Chat transcripts age badly. Engineers need a constitution, a specification, an architecture plan and developer-ready tasks. Here is how we built a pipeline that produces all four — and why it changes how teams ship.
Generic chat AIs produce shallow architecture. We share the prompt scaffolds, evaluation rubrics and guardrails behind Nexivo's Architecture stage, plus the failure modes we hit getting there.
A digital agency case study. From client brief to signed SOW in two days instead of two weeks — and what changed in their delivery and pricing process to make it stick.
Latency budgets, trust signals, evals, fallback states, cost accounting and the soul of the product. What we learned building an AI surface that ships actual engineering work.
Bookkeeping, contracts, MSAs, DPAs, sub-processor management and how we kept compliance manageable while staying a small team. A practical guide for founders.
Idempotency keys, streaming responses, webhook signing, deterministic schemas and how we kept the Nexivo API shape boring enough to forget about.
