With deep experience across tooling, architecture, and applied AI, the panelists will explore what it takes to design, debug, and evaluate agents that operate reliably and safely.<br><br>Expect a candid conversation grounded in real-world use cases\u2014from orchestration patterns and human-in-the-loop systems to how teams are using tools that accelerate their daily work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-d234f690 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-opik is-style-opik--4\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comet.com\/site\/events\/convergence\/#register\">Register now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":12738,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"convergence","meta":{"customer_name":"","customer_description":"","customer_industry":"","customer_technologies":"","customer_logo":"","footnotes":""},"coauthors":[126],"class_list":["post-13334","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
