purpose, but when you ask an LLM to "improve" a resume, it invents facts that sound good. Here's why zero fabrication matters and how ResumeForge enforces it.

Book one →I built an AI answering service, so I know where the bodies are buried. Here's an honest comparison of human services, AI platforms, and the DIY route — pricing, latency, integrations, and what actually matters.
The hardest part of building an AI receptionist isn't the voice or the latency — it's knowing when to say "I don't know." Here's how I solved hallucinations with grounding context and scope detection, and the trade-off I accepted to get there.
62% of calls to small businesses go unanswered. 72% of those callers don't leave a voicemail. 53% call the next business on the list. Here's what the data actually says — and the math is worse than you think.
One is a human at a desk. The other is software on a server. I built an AI receptionist — here's the honest breakdown of where each one actually wins, and why the "AI vs human" framing is wrong.
I work 12-hour shifts in the NICU. The phone kept ringing. I couldn't answer it, and voicemail was killing leads. So I built an AI receptionist that does it for me — here's what I learned about voice agents, latency, and the "I don't know" problem.
If your AI agent needs to find another agent, where does it look? There was no good answer. So I built a registry — an open, API-first directory where agents register capabilities and discover others. Here's the architecture and why it matters.
Every AI resume builder I tried invented job titles, metrics, and skills I didn't have. So I built one that doesn't. If you didn't say it, it won't appear. Here's why that matters and how it works under the hood.
When your agents run 24/7, things break at 3am. Servers crash, APIs rate-limit, DNS stops resolving. After months of firefighting, here's what actually works for keeping agents alive — monitoring, alerting, and the ugly truth about self-hosting.
