+## The Setup: A Blogging Platform
 
-We'll use a microblogging platform built on Go Micro with four services as a demo:
+We'll use a blogging platform as our example — inspired by [micro/blog](https://github.com/micro/blog), a real microblogging platform built on Go Micro with four domains:
 
 - **Users** — signup, login, profiles
 - **Posts** — blog posts with markdown, tags, link previews
 - **Comments** — threaded comments on posts
 - **Mail** — internal messaging
 
-These services exist today. They were built for human users interacting through a web UI. No one was thinking about AI agents when they were written.
+### A Note on Architecture
+
+Go Micro has always been a framework for building **multi-service, multi-process** systems. The [micro/blog](https://github.com/micro/blog) platform is a great example — each service runs as its own binary, communicates over RPC, and is independently deployable. If that's what you're after, check it out.
+
+For this walkthrough, we take a different approach: a **modular monolith**. All four domains live in a single process. This is a perfectly valid starting point — you get the clean separation of handler interfaces without the operational overhead of multiple services. And because Go Micro's handler registration works the same way in both models, you can break these out into separate services later as your team or requirements grow. No rewrite needed.
