Agentic AI: An Architecture Blueprint for Intelligent Clients (Mon, 02 Mar 2026)
This article outlines an agentic AI architecture for Android clients, where on-device agents perceive context, reason over user goals, and coordinate with cloud services. It details patterns for secure orchestration, offline resilience, and explainable decisions, enabling intelligent Android apps that can adapt, personalize, and act autonomously while preserving user trust. Why Agentic AI on Android? Most Android apps today are still “screen and API” applications: they render views, call REST endpoints, and wait for the backend to decide everything important. Even when we bolt on AI—say, a chatbot or autocomplete — it’s usually a single LLM call hidden behind a button.

Code Rewriting With AI and TDD (Mon, 02 Mar 2026)
This is a report on how we used an AI editor, CursorAI, to rewrite a project. We will describe the context and explain how we leveraged existing tests to develop a new version of the tool we were using. This is not a simple success story. We'll try to explain our approach and the pitfalls we experienced, along with the different cases of hallucinations we encountered, and how our salvation is the attention we have and the reliance on our tests. We hope to give you an example of how rewriting code using AI can take place. It is also a reflection on how we can leverage old code and tests to ensure this success.

Mastering the AWS Well-Architected AI Stack: A Deep Dive into ML, GenAI, and Sustainability Lenses (Fri, 27 Feb 2026)
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) shifts from experimental prototypes to mission-critical production systems, the complexity of managing these workloads has grown exponentially. Organizations no longer just need models that work; they need systems that are secure, cost-effective, reliable, and sustainable. To address this, AWS has expanded its Well-Architected Framework with specialized "Lenses." For technical architects and lead engineers, three lenses are now critical: the Machine Learning (ML) Lens, the Generative AI Lens, and the Sustainability Lens.
