Most "AI automations" you see online are duct tape. They work on the demo and break the first time real-world data hits them.
Every workflow we ship has:
- Structured logging on every step (you can debug a failure without us)
- Error handling and retry logic — workflows fail gracefully, not loudly
- Cost monitoring per-execution so you see exactly what each run costs
- Alerting on failures, anomalies, or cost spikes
- Documentation: a runbook your team (or another engineer) can read
- Version control on every workflow, not "I edited it in the UI last Tuesday"
This is what separates a workflow that runs for two years from one that breaks the first time someone's name has an apostrophe in it.
