Want to Know How Our Engineering and Product Teams Build?

Abnormal's engineers and product teams are pulling back the curtain on how we're fighting cybercrime with AI, AI-natively.

Want to Know How Our Engineering and Product Teams Build?

Most companies will tell you they're "AI-forward" or "building with AI." They'll show you what they've made, maybe even demo it for you. We wanted to give a deeper look at how our engineering and product teams actually work, so you can see not just what we’re building, but how we’re doing it, AI-natively, to fight cybercrime with AI. 

Here's a first look, straight from the people solving hard problems every day - and check out our new blog, Abnormal Builders, for more in-depth technical stories.

Hear from Jethro Kuan and Priya Kamdar on:

  • Why complex AI agents fail in ways a simple chatbot never does, and why that failure gets more expensive as agents get more capable

  • What happened every time a single step broke deep into a long agent run, before this fix

  • How Abnormal rebuilt its platform so a failure doesn't erase everything that came before it

  • What changed for other teams building agents once recovery stopped being something they had to solve on their own

  • Exactly how much wasted work disappeared once this shipped

Hear from Udayan Sarin and Meera Ramakrishnan on:

  • Why the attacks with no link or attachment to catch are often the hardest to detect at all

  • The tradeoff between fast and accurate that forces most companies to only check the riskiest-looking messages

  • How a 128MB model was taught to make the same judgment calls as one many times its size

  • How close that smaller model actually came to matching it

  • What that means for coverage across every message Abnormal sees, not a sample

Hear from Michel Chatmajian on:

  • Why a passing test and a green checkmark don't actually prove a change works

  • What Abnormal's agents now have to show before a pull request can merge

  • How engineers built a way to generate that kind of proof hundreds of times a day

  • What a "testbox" actually is and why they had to invent it

  • How much faster this is than a normal deploy cycle
