Which notes are on page 14 of Will's Journal?
AI Agents RAG That Does Not Lie: Retrieval Contracts for Business Knowledge
Retrieval is search, not truth. Production RAG needs corpus rules, citations, refuse-on-empty, and contradiction handling — or the agent invents policy.
AI Agents LangGraph vs CrewAI vs a Custom Loop: Choose Control, Not Fashion
Choose LangGraph, CrewAI, or a custom loop by control and durability, then prove the pick on one golden set and a fixed cost band—not fashion rankings.
Websites Lighthouse 90+ Without Killing the Design
Keep cinema-grade brand design and still hit strong Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals on real phones. Treat 90 as a tradeoff, not a chase for a perfect 100.
Websites Is autoplay hero video bad for Core Web Vitals
Autoplay hero video is often bad for Core Web Vitals. Poster must win LCP, muted is not a pass, and phones must not download the loop if p75 is to hold.
AI Visibility From Knowledge Panel to Model Memory: Owning Your Brand Facts
A knowledge panel is a Google Search card. An AI entity is the fact cluster models retrieve and recite. Own one corroborated packet so both stay accurate.
Automation Staging for n8n: Prove Failure Cases Before Customers Feel Them
n8n has no built-in staging env — use a second instance or project, separate credentials, pinned data, and a promotion checklist before production edits.
AI Visibility AEO vs SEO: Same Crawl, Different Scoreboard
No — AEO is not SEO renamed. Shared crawl work still matters; the scoreboard shifts from rank and CTR to citations, share of voice, and answer accuracy.
Automation Human-in-the-Loop Approvals That Do Not Become Bottlenecks
One-click n8n approvals with full context and a published SLA: gate money, customer contact, and deletes so ops stays a decision queue, not a Slack graveyard.
AI Agents Agent Memory Patterns: What to Persist, What to Forget
Agent memory is three stores, not a bigger window: working dies with the run, episodic is searchable history, and the store holds approved facts only.
Websites Put Merch Where Checkout Wins — Keep Brand Where Fans Decide
Put merch checkout on Shopify where carts and drops win; keep the artist website as the brand surface where fans decide who you are before they buy anything.
AI Visibility Content Clusters Built for AI Visibility, Not Just Rankings
AEO clusters map a buyer question family to one pillar and distinct-intent spokes, written answer-first so models can cite a URL — not just rank a keyword.
AI Agents Golden Sets from Production Failures: Turn Bad Runs into Regression Fuel
Turn a bad production agent run into a regression test: harvest the trace, stub the tools, write the expected terminal, and gate deploys on that fixture.
