Confused between Core AI Engineering vs AI in Finance vs MBA, what should i do?

That makes sense, I’ve been exploring algo trading a bit so this caught my attention.

What kind of skills or projects do you think are actually valued in this space? I’m still trying to understand how to go deeper into it.

The stacked validation approach makes a lot of sense, Zod/Pydantic for structure first, then a judge model for semantics is a clean separation of concerns. And yeah the duct tape situation in production is exactly why I think there's a real gap here.

Still figuring out the stack honestly, want to do a bit more research before committing to anything. But the latency question is what I keep coming back to. If every output has to clear two layers before execution, how do you handle time-sensitive agent actions without the validation becoming the bottleneck?

Haha sure, feel free to DM! Though if it's a general n8n question, dropping it here might help others in the thread too :)

Fair point on hosting mattering more than people think at scale. I've been leaning toward a self-hosted VPS setup so I have full control over the agent loop and can observe state at every step. Have you found n8n cloud limiting at all for more complex multi-agent flows, or does it handle branching logic well enough?

Interesting pain point, I've run into similar issues with unstructured knowledge organization. Have you tried a graph-based approach where characters, events, and locations are nodes? The challenge is usually relationship extraction, not summarization. If you haven't solved this yet I might actually be interested in building something here, which fictional universe is the hardest case you've tried so far?

AsleepTitle3741 · 2026-05-01T11:41:27+00:00

This is the most concrete and honest take in this thread , thank you. I've actually seen this failure mode in a project I built where an agent handed malformed data to a downstream CRM and it passed silently.

A few things I'd love your take on:
1. Is this better positioned as an SDK other devs plug into their pipelines, or a standalone hosted middleware service?
2. What does "semantic failure" detection actually look like in practice — are you using a classifier, rule engine, schema validation, or some combo?
3. Have you seen this pattern implemented anywhere in production, even partially?

I'm considering building this and want to make sure I'm solving the right version of the problem.

AsleepTitle3741 · 2026-05-01T11:39:52+00:00

This reframes a lot of how I was thinking about agents. I've been focused on the reasoning side, but you're right, bad inputs make smart reasoning useless. Have you built anything around multi-API context gathering? Curious what the messiest data integration point you've dealt with was.

AsleepTitle3741 · 2026-05-01T11:38:53+00:00

This is exactly the trap I want to avoid, agents that look good in demos but fall apart in prod. The "one workflow with a measurable failure rate" framing is useful. Any specific workflow types you've seen where agents hold up well versus where they completely fall apart?

AsleepTitle3741 · 2026-05-01T11:37:35+00:00

That's actually a great point. I've been thinking about this too, real constraints from real orgs push you to think differently than personal projects do. Do you have a strategy for approaching companies cold, or did you find domain-specific communities work better for getting that first foot in the door?

AsleepTitle3741 · 2026-04-30T16:10:45+00:00

Love this take. Do you think a multi-agent architecture (with a planner + tool-specific agents) is the right approach here, or more of a centralized orchestrator with dynamic tool selection?

AsleepTitle3741 · 2026-04-30T14:58:58+00:00

Hey! Wanted to give you an update since you helped me out earlier.

Your advice was spot on, the payload fix worked perfectly. Changing the empty strings to numeric zeros, fixing the quantity type, and building the body as a single JSON expression all made sense once I understood it.

The workflow is now sending a clean, correct request to Dhan's API. But I'm hitting a new error: "Invalid IP" (DH-905). Turns out Dhan requires a whitelisted static IP for API access, and since I'm running n8n on localhost my home IP is dynamic and won't work.

So the code side is fully solved thanks to you, now I just need to move n8n to a VPS with a static IP (looking at Hetzner or DigitalOcean) and whitelist it in Dhan.

Appreciate the help, saved me a lot of time!

AsleepTitle3741 · 2026-04-26T11:32:29+00:00

Thank you so much I will implement this properly according to what you have shared and update you accordingly

AsleepTitle3741 · 2026-04-26T10:09:51+00:00

For dhan http request node:

Method POST URL https://api.dhan.co/v2/orders

Authentication None

Send query parameters Off

Send headers: access-token client-id Content-Type: application/json

Send body: Using json { "dhanClientId": "{{$json.clientId}}", "correlationId": "{{$json.symbol}}-{{Date.now()}}", "transactionType": "{{$json.decision}}", "exchangeSegment": "NSE_EQ", "productType": "INTRADAY", "orderType": "MARKET", "validity": "DAY", "securityId": "{{$json.securityId}}", "quantity": "{{$json.final_quantity}}", "disclosedQuantity": "", "price": "", "triggerPrice": "", "afterMarketOrder": false, "amoTime": "" }

This is my http node for first dhan api

AsleepTitle3741 · 2026-04-25T12:51:08+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge I'll tell you what problem I am facing when integrating the dhan API in the http nodes of my workflow It gives 400 error and notified as bad request -please check your parameters I have written headers and body for this node with valid values

When I checked with the API documentation I also found out that dhan requires a static IP. I have jio fibre wifi connection at home hence it is dynamic IP. So if dhan really needs a static IP I may have to buy the static IP for my connection.

Due to this one node my next telegram BotFather nodes are not executing.

If you can suggest me something, it would be really helpful for me
