The Dark Factory

Notes on agents, accountability, memory, and decision layers, from building and running 200+ AI agents in production as CDLTO at Asymbl.

The Dark Factory is his writing home. It covers how agents get context, who reviews their output, where memory lives, and how a business names the owner of a decision.

What it covers

The newsletter is about digital labor that stays in production. Agents need context. Someone has to review their output. Memory has to live somewhere a later run can find. A business has to name the owner of a decision.

Shivanath Devinarayanan is Chief Digital Labor and Technology Officer at Asymbl, founder of Mindcat, and a Salesforce MVP Hall of Fame member. He runs 200+ production agents across recruiting, sales, legal review, and operations, including MuleSoft Agent Fabric. Slack is where humans and agents already talk.
