Cognitive Architecture Patterns in Health Care for LLMs

We're inspired by the ideas from this Cognitive Architecture paper and an insightful Langchain Blog by Harrison Chase.

At RevelAI Health, we're exploring how to create closed-loop, safe agents in healthcare — systems that can reason and execute on patient needs in a secure and reliable way. The key is understanding how these agentic systems should think, the flow of execution in response to patient intent, and ensuring safety through structured, observable loops.

Is Your Security Posture Holding Your Healthcare Startup Back?

When deploying a healthcare product, HIPAA compliance is crucial. No matter how innovative your solution is, without convincing the CIO or security team, you won't get deployed. I view security and HIPAA posture as essential features of any healthcare product.

Does Your Startup Really Need Complex Cloud Infrastructure?

I recently listened to Pieter Levels on the Lex Friedman Podcast, and it was eye-opening. Pieter has built numerous successful micro-SaaS businesses by running his applications on single server, avoiding cloud infrastructure complexity, and focusing on what truly matters: product-market fit.

My desk setup in 2024

My desk setup as of writing this post. I've been working from home for the past 1 year and have been slowly evolving my setup to be more ergonomic and efficient.

Also, I want to use this blog to track changes for my setup over time and share with fellow devs / team-mates.

How LLMs Revolutionized My Productivity

In the ever-evolving landscape of LLMs, I've observed two distinct camps: the doomsayers who predict a dystopian future and the overly optimistic who claim AI has completely transformed their lives overnight. As for me? I find myself somewhere in the middle – cautiously optimistic about the technology's potential while actively seeking ways to harness it for practical, everyday use.

From Concept to Production with Observability in LLM Applications

Understanding observability in AI applications, particularly in Large Language Models (LLMs), is crucial. It's all about tracking how your model performs over time, which is especially challenging with text generation outputs. Unlike categorical outputs, text generation can vary widely, making it essential to monitor the behavior and performance of your model closely.

Navigating the AI Hype and Thinking about Niche LLM Applications

Recently, there has been a surge of enthusiasm surrounding large language models (LLMs) and generative AI, and justifiably so: LLMs have the power to revolutionize entire industries. Yet, this enthusiasm often gives rise to inevitable hype. It appears somewhat counterintuitive to avoid incorporating “AI” into a product’s presentation, considering the immediate market interest it can generate.

Helping People Quit Smoking Through Financial Rewards

Guest post on AWS Startups Blog

Smoking is still the leading cause of preventable death, and the pandemic made matters worse: cigarette sales increased in 2020 for the first time in over 20 years. There are over 34 million adult smokers in the US, many of whom are lower income. Reaching them and providing effective support at this scale while keeping costs down can only be achieved with the aid of technology and carefully designed patient experience.

Delayed task queue: How Vincere evolved from one Lambda to a persistent queue
