Sprint Overview

Every sprint introduces one new engineering concept while producing a visible, working result. Rather than jumping directly into advanced AI topics, Charlie is built layer by layer, creating a platform whose internals are fully understood.

The following sections refer to Charlie’s state as of July 2026 (Sprint 5). They will be continuously updated.

Sprints

  • Sprint 1 — Engineering Setup
  • Sprint 2 — Building the Foundation
  • Sprint 3 — Modern AI Integration
  • Sprint 4 — From Chat to Platform
  • Sprint 5 — Document Processing in Charlie

More sprints will be added as Charlie continues to evolve.

Each article includes:

  • Architecture decisions
  • Technical explanations
  • Code examples
  • AI Engineering Insights
  • Lessons learned
