APPLIED AI • ORCHESTRATION • RELIABILITY • DATA-AWARE AGENTS

Applied AI systems research for operational automation at scale.

Magazine is an applied AI systems lab exploring how modular, agent-based architectures can execute operational workflows beyond traditional chat interfaces — with an emphasis on reliability, isolation, and infrastructure-aware deployment patterns.

Problem space

SMB operations often remain fragmented across messaging apps, spreadsheets, and disconnected tools. Existing automation platforms can be costly, complex, or hard to adapt to real operational flows.

Current status
  • Early-stage applied research & prototyping
  • Focus: robustness, isolation, and repeatability
  • Workloads: orchestration, storage, and evaluation loops
Outputs
  • Agent coordination patterns (routing, fallbacks, guardrails)
  • Evaluation harness for workflow correctness
  • Blueprint for scalable multi-tenant deployment
Research Tracks
1) Orchestration & routing beyond “single chat”
Study coordination strategies for specialized agents executing multi-step operational tasks: routing, tool selection, fallback paths, and bounded decision-making under uncertainty.
Focus: deterministic edges, auditable traces, failure containment.
2) Reliability experiments under realistic load
Build evaluation loops that measure workflow correctness, latency budgets, and degradation behavior during partial failures and retry storms.
Metrics: success rate, rollback frequency, timeout recovery, trace integrity.
3) Data-aware agents (vector + structured storage)
Combine vector retrieval with structured state to support context grounding, task planning, and operational decision support while preserving isolation boundaries.
Goal: minimize hallucination risk via data constraints + validation steps.
Capabilities under investigation

Guardrailed execution

Constrained actions, step validation, and reversible operations in multi-step workflows.

Isolation by design

Tenant boundaries, service segmentation, and data separation patterns for safe iteration.

Infrastructure-aware scaling

Repeatable environments and load-shaped experiments to validate deployment assumptions.

This site intentionally presents a research posture (not a commercial pitch) to remain grant-safe and aligned with infrastructure credit programs.

System Blueprint

A high-level, vendor-neutral architecture sketch of the components under experimentation. Designed to communicate “real infrastructure needs” without over-claiming production traction.

Blueprint notes
The system is modular: orchestration coordinates agents; tools execute bounded operations; storage persists structured state and vector indexes; evaluation harness simulates realistic scenarios.
No public endpoints are implied. Access and scopes are research-controlled.

Orchestration Layer • routing / fallbacks • guardrails / policies • trace + audit Agent Pool (modular) • sales routing agent • scheduling agent • support triage agent Tooling / Connectors • bounded actions • validators • rate limits Storage (structured + vector) • operational state • embeddings / retrieval index • isolation boundaries Evaluation Harness • scenario simulations • correctness checks • load + failure testing state traces eval loops

Blueprint communicates architecture intent, not production readiness. Components and scopes are controlled in a research context.

Infrastructure Footprint

Applied AI experimentation is infrastructure-heavy. The system requires isolated environments for iteration, persistent storage for datasets and traces, and networking boundaries between components.

Compute usage
Orchestration services, evaluation loops, and background workers to run scenario simulations and correctness validation.
Pattern: ephemeral test runs + persistent core services.
Storage usage
Persistent volumes for structured state, embeddings, test corpora, and audit traces.
Pattern: trace retention + snapshot-based reproducibility.
Networking & isolation
Internal service boundaries, private networking, and restricted exposure for controlled research access.
Goal: minimize blast radius during experiments.
Practical cloud primitives

Isolated environments

Parallel test stacks to validate reliability across versions and configurations.

Persistent datasets

Durable storage for evaluation corpora, traces, and retrieval indexes.

Controlled access

Research-only entry points with strict scopes, rate limits, and observability.

Infrastructure credits

Infrastructure support enables iterative testing of system assumptions under realistic load, evaluation of reliability strategies, and reproducible experimentation using isolated environments.

Credits are used for: - running isolated test environments (parallel stacks) - evaluation harness workloads (scenario simulations) - persistent storage for datasets, traces, and indexes - controlled networking boundaries and observability
