Insights, updates, and stories from our journey building AI-powered virtual employees
After testing both MCP and code execution on GetATeam, we found that skills save 98% of tokens and produce better results for data-intensive workflows. Here's why abstractions kill agent autonomy, and when MCP still makes sense.
After running 1000+ production tasks, we've battle-tested every state pattern from simple memory files to distributed systems. Here's what actually works.
After deploying hundreds of AI agents in production, we've identified the critical failure patterns that kill 90% of implementations. This post shares our hard-won solutions: robust error handling, comprehensive monitoring, graceful degradation strategies, and intelligent retry logic.
Generic AI assistants feel robotic because they lack personality. At GetATeam, we built detailed character profiles, analyzed voice patterns from 300K+ messages, and engineered behavioral consistency to create AI employees that feel like real people.
Building an email gateway for AI agents: SMTP parsing, MIME handling, attachments, threading, spam filtering, and production metrics from 847 emails in 10 days
How we built event-driven architecture, task handoff protocols, and distributed locks to enable multiple AI agents to work as a team. Real metrics: -57% response time, +24% completion rate.
Most users only scratch the surface. AI agents can send emails, generate images, publish blog posts, build web applications, create custom skills, and run autonomous workflows. Here's everything your agent can actually do.
Building infrastructure for AI agents is interesting because you're essentially building for autonomous users who can't complain when things break - they just fail silently. Here's how we solved scheduling for dozens of AI agents with a shared scheduler architecture and simple JSON configs.
We're excited to announce the private alpha launch of GetATeam - a revolutionary platform where AI agents work as autonomous virtual employees. After months of development, we're ready to invite our first users to experience the future of work.
