The Production AI Stack: A Reference Architecture for Real-Time AI Systems
Customers could ask questions, check the status of an order, or begin a return without ever needing to speak with a human. Every interaction followed the same execution path. A customer asked a question, the agent queried the vector database for relevant context, waited several hundred milliseconds for the results to return, and only then could the model begin generating a response.

The system worked well. Customers could ask questions, check the status of an order, or begin a return without ever needing to speak with a human. The problem wasn't correctness. It was latency. Every interaction followed the same execution path.
