This blog was originally published on Descope. OpenAI's Custom GPTs offer a powerful way to create AI agents that can interact directly with your APIs through natural language conversations. Imagine you have a deployed FastAPI application that implements DevOps tools such as triggering CI/CD workflows, getting deployment logs, usage analytics, and other operational tasks. While integrating your AP
It's 3am UTC. Someone in your Discord pastes a transaction hash and the message: "did i just get drained??" What happens next is mechanical. A moderator opens the block explorer, scrolls past gas limits and method calls and log topics, decodes the transfer, translates 0xa9059cbb into "this was an ERC20 transfer," cross-references the destination address, then types something like "looks like you s
Most agency onboarding fails before the kickoff call happens. Not because the team isn't good. Not because the client is difficult. Because nobody collected the right context upfront, and the kickoff call becomes the place where everyone discovers what they don't know yet. The intake form is the fix.

If you've worked with Drupal long enough, you've faced this decision: Do I build a custom module for this or can ECA handle it? Use ECA When The logic is workflow-based Non-developers need to maintain it ECA workflows live in the admin UI. Your client or site admin can read, modify, and debug them without touching code. A custom module cannot offer that. Speed matters A workflow that would tak
Harbor cities understand accumulated risk. Cargo moves in quietly. Weather shifts by degrees. One bad assumption can sit unnoticed until it reaches critical mass. Halifax has lived with that kind of memory for more than a century. On December 6, 1917, a collision in Halifax Harbor triggered the largest man-made explosion prior to the atomic bomb, a disaster that directly changed the lives of over
