The Amalgam Brief
What we’ve learned building software with AI agents and fixing older systems.
In this issue
Does AI know enough to recommend your company?
Buyers ask ChatGPT who can help them. Check what it says about you and correct it.
Why AI agents break in live work
Anthropic let Claude run a small shop for months, and staff kept talking it into bad deals.
Find your best AI use cases
Score each AI idea for value, clarity and readiness, then run a 30-day pilot on the best one.
How software gets built now
AI made code faster to write. Now review and testing decide whether it’s safe to ship.
Should you modernize or rebuild?
Start with what your system won’t let the business do, then choose fixes, phased replacement or a rebuild.
How integrations slow your team
Work between your systems slows delivery. Simplify a few busy workflows before adding tools.
