From Pilot Purgatory to Production: The Agentic AI Playbook
About this session
Most enterprises have an agentic AI pilot. Few have one in production. The gap isn't the technology - it's the architecture decisions made before anyone asked "what happens when this fails at scale?" This session draws from real enterprise deployments across cloud environments to break down what separates agentic AI systems that survive contact with production from those that don't. We'll cover multi-agent orchestration patterns, RAG pipeline design for reliability, and the guardrails that actually hold when agents have real tool access and real consequences. Practical, architecture-first, and vendor-agnostic. No demos that only work on localhost.
Speaker
Key takeaways
- A repeatable framework for evaluating which enterprise workflows are genuinely agent-ready vs. premature automation
- The critical architecture decisions — scoped tool permissions, memory design, fallback handling — that determine production viability
- Practical observability and governance patterns for agentic systems in regulated enterprise environments
