Real-world notes on voice agents, RAG, autonomous systems, and the trade-offs that matter when AI meets production.
Side-by-side comparison of the three leading voice AI platforms in 2026 — latency, languages, pricing, integrations, and what we ship in production at Ikki.
How to ship a Retrieval-Augmented Generation system that actually works for SMBs — chunking, embeddings, evaluation, and the mistakes that cost us six weeks.
Real-world numbers from voice AI projects we shipped: build cost, monthly run cost, hidden expenses, and how to avoid common pricing traps.
What we learned shipping voice agents, RAG platforms, fintech engines, civic AI, and immersive web — the patterns that worked, the ones that didn't, and the things nobody told us.
How we shipped a voice agent that pre-qualifies care workers — architecture, pitfalls, the prompt that finally worked, and the production numbers.
After shipping seven AI products, here's the architecture we converged on — Nuxt 4 + Fastify + MongoDB — and why it beats Next.js, Astro, and SvelteKit for our use case.
