Raghav Maini

I’m Raghav Maini, a software engineer in New York City focused on applied AI and agentic systems. I studied Computer Science and Business at the University of Michigan, and my background spans cloud infrastructure and startups.

Before I add an agent to a product, I want to know what judgment it’s supposed to exercise and how we’ll tell whether it’s doing a useful job. That informs how I approach agent architecture and evaluation, especially where the system has to revise a recommendation as new evidence arrives.

You can read my essays on my personal site and Substack. A recent piece, Your AI should be a difficult customer, explores shopping agents and whose interests they represent.
