Your MCP Setup Is Eating Half Your Context. Here's the Fix.

I Built My Own AI Memory System. Here's What I Learned

AI forgets everything past its context window. And when it forgets, it starts making stuff up. I built SOKK, a career assistant that dropped hallucination from 24% to under 3% using dual-gate verification. Then I built UOCE, a context engine that reduced token usage by 67-95%. This episode breaks down the architecture, the research backing it, and what I'd do differently. If you work with LLMs, this might change how you think about memory.

How We Built an AI Waste Classifier to Solve a $640B Problem

Four devs. Four months. One $640 billion problem. We built an AI waste classification app for California's SB 1383 compliance. In this episode: why context engineering beats prompt engineering, the CapacitorJS tradeoffs nobody warns you about, building an AI assistant that isn't ChatGPT slop, and how gamification actually got people to care about recycling. Honest takes on what broke, what worked, and why we're not making this a startup.

Vibe Coding Won't Make Your Product Stand Out. Here's What Will.

You're paying for AI. Of course you want it to be magic. That psychology is the trap.In this episode:• Why 82% of AI sites look identical (the slop epidemic)• The hierarchy that actually works: specialized solutions first, AI as leverage• Real proof: how we transformed a generic Next.js site into a trust-building asset

Your MCP Setup Is Eating Half Your Context. Here's the Fix.

MCP integrations were eating 30-50% of context window before you could even type. Sessions dying every 10-15 minutes. We tried everything. Skills, code execution wrappers, universal configs. Nothing worked.Claude Code just shipped Tool Search. It loads MCP tools on-demand now. Zero context cost until you actually need them.In this episode:• Why MCP was a context tax• What we tried (and why it failed)• How Tool Search works• The fix if it's not enabled yetConnect everything. No penalty anymore.

Google Doesn't Want You to Shop Anymore: UCP Explained

Google just announced the Universal Commerce Protocol at NRF 2026. Most headlines are calling it an "AI shopping assistant." But here's what I see: Google is building the toll booth of the entire internet economy. In this episode, I break down what UCP actually is, why Amazon and Apple aren't on board, the 24% trust problem Google is betting billions to solve, and what this means for consumers and businesses. Would you let AI buy things for you?
