AI Agents Need a Real Browser

Headless automation gets blocked and cannot log in. VNC-only automation makes the agent push pixels. Agent Desktop is a containerized Linux desktop where a human logs in over noVNC and an AI agent drives the same browser over CDP and MCP.

Automating Patching for 600+ EC2 Instances

A client ran 600+ EC2 instances across 12 accounts, a mix of Linux and Windows. Patching took 3 senior engineers 4 hours every Sunday. We rebuilt it on AWS Systems Manager and cut the window to 45 minutes.

The $100k WSO2 Migration

A client's WSO2 API platform was running on 81 EC2 instances with a self-managed HashiCorp stack. We replaced the whole thing with AWS API Gateway. The bill went from about $115k a year to about $3.6k.

Migrating Drupal to WordPress on AWS Lightsail

A client's corporate Drupal site was stable but rigid - every banner change needed a developer. We migrated it to WordPress on AWS Lightsail at $3.50 a month, and their marketing team took the site back.

How a Local Agent Found a 50-Minute Lock, Not a Slow Database

A client called in with 500 errors. The app team said the database was slow. Our local stack, a Hermes Agent running qwen3.8:27b, found a transaction that never committed - in under an hour - and sent two emails. That was the whole bill.

In-House AI for the Support Team

A privacy-focused enterprise had two idle GPUs and a support desk. We turned them into a self-improving, self-hosted support agent - and stopped customer logs from ever touching a third party.

Optimizing Self-Hosted LLM Inference

Running qwen3.8:27b locally is easy. Making it behave is not. The model card ships explicit sampling profiles for thinking and chat, and the agent profile looks nothing like the low-temperature, high-filter default most stacks ship.
