    I Built My Own AI Memory System. Here's What I Learned

    AI forgets everything past its context window. And when it forgets, it starts making stuff up. I built SOKK, a career assistant that dropped hallucination from 24% to under 3% using dual-gate verification. Then I built UOCE, a context engine that reduced token usage by 67-95%. This episode breaks down the architecture, the research backing it, and what I'd do differently. If you work with LLMs, this might change how you think about memory.

    How We Built an AI Waste Classifier to Solve a $640B Problem

    Four devs. Four months. One $640 billion problem. We built an AI waste classification app for California's SB 1383 compliance. In this episode: why context engineering beats prompt engineering, the CapacitorJS tradeoffs nobody warns you about, building an AI assistant that isn't ChatGPT slop, and how gamification actually got people to care about recycling. Honest takes on what broke, what worked, and why we're not making this a startup.

    Your MCP Setup Is Eating Half Your Context. Here's the Fix.

    MCP integrations were eating 30-50% of context window before you could even type. Sessions dying every 10-15 minutes. We tried everything. Skills, code execution wrappers, universal configs. Nothing worked.Claude Code just shipped Tool Search. It loads MCP tools on-demand now. Zero context cost until you actually need them.In this episode:• Why MCP was a context tax• What we tried (and why it failed)• How Tool Search works• The fix if it's not enabled yetConnect everything. No penalty anymore.

    Google Doesn't Want You to Shop Anymore: UCP Explained

    Google just announced the Universal Commerce Protocol at NRF 2026. Most headlines are calling it an "AI shopping assistant."

In this episode, I break down what UCP actually is, why Amazon and Apple aren't on board, the 24% trust problem Google is betting billions to solve, and what this means for consumers and businesses. Would you let AI buy things for you?
