Building autonomous AI agents. Notes from the team building Gravity. AI workflows, the future of recurring work, and what we learn along the way.
OpenAI and Anthropic are the two labs most cited when people argue about where AI agents are heading. They share a lot. Both build frontier models, both let those models call tools, and both have moved toward agents…

Most people who ask how accurate their AI agent is are really asking the wrong question. They reach for a model benchmark number, a leaderboard score, a percentage from a vendor deck. None of that tells you whether…

Your agent worked yesterday. Then someone tightened a prompt, the model provider shipped an update, or a tool changed its output format, and now it quietly fails one in five of the cases it used to handle. Nobody saw…

You can score AI agent output quality four main ways, and most teams end up using a blend. Rubric-based scoring rates each output against named dimensions on a fixed scale. LLM-as-judge uses a strong model to apply…

The big shift in AI agent pricing for 2026 is this: the per-seat subscription, the model that built modern SaaS, is losing its grip. When software was a tool a person operated, charging per login made sense. Agents…

You just got off a good sales call. The prospect leaned in, raised one real objection, and agreed to a next step. Then the next call starts, the day fills up, and by evening the follow-up is a vague intention instead…

Recurring client check-ins are the work that keeps relationships warm and accounts from quietly slipping away. The problem is rarely the message itself. It is the prep behind it: pulling up what the client has been…

Most teams decide an agent is "ready" by trying it a few times and getting a good feeling. That is how a demo passes and production fails. An evaluation framework replaces the gut call with a repeatable process: you…

If you want citable numbers on AI agent adoption, the honest starting point is this: the curve is steep, but the figures depend heavily on how each survey defines an "agent." The baseline is now near-universal.…

You changed the prompt, swapped the model, or added a tool, and now you want to know if the new agent is actually better. The honest answer is that you cannot know from a few hand-checked examples. Agent behavior…

The weekly team meeting, the biweekly project sync, the monthly leadership review: these standing meetings are where a lot of work is steered, and where the record is usually worst. Someone takes notes one week,…

Payroll is the one process where a small input error becomes a personal problem for someone on your team. A missed timesheet, a new hire who was not added, a raise that did not carry over, and a paycheck is wrong,…

The month-end close is rarely hard accounting. It is mostly coordination: forty small tasks across a few people, each waiting on a document, a reconciliation, or someone else finishing their part. The work that slows…

Everyone agrees the CRM should be up to date, and almost nobody keeps it that way. After a good call you mean to log the next steps, bump the deal stage, and note that the buyer mentioned a budget freeze until Q3,…

Every close has a stack of journal entries that look the same month after month. The rent prepayment gets amortized, the unpaid wages get accrued, the new laptop starts depreciating, and a handful of costs get…

The monthly reporting pack eats a day that could be spent thinking about the business. Someone exports the trial balance, rebuilds the same profit-and-loss summary, updates the cash slide, recalculates the variance…

Approving expense reports is a manager's least favourite recurring task. Most submissions are fine, so the work is mostly opening each one, scanning for a missing receipt or an obvious breach, and clicking approve,…

Action items are where good meetings go to die. The discussion is sharp, the decisions are made, three people leave with clear tasks, and within a week two of those tasks have evaporated because nobody held the list.…

Money owed to you does not collect itself. Invoices go out, due dates pass, and the polite reminders that would bring the cash in get pushed down the list behind work that feels more urgent. Weeks later you have a…

Accounts payable is a queue that never empties. Bills arrive by email, by portal, and as attachments buried in threads. Someone has to read each one, key in the vendor and amount, check it against what was ordered,…

A while back I wrote a short reflection after a few hundred posts. We are now somewhere around 500. That number still feels strange to type, because almost nobody has read most of them yet. We are pre-launch, the…

This blog publishes a lot. If you have read more than a couple of posts here, you have probably wondered how a pre-launch startup ships this much without the writing turning to mush. The honest answer is that there…

I am Aryan, and I am building Gravity from Bangalore. This is the June 2026 retro, written the way I want to remember the month: honestly, in the open, before the polish sets in. Gravity is still pre-launch. There is…

I want to be honest about where we are. Gravity is pre-launch, and the way we work with builders is early and still moving. So this is not a victory lap. It is a founder reflection on what we have learned designing…

Booking a trip well is a tab-refreshing chore. You compare a dozen fares, keep checking whether the price dropped, weigh a cheaper flight against a brutal layover, and then double-check it all fits the budget and, if…

A clean set of books rarely stays clean by itself. A vendor gets entered twice, an office lunch lands in the wrong expense account, a payment is recorded as $1,500 instead of $150, and none of it announces itself. By…

A busy season is won or lost in the weeks before it starts. Order too little of the right item and you stock out at the peak, watching customers buy from someone else. Order too much of the wrong item and you sit on…

The week before a big conference is its own kind of work. You scroll a hundred-session agenda, guess which talks matter, dig up who you are meeting, and try to book coffees before every slot fills. Most of it gets…

Once a year, most people resolve to figure out where their money is quietly leaking. Then they open their card statement, see a wall of merchant names, and close it again. The subscriptions you forgot, the free trial…

Becoming a Gravity builder means one clear thing: you build expert agents to Gravity's quality bar, and Gravity then runs those agents for users and pays you to build and maintain them. You are not setting up a…
