Process mining has existed for years, but adding AI agents to the mix transforms it from a retrospective reporting tool into a live system that finds, recommends, and increasingly executes workflow improvements without waiting for a consultant to tell you what to do.

Agent Development
AI agents fail in ways that are hard to reproduce and harder to diagnose. This guide covers the practical debugging approaches that actually work: distributed tracing, structured logging for tool calls, and systematic methods for understanding why your agent went off-script.

AI Agents
Running AI agents on local hardware with Ollama and open-source models like Llama 3.3 and Qwen2.5 keeps your data private, eliminates API costs, and works offline. Here's how to build practical agent workflows that run entirely on your own machine.

Agent Architecture
Polling loops waste compute and introduce latency. Webhook-driven agents wake on real events — a new Stripe payment, a GitHub PR, an inbound email — and execute immediately. This guide covers the architecture for event-triggered agent pipelines, how to handle webhook delivery guarantees, and patterns for keeping agents reliable when events arrive out of order or at scale.

Architecture
Orchestration is replacing prompt engineering as the core AI skill. This guide breaks down the four production patterns — chaining, fan-out, routing, and hierarchical orchestration — and explains when to use each so you can build systems that actually hold up under real load.

Agent Design
Prompt engineering gets the attention, but context engineering — how you structure memory, state, instructions, and tool outputs across an agent's full context window — is what actually determines whether agents work reliably. Here's how to think about it systematically.

Agent Frameworks
smolagents is Hugging Face's minimal agent framework that runs LLM-driven agents with Python code actions. It's deliberately simple — no graph DSLs, no YAML config, just Python functions as tools and a thin execution loop. Here's how it works and when it makes sense.

Agent Infrastructure
When your AI agent needs to write and run code, where that code runs matters enormously — local execution is a security risk and cloud execution has latency and cost tradeoffs. Here's how the main sandboxing options compare.

Compliance
The EU AI Act's high-risk provisions come into force on 2 August 2026. If your agent touches hiring, lending, insurance, or healthcare in the EU, you need audit trails, risk documentation, and human oversight mechanisms -- here's what that looks like in practice.
