Field notes from the agentic world.
How businesses are being rebuilt around governed AI agents — the architecture, the operating model, and the hard-won lessons from shipping it across 180+ businesses. Written by the people building lastloop.
The whole loop, one post at a time.
Structure, Implement, Collaborate, Expand — plus the platform primitives that make it provable.
Aegis: governance as a substrate, not a feature
Bolt-on approval flows break the moment agents act faster than humans can click. Why governance has to live under the runtime — not beside it.

Read →Mainspring — a runtime for agents that never sleep
Always-on agents need an execution model that survives restarts, retries cleanly, and accounts for every cent of compute. A look inside the engine.

Read →The single-maintainer trap: why workflow tools don't scale to a business
That one brilliant automation breaks when its author goes on holiday. Real operations need ownership, identity, and recovery — not a fragile graph in someone's head.

Read →Ledger and the system of record for AI work
If a human can't reconstruct what an agent did and why, it never really happened. How an immutable record turns autonomy into accountability.

Read →From pilot to production in three weeks
How a forward-deployed Business Solutions team took a 40-person logistics firm from a slide deck to live, governed agents — and what we'd do differently.

Read →Warrant: least-privilege for autonomous agents
An agent that can do anything is a liability. Scoped, revocable, auditable identity is the difference between a copilot and a loose cannon.

Read →Structure, Implement, Collaborate, Expand — the loop
The four-stage rhythm behind every lastloop deployment, and why skipping the first stage is the most expensive mistake teams make.

Read →Cadence: scheduling work for a workforce that doesn't clock out
Coordinating dozens of agents across dependencies, retries, and human checkpoints. The orchestration layer that keeps the whole system in time.

Read →Loom: weaving tools, data, and agents into one fabric
Most "AI platforms" are a pile of integrations. We made the connective tissue first-class — so context, permissions, and state flow as one.
