- 0:00 All right.
- 0:01 So we built an agent.
- 0:02 You launched it.
- 0:03 Everything works pretty well in the demo.
- 0:05 Everyone is happy.
- 0:06 But now let me ask you a few simple questions.
- 0:09 So how do you know if it's actually working out there?
- 0:12 How do you watch across hundreds or thousands of real conversations every day?
- 0:16 How do you feel or understand the health of the system?
- 0:20 How do you make it better?
- 0:21 How do you find the holes that you don't know are there yet?
- 0:24 And that's the thing, right?
- 0:25 So most of the talks about the agents end up the moment when you ship.
- 0:29 So we built it, it worked, the end.
- 0:31 But I think the shipping is the moment when the real work begins.
- 0:35 And somehow only a few people are talking about that, and I'm calling it a missing layer.
- 0:40 So let's dive into it.
- 0:42 So that's the world that we are living.
- 0:44 So you can create the whole product.
- 0:46 You can create a whole startup in a couple of days, in a couple of weeks.
- 0:49 You can write hundreds of thousands of lines of code.
- 0:52 You can spend a lot of tokens.
- 0:54 And to be honest, this is the easiest part today with the help of the latest models.
- 0:58 But I think the shipping is the moment when the real work begins, because you need to close the loop as soon as possible.
- 1:05 So after your launch, you need to have some control and understanding of the system.
- 1:09 And from my experience, the loop is at least as important as the product itself, sometimes even more, because the tight feedback is the one that helps you to make the product better every single day.
- 1:22 And that's the missing layer, and that's what the rest of this talk is all about.
- 1:26 So what happens after you launch?
- 1:28 And this is not something surprising.
- 1:30 We had the same questions in the classical old software.
- 1:33 You need to monitor what is happening.
- 1:35 You need to understand how it behaves.
- 1:37 You need to have some logs to detect the problems and fix them.
- 1:42 And for agentic systems, each one of those are even harder.
- 1:45 And sometimes they turn into something genuinely new.
- 1:50 So let's talk about why this is hard and why this is hard now.
- 1:54 So the agent is on a normal software, right?
- 1:56 You don't have a few features, several buttons.
- 1:59 You don't have a predefined flow that you can test before you go to the live.
- 2:06 And the coverage is endless.
- 2:07 So think about like Cloud Code or Codex.
- 2:09 They can do a giant range of stuff wherever the user needs.
- 2:13 And most of the agents do the same, right?
- 2:16 So you give the instructions and they can handle it.
- 2:18 And you cannot write all the conversations in advance.
- 2:23 So this leads to the deepest part of the problem, the part that keeps me up all night, which is you lose the feel for your own system.
- 2:31 So after you build the product, you need to have some kind of understanding, does it get better or worse?
- 2:38 So you need to monitor, understand what is happening.
- 2:41 And the problem is that the normal safety nets don't save you here.
- 2:47 And believe me, we try a few stuff.
