Field notes
The control plane, written down.
Five notes adapted from the personal LinkedIn posts that drew the most public reactions. Each one is rewritten to the product we ship now, with the film that belongs next to it.
Control plane
The wild west of agents is a control-plane problem
Shipping agents fast is a productivity win until identity, scope, and the bill are nobody’s job.
Platform
A production API layer, not a second Foundry
Foundry keeps the models. Kimss keeps the registry, the identity, and the gate.
Shadow agents
Count the agents. Then count the rows.
The gap between those two numbers is the shadow-agent problem. The inventory only includes traffic you route.
Identity
The hard part is not the model
A shared key works until the first weekend spike. Then nobody can say who called.
Gateway
One line to the gateway
Point the client at api.kimss.ai. The kill switch is free. Scrubbing secrets is not.
