Straight answers. Including the inconvenient parts.

Each page answers one question in the first paragraph, then says under what conditions the answer holds, where it breaks, and which part stays a human decision. That last section is the one worth reading.

Production AI engineering

What is a production-grade AI agent?

A production-grade AI agent is one you can operate, not just demonstrate. It has an evaluation suite built from real cases, guardrails at input, tool call and output, tracing that makes an incident diagnosable, a tested rollback for prompts and models, and a named owner with a runbook.

AI agent, chatbot or workflow automation: which one do you need?

Use workflow automation when the path is fixed and the inputs are structured. Use a retrieval assistant when the job is answering questions from known content. Use an agent only when the work needs judgement across several systems and the path varies by case, because that is the only situation where its extra cost and failure modes are worth carrying.

Can AI reconcile bank statements with invoices?

Yes, for the mechanical majority where amount, date and reference agree, and for many ambiguous cases such as one payment settling several invoices or a customer short-paying after deducting TDS. It should propose rather than post: the workable pattern is an agent that attaches its evidence and a human who approves anything above an agreed threshold.

What must stay human-approved in AI bookkeeping?

Anything that is a judgement rather than a match: writing off a balance, accepting a short payment as final, classifying an unusual expense, agreeing a related-party treatment, and every statutory filing. The agent should prepare each of these with its evidence attached and stop, rather than deciding and reporting.

How can NBFCs use AI in underwriting without losing auditability?

By separating assembly from decision. An agent can ingest the file, ground every claim in a cited page and recommend a review tier, which is where most of the elapsed time sits. The credit decision stays a human action, and the log retains model version, prompt version, retrieved evidence and the officer's decision together.

What compliance controls should a WhatsApp collections agent have?

Recorded consent, an allowed-channel list, contact frequency caps, permitted contact hours, immediate and permanent stop on dispute or opt-out, and human escalation on hardship signals. All of these belong in the send path as blocking checks, not in a monthly report that discovers the breach afterwards.

How do multilingual voice agents handle Hindi-English code-switching?

By treating a mixed utterance as normal input rather than as a recognition error. The speech layer has to be configured or trained for code-switched speech, and the agent should settle on one output language rather than mirroring every switch, which is what callers consistently report as the more natural experience.
