Bring Your Own AI
If the application owns the semantics, why does it also need to own the intelligence? Welcome agents as first-class users: the application becomes stable, the intelligence becomes portable.
Hi, I'm Luc Bocahut. I'm a systems architect: I design and build software meant to run for years, from trading infrastructure to personal agents. The ideas here are not commentary; they emerge from building products and running them in production. More about how I think.
Ideas
Ludicrous Speed
How we build products at Commons now. Ideas become issues, agents turn them into merged, deployed software, and the default state is shipping.
A regeneration essay
A longer companion to the manifesto on regenerative software.
Selected Projects
Anton
Family logistics scatter across apps, inboxes, and memory; Anton is a personal agent OS that runs them in production from hardware at home.
Encrypted Energy
Running Lightning nodes means reacting to events no one is watching for; a node manager UI with webhook-driven event and command handling.
Kelbongoo Market
A community grocer's shoppers lost track of their cart between categories; a continuous-scroll shop that keeps the cart in view without page reloads.
SGP Déblais
The Grand Paris Metro excavates earth at 60+ stations over 13 years, and every load must be traced; an isomorphic web app tracks it all.
Cavalry Operate
Cavalry's operators needed one surface to run prospect pipelines, customer health, and outbound; Operate was that dashboard.
Tiverton Trade Report
Every trade has to reconcile against the broker's version of the truth; Tiverton's reporting and reconciliation pipeline, still running 20+ years on.
