The best AI systems aren’t the flashiest, they’re the ones that never break.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how most AI systems, agencies fail, not because the tech isn’t good enough, but because the systems around them aren’t solid.

The best automations I’ve seen (and built) aren’t the most complex ones.

They’re the ones designed with reliability in mind:→ clear logic→ good error handling→ clean data flow→ and enough flexibility to evolve without breaking.

Too many builders obsess over making things “smarter” instead of making them simpler and stronger AI doesn’t need to be fancy, it needs to be dependable.

Curious to hear from others: What’s one principle you always follow when designing reliable AI workflows?
