Keeping up with U.S. tariff changes has become a full-time job for freight forwarders and customs brokers — and the pace is not slowing down. Wove, an Atlanta-based startup, has built AI-driven tooling that monitors the Federal Register and automatically updates client systems when new tariff rules are published. Its tariff calculator, which has drawn thousands of weekly users, is free to access. freightwaves.com/news/wove-s…

🚨 The White House just imposed an additional 50% duty on Canadian alcohol, dairy & auto goods under Section 338 — a rarely used provision. Effective Aug 19. Wove’s tariff engine was first in the world to reflect it. Check your exposure free at tariffs.wove.com

A Cursor agent deleted a production database last month. Replit’s did the same to another company during a code freeze. Every time one of these hits HN, a wave of CTOs quietly ban AI agents from prod. We think that’s the wrong lesson. 🧵

Read-only enforced at the DB layer, not the app layer. A structured query DSL instead of raw SQL. Row caps, timeouts, full audit logs, 15-min tokens. Not novel primitives. Just applied correctly to a problem most teams are solving with “give the agent psql and hope.”

On Friday, SCOTUS struck down IEEPA tariffs 6-3. No refund guidance yet. CBP hasn't defined the process. But one thing is clear: importers will need audit-ready documentation. Entry by entry. HTS code by HTS code. We spent the weekend building the tool. 🧵
