We wanted to expose a B2B intelligence platform built on more than one million company profiles to an LLM client through an MCP server so a user can ask “find SaaS companies in Germany with 50-200 employees” and receive results through the LLM client. The engineering problem was: How do you make that workflow useful without creating an unsafe bridge between an LLM and production data?

Michael Stiefel spoke to Baruch Sadogursky about software architecture in the age of agentic AI. LLM can function, albeit stochastically, as reasoning machines capable of interpreting human ambiguity. With the appropriate rigorous context artifacts to control the LLM’s reasoning, software specifications can become the source of truth, while the code becomes a disposable intermediate language.

Chris,
Thanks for making the November 2013 GatorJUG and OrlandoJUG meetings a success. Everyone liked your presentation and we learned a lot. I noticed more questions after your talk than in the majority of other presentations we've had. People were tuned in and listening. Spring *is* a big deal and you dissected it well. All the best, Michael
