Building agentic systems that autonomously learn, adapt, and improve in production
As we move from static automation to fluid autonomy, the way we architect software is fundamentally changing. Current "zero-shot" agent workflows are brittle; the future belongs to systems that learn, recover, and evolve in production.
Abstract
In this fireside chat, we will explore the "Messy Middle" of building coherent agentic platforms, looking at how trends like Test-Time Compute and End-to-End RL are redefining the stack. We will challenge the idea of software as a finished product, proposing instead that we must build "Alive Platforms", systems designed to improve without human intervention, where the true competitive moat is not the prompt, but the learning loop.
