Always-on agents run production without the on-call tax — Justin Smith, Resolve AI

Always-on agents run production without the on-call tax — Justin Smith, Resolve AI

Justin Smith from Resolve AI discusses how AI agents address the increasing operational burden on engineers, highlighting that 70% of an engineer's time is spent running code. He introduces Resolve AI's background agents, which autonomously monitor deployments, perform health checks, generate reports, and answer engineering questions by leveraging deep production context and a self-learning knowledge system, effectively reducing the "on-call tax" and managing system complexity.

Shahram Anver, CEO of Cleric, details how AI agents for SRE are evolving beyond fast triage to continuous learning and operational memory. He discusses Cleric's architectural shifts, from complex early designs to simpler, sandboxed query agents, and the unique challenges SRE agents face in diverse production environments. A core focus is on human-agent interaction, redefining roles as managers overseeing agents, and how agents learn from unstructured data like Slack to build robust, actionable knowledge for autonomous, self-healing infrastructure. The discussion also touches on the future of software, differentiating between durable systems and rapidly developed "skills" or "vibe-coded" solutions.
