AI Agents & Automation

KP Journal Applied research
in AI agent systems and automation engineering

Most failures in LLM-based systems — tool-calling instability, context window pressure, retrieval latency that breaks user experience — are predictable and documented. We publish the engineering analysis of these problems, and work directly with teams that need to solve them.

What we do

Services for teams building with AI

We help organizations understand where AI agents fit — and where they don't. Our work is diagnostic and content-driven, not implementation vendor work.

Process Readiness Audit

A structured review of your current workflows to identify which processes are actually candidates for AI augmentation — and which aren't.

Technical AI Product Audit

An independent technical review of an AI-based product or feature — covering architecture, prompt design, failure modes, and risk areas.

White Papers & Technical Content

Long-form technical writing for companies that need credible content — white papers, implementation guides, and deep-dive articles for technical audiences.

Perspectives from people who've worked with us

"We came in expecting the audit to confirm what we already planned to build. It didn't. James walked through our document ingestion pipeline and identified two steps we'd assumed were automatable but actually required judgment calls that no current LLM handles reliably at our error tolerance. We deprioritised both. That reallocation probably recovered four to six weeks of engineering time we'd have spent on the wrong thing."

"KP Journal is one of the few places writing about AI agents for people who are actually building them, not evaluating whether to. The article on context window management was the one that hit hardest — specifically the distinction between gradual quality degradation and silent tool-result dropout. We were monitoring for the first and missing the second entirely. We added validation checks on tool-result carryover across turns in our categorization pipeline, and caught two failure patterns that had been running undetected in production for weeks. That's a direct operational outcome from reading an article."

"We commissioned a white paper on agentic document processing for a technical buying audience — architects and senior engineers who would immediately notice if something was abstracted beyond usefulness. The KP Journal team got the architecture section right on the first draft, including the retrieval boundary and audit trail framing. We did one revision round on the compliance language, which they turned around in under 48 hours without losing the technical register. We've used other content vendors for this kind of material."
