Backend engineer
learning to build
reliable agents.

I'm Ayush Nautiyal. For the last three years I've shipped multi-tenant SaaS, payment systems, and orchestration infra. Now I'm building helpdesk-ai, an open-source, multi-tenant AI support agent, to learn agent engineering the way it's actually practiced.

helpdesk-ai

A production-grade, multi-tenant AI support agent. Not a chatbot — a full agent system that searches your docs, reasons over them, and cites sources. Features: tool-calling agent loop with RAG, SSE streaming, per-tenant isolation (prompts, knowledge base, token limits), admin dashboard with real-time usage tracking, prompt versioning, and conversation transcripts.

Currently working on: evaluation suite (golden datasets + LLM-as-judge), human-in-the-loop handoff with confidence scoring, and Langfuse observability integration.
