AI Agents Don't Read Your Policy Docs. They Hit Your APIs — Gravitee

Sam, CTO at Gravity, argues that AI agent governance must be enforced in infrastructure rather than in prompts or policy documents. Through five live demos against a hotel-booking agent, he shows a gateway blocking destructive tool calls, preventing data exfiltration, rate-limiting runaway agents, serving cached semantic responses, and rejecting oversized prompts before any LLM call. He also covers observability, vendor decoupling via LLM routing, trimming bloated MCP tool lists, and managing shadow AI.

What It Actually Takes to Build a Software Factory — Tereza Tížková, Factory

Tereza Tížková of Factory explains what a software factory really is: an autonomous, end-to-end software lifecycle that goes far beyond coding agents. She covers three guiding principles of agnosticism, autonomy, and continuous improvement, including automatic model routing, long-running multi-agent missions with sequential workers and independent validators, a deferred context engine, and agent readiness checks, and closes with a view on what remains for humans.
