We’re letting AI answer business questions… But we don’t require proof? At Confoo, I’ll build an agentic research assistant that searches multiple sources and returns grounded, traceable answers. Because “trust me bro” isn’t an architecture 👉 Join me in Montreal: confoo.ca @confooca.bsky.social

Are we overcomplicating AI integration? Do we really need: - An SDK? - Extensions? - An Agent Framework? - Or just HttpClient? What’s your current approach? Next week I’ll be at confoo.ca (Feb 25–27) in Montreal presenting:
