Context Engineering for Coding Agents

Context Engineering for Coding Agents

A deep dive into advanced engineering techniques for coding agents, focusing on effective context management in LLMs like Claude. The talk introduces a practical framework using a brain-inspired analogy, proposing a Markdown-based 'wiki' as a long-term memory system to augment the agent's limited context window. This approach is demonstrated through a real-world challenge of extracting structured data from technical drawings.

The Four Types of Memory Every AI Agent Needs

The Four Types of Memory Every AI Agent Needs

AI agents utilize four distinct types of memory, analogous to human cognition, to move beyond simple chatbot responses. This summary explores the CoALA framework, detailing working, semantic, procedural, and episodic memory and how they enable agents to learn, recall skills, and leverage past experiences.

Building MCP Before MCP Existed: Inside Despegar's Sofia Agent

Building MCP Before MCP Existed: Inside Despegar's Sofia Agent

A deep dive into Despegar's GenAI travel agent, Sofia. Explore its multi-agent architecture, the custom orchestration layer 'Chappi' built before MCP was a standard, and the strategy of decentralizing agent development across company squads to cover the entire five-phase travel arc.

4 Ways AI Agents Should Behave for Smarter Systems

4 Ways AI Agents Should Behave for Smarter Systems

Grant Miller challenges the "Hollywood view" of AI super agents, proposing a shift towards collaborative, specialized agentic systems. He introduces a framework for categorizing agents based on their risk and capability, detailing how to design safer, more effective AI applications by minimizing access, implementing dynamic controls, and incorporating a human-in-the-loop for high-risk tasks.

Multi-Agent Systems for the Misinformation Lifecycle

Multi-Agent Systems for the Misinformation Lifecycle

A detailed overview of a modular, five-agent system designed to combat the entire lifecycle of digital misinformation. Based on an ICWSM research paper, this practitioner's guide details the roles of the Classifier, Indexer, Extractor, Corrector, and Verifier agents. The system emphasizes scalability, explainability, and high precision, moving beyond the limitations of single-LLM solutions. The talk covers the complete blueprint, from agent coordination and MLOps to holistic evaluation and optimization strategies for production environments.
