My AI Stack
A short but comprehensive overview of the stack I use to build software with AI agents, and why each piece is there.

I'm Matt James, a CTO and software developer. I mostly write about building software with AI agents, startups, and whatever else I've been digging into.

These are the posts I'd read first.
