The Agent Development Lifecycle – How Teams are Improving Agents
Hosted by LangChain
Many organizations have moved beyond experimenting with agents and are now facing a different challenge - how to evaluate, govern, improve and scale them over time. Rather than treating agents as one-off projects, leading teams are establishing an agent development lifecycle for building and continuously refining agents. Gartner predicts that by 2030, 70% of organizations will have established a formal agent development lifecycle.
Join this town hall to discuss:
- Building an effective agent development lifecycle
- Common challenges teams face as agents move into production
- Accelerating the agent improvement loop
