How AI products come to life—straight from the builders themselves. In each episode, we dive deep into how teams spotted a customer problem, experimented with AI, prototyped solutions, and shipped real features. We dig into everything from workflows and agents to RAG and evaluation strategies, and explore how their products keep evolving. If you’re building with AI, these are the stories for you.

Building Alyx: How Arize AI Dogfooded Its Way to an Agentic Future
What does it really take to build an AI agent inside an AI platform—especially when you’re using that same platform to build the agent?
In this episode of Just Now Possible, Teresa Torres talks with SallyAnn DeLucia (Director of Product at Arize) and Jack Zhou (Staff Engineer at Arize) about the journey of building Alyx, their AI agent designed to help teams debug, optimize, and evaluate AI applications.
They share the scrappy beginnings—Jupyter notebooks, hacked-together web apps, and weekly dogfooding sessions with their customer success team—and the hard-earned lessons about evals, tool design, and how to prioritize early skills. Along the way, you’ll hear how cross-functional experience, intuition-building, and customer insight shaped Alyx into a product that’s now central to the Arize platform.
If you’ve ever wondered how to move from vibe checks and one-off prototypes to systematic improvement in your AI product, this episode is for you.
