Method · MoneyRaymond describes a progression: initially declare the outcome very loose and let a very intelligent agent run and figure out how to get to the thing you've declared; take the agent trace and codify or shrink-wrap it into a how, which drives down the cost of completing the workflow; start with a very expensive model to figure out the how, then make it more specific and more deterministic so the cost comes down; start in markdown, then move to more specific procedural embeddings and comparative style instructions; and take a golden session and say 'make this into a reusable workflow'.

AI Engineer · Stop Telling Agents How — Dan Barrett, Raymond Weitekamp & Jose Montes de Oca, OpenProse
Recommendation · MoneyDan Barrett recommends initially declaring the contract very loose, letting a very intelligent agent run and figure out how to get to the declared thing, and then taking the agent trace and codifying it into a specific how to drive down the cost of completing the workflow.

AI Engineer · A Bank Built Its Own Coding Agent. It Took Off — Felipe Felisola Caso & Francesco Galletta, Monzo
Recommendation · MoneyMonzo built an agent orchestration system that powers remote agents, running them in a sandbox inside an isolated namespace with very strict tools and permissions. The agent image defines the exact tools agents get — environment, CLIs, and authentication/authorization from the gateway — and a proxy connects agents to the outside world (e.g., code repositories) while only allowing deliberately chosen egress.
AI Engineer · A Bank Built Its Own Coding Agent. It Took Off — Felipe Felisola Caso & Francesco Galletta, Monzo
Recommendation · MoneyOne of the first things Monzo did was develop an MCP gateway giving coding agents easy access to knowledge sources, internal tools, and internal services. Internal services sit behind the MCP server for deterministic behavior and control over what is exposed, and authentication and authorization for the different agents are managed at the gateway level.

Recommendation · MoneyWhen clarity of thought really matters, perform adversarial review in three stages: self-audit, cold persona reviewers, then brand-new reviewers on the revised work.
AI Engineer · I Believe Everything My Agents Tell Me: Three Levels of Review — Corey Gallon, Rexmore
Recommendation · MoneyWhen correctness matters, first find something in the source the answer must agree with, then have two agents do the same job independently, neither seeing the other's work.

Method · MoneyHormozi lays out the giveaway campaign: use an early bird angle as the front-end offer paired with a buy-four-get-six deal; lead with a $5,000 private summer camp giveaway (priced at $500/week × 10 weeks) as the humdinger, starting with the expensive thing first so the price is anchored; make second place the core offer of $3,000 off the $5,000 camp; optionally go ballistic with a $2,000 private camp grand prize; give everyone who opts in a scholarship pass so nobody walks away empty-handed; announce first and second place prizes explicitly, run it as a seven-to-ten-day campaign, push email and paid ads, have phones follow up on leads, and give an extra drawing entry for every referred person who opts in.

Recommendation · MoneyWhen a former product user lands at a target account, ask them for internal guidance even if they lack decision-making power: 'You used our product. I'm now trying to sell to your new company. If you didn't have a horrible experience, would you be willing to give me a sense of how to get your CFO's attention or get your managing partner's attention?'

Recommendation · MoneySam recommends setting up an alert for when anyone who used to work at your company's customer (even a logo you didn't personally close) changes jobs and moves into a new territory — e.g., anyone who used to work at Acme (your customer) now moving to Beta (your target account).

Recommendation · MoneySam recommends setting up an 'in-network job changers' report: first-degree connections you know in real life who change jobs and move into your territory — even if they're not a buyer, text them: 'Yo, you work at a company I'm trying to sell to. Can you help me out?'

Recommendation · MoneySam recommends setting up a Sales Navigator alert for when anybody above a certain altitude (seniority threshold) joins your company — new executives want to make an impact quickly and are primed to help. Reach out with: 'Hey, new head of product. I know you're in New York and I'm in California, so we haven't met in the office, duh. But I'm on the Western regional team and I'm actually wondering if you might be able to help me out. You're connected with seven people that I'm actually trying to get meetings with. And if you actually know them, I'm wondering if you might be able to help me out. Could I ghostwrite something for you? Could you make an intro?'

Recommendation · MoneySam recommends setting up a LinkedIn Sales Navigator alert whenever an executive on your team connects with someone in your territory — a new connection means something happened (e.g., they met on a panel), and it opens a warm referral path that 99.9% of sellers will never know about.

Recommendation · MoneyWhen asking a well-connected person for intros, name the specific targets: 'these eight or these 12 or these 20 people, I'm trying to get a meeting with them. I'm wondering who you actually know. If I ghostwrote you something or if I gave you some more context, would you be open to connecting with me?'

Recommendation · MoneyDoneyli advises not auto-merging to main just because the eval gate passed; let the result sit for human review. He acknowledges you could set up a full end-to-end process that creates a PR automatically and waits for someone to review it if the eval clears the bar, and notes some teams push the PR straight into main if it's clearing the bar — but he discourages pushing a PR based on vibes or on what you think the agent is good at. Instead, keep a paper trail of eval evidence documenting why you made the decision for a new agent configuration.
AI Engineer · Evals for High-Stakes AI Agents — Doneyli De Jesus & Annabell Schäfer, Langfuse
Recommendation · MoneyDoneyli recommends building an annotation queue for the domain expert to review agent outputs and provide input. Make the process very simple — experts have day jobs and cannot spend hours looking at traces. Give them a couple of simple scores to choose from (yes/no, true/false, or a 1–10 scale) and let them add a free-text comment, e.g., noting an SME failure mode like a missing citation. Annotations should take only seconds each — around 10 to 30 seconds per trace — so an hour of their time covers a meaningful batch. Experts can even dictate comments with a tool like Whisperflow instead of typing. Once completed, the human annotation lives with the trace as evidence.
AI Engineer · Evals for High-Stakes AI Agents — Doneyli De Jesus & Annabell Schäfer, Langfuse
Recommendation · MoneyThe most important goal of traces is getting deep insights into what your agent is actually doing. A trace should show aggregate time and costs at the root plus a breakdown of each individual step the agent takes, including generations and tool calls. Use the trace as the foundation to track cost, latency, and tokens, and as an inspectable log for humans and coding agents. You always want to know what your agent is actually happening: what steps it is taking, what inputs and outputs it is seeing, and what tools are being called.

Recommendation · MoneyAuto-improvement definitely needs the foundation of a ground truth data set. Build ground truth data sets through expert curation by working with domain experts within the company. Use shadow runs: run the process manually continuously while the agent runs in parallel so you can compare. Shadow runs let you measure agent accuracy while also building your ground truth data set. Teams in regulated industries build ground truth data sets that they can loop on and improve over time.
