Everett Zufelt | Agentic AI, Composable Architecture & Accessibility

About

I work at the intersection of agentic AI, composable architecture, and accessibility — currently as VP of Agentic Systems at Orium (opens in new tab) and Program Lead for the Agent Ecosystem at MACH Alliance (opens in new tab). This page tracks my writing across industry sites, partner blogs, and my LinkedIn profile (opens in new tab).

Before You Give an Agent the Keys (opens in new tab)
Agentic AI · July 6, 2026
Agentic AI security isn't a problem to be solved but a balance to be struck: anything that can act can act wrongly, so organizations need to calibrate each agent's autonomy to the damage it could cause. The piece identifies six areas where that tradeoff concentrates — credentials, data flow inspection, tool access, host isolation, review processes, and data retention — and argues that instrumentation and human accountability have to back up the technical controls.
Trusting Agent-Driven Delivery in Production (opens in new tab)
Agentic AI · July 3, 2026
Agent-driven software delivery shows real promise but keeps stalling in practice, and the fix isn't a better model. The path to trustworthy, production-ready output is removing friction from the delivery lifecycle: documenting conventions, building sandboxes, automating checks, and giving teams clear visibility into what agents changed and why.

A Better Search Bar, or a Relationship? (opens in new tab)
Agentic AI · June 29, 2026
Shopping agents are being built almost entirely around product discovery, but that undersells what they could be. Extending agents past checkout into onboarding, problem resolution, and ongoing personalized recommendations is what turns a one-time transaction into a lasting customer relationship.

The First Wave of Agentic AI Is Already in Production (opens in new tab)
Agentic AI, Composable Architecture · May 7, 2026
Five enterprises have already moved AI agents into production with measurable results, and the pattern cuts against conventional wisdom: the biggest wins came from narrowly targeting specific operational bottlenecks, not from obvious use cases like chatbots. Composable, API-first infrastructure and tightly scoped starting points were common to every success story.

Building the Agent Ecosystem: How We're Learning Together (opens in new tab)
Agentic AI · April 9, 2026
MACH Alliance's Agent Ecosystem initiative brings enterprises, practitioners, and technology partners together to build enterprise AI solutions collaboratively rather than in isolation. The program is organized around four themes — engagement, awareness, solution demonstrations, and trust-signal creation — with separate participation paths for business leaders and technical architects.

Competitive Compression: The New Race for Execution Capacity (opens in new tab)
Agentic AI · March 13, 2026
Agentic AI is compressing the gap between intent and action, and that speed is becoming the new competitive battleground. Organizations with strong internal structure can turn that compression into an advantage, while those with fragmented processes will find their weak points exposed faster than ever.
