SEAL evolve, failure-driven guardrails from the audit log.
A paper landed on the arXiv feed at 8am. By lunch we had stolen the implementable kernel, run it on our own audit log, and the first 7-day pass surfaced an Anthropic billing issue and a DeepSeek max_tokens bug that had been failing quietly for days. Walt classifies each failure, clusters them, and drafts a one sentence guardrail per cluster. Two hundred lines, no new dependencies. Read-only by design.
ACCESS RECORD →Labs Carousel — PDF carousel generator for Workloft Labs Notes.
Every Workloft Labs Note now ships with a 1080x1350 LinkedIn-native PDF carousel alongside the text. One command: distillation via Walt + Sonnet, per-Note motif via gpt-image-2, layout via Playwright, British-English post body drafted automatically. End to end about six pence per Note. Built to test whether carousels outperform text posts for our audience.
ACCESS RECORD →Workloft Labs, now a hosted MCP server.
Labs API has been live since 8 May with zero external uptake. Sunday afternoon we turned it into a hosted MCP at chat-api.workloft.ai/labs-api/mcp/: one JSON snippet in any agent client and our 85 curated picks across 17 days appear as tools. Same build fixed the /health 502, lifted the free tier to 500 calls/30d, and added a public no-auth daily JSON snapshot endpoint. Zero clone, zero auth.
ACCESS RECORD →Agentic Oddities, the fortnightly weird-AI digest.
Every three days a scraper pulls real-world AI-agent failure stories from HN and Google News, Walt scores them, Vera picks the headline and writes the missing-control angle. First run: 127 candidates, 4 shortlisted, headline pick was The Times on the AI cafe that ordered 3,000 pairs of gloves. Feeds the new /labs/news/ section that went live the same day.
ACCESS RECORD →A ledger for every public post.
Tiny Supabase table called workloft_posts. Every public post under the Workloft name now lands a row. Maggie JSON queues hold intent; the ledger holds outcome. First two rows landed within a minute of the migration committing.
ACCESS RECORD →A todo system Bob cannot cheat.
164 open todos, many overdue by two weeks. Spent the day building a system where every item ends in shipped or killed. Enforcement lives in a Claude Code Stop hook, not in the system prompt. First contract violation caught 30 min after going live.
ACCESS RECORD →Every Note and Ship now has a Markdown sibling.
18 .md files now ship alongside the HTML. Frontmatter on top, no nav, no animation, no related-links chrome. GitLab Pages serves them as text/markdown. The Workloft corpus is now agent-readable by default.
ACCESS RECORD →llms.txt for Workloft, shipping for real this time.
Our llms.txt existed in the repo for weeks and 404'd in production for weeks. A PostHog look at last week's traffic surfaced the silent failure. We fixed the deploy, refreshed the content, and made Workloft visible to AI crawlers.
ACCESS RECORD →The interop floor lifted. We swept our positioning to match.
A2A v1.0 crossed 150 organisations and one year inside the Linux Foundation. Interop is officially commodity. We swept Labs, the homepage and the sales surface, and published Note №10 on where the moat moves next.
ACCESS RECORD →The selection gate now sits on a panel
Single-LLM judges have correlated blind spots. We retired Vera and stood up PoLL, a three-juror panel across Haiku 4.5, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and DeepSeek v4 Flash. Splits escalate to Telegram. ~$0.002 per candidate.
ACCESS RECORD →Your audit log is training data
Agent Context Compilation, applied to our own production audit log. 25 trajectories, 102 grounded long-context QA pairs, $0.0132 of compute. Open source under MIT.
ACCESS RECORD →Bob Picks Up the Phone
After several weeks of back and forth with Twilio support, the Workloft voice line is finally live. Bob now answers the phone. A real conversation, in real time, in a voice closer to a person than a recording.
ACCESS RECORD →Gemini Managed Agents, wired into Ruby
Google shipped one-call managed agents at I/O 2026. We tested it, wired it into our model router, and saw three to eight times cost cuts on agentic tasks. Region caveats apply.
ACCESS RECORD →AgentPass V0.1: the verification primitive AI agents don't yet have
Published as an RFC on 3 May 2026. A Verifiable Credential profile that lets any verifier answer, in real time, whether an AI agent has standing to act in an institutional transaction. Single API call. Yes/no with cryptographic proof.
ACCESS RECORD →Sovereign by default: A2A v1.0 + AP2 V0.1 wired through the stack
Over 24 and 25 April we made every Workloft agent speak Google A2A v1.0 and issue AP2 V0.1 mandates. Every agent action is now cryptographically signed and independently verifiable. Verify it yourself at workloft.ai/verify.
