Architecture in the age of AI

Software Stopped Obeying

A CTO’s guide to designing AI systems that are smart, governable and profitable, with the Microsoft stack as the reference.

For the first time we are putting at the centre of our systems a component that never answers the same way twice. This book gathers the criteria for designing with it: how much autonomy to give an agent and on what evidence, where to draw the trust boundary, how to measure what we used to merely test, and what a conversation really costs.

  • RAG, agents, MCP and A2A you can operate and audit
  • Security, governance and regulation —the EU AI Act and Latin America— designed in from the architecture
  • Evaluation, observability and LLMOps: measuring what we used to merely test
  • What a conversation really costs, and the levers to bring it down
  • A reference architecture on Microsoft Foundry, Copilot Studio, Agent Framework, Fabric, Entra and Purview

AI and automation for OHS, quality and compliance

Paperless Compliance

A CTO’s guide to turning your OHS management system, quality and regulatory compliance into traceable data, with Microsoft 365 as the reference and AI under human control.

The management system exists, it is documented and it passes audits, but it lives in folders, emails and spreadsheets nobody cross-checks. It complies, but it does not prevent. This book is for whoever signs the annual work plan and for the IT lead who has to support them: you do not need to code, you need to know your management system.

  • Reading the standard like a requirements analyst, and digital evidence in front of the auditor and the judge
  • A reference architecture for an OHS management system on Microsoft 365, with its data model
  • Living risk matrices, incident investigation and continuous auditing, process by process
  • AI that reads, sorts, suggests and alerts; the decision and the signature stay with a competent person
  • From the binder to the system in 180 days, with templates and a regulatory map
