Agentic by Design
Beyond the chatbot to real-world AI
As a side event of Bits and Pretzels, Databricks Women in Data & AI is hosting "Agentic by Design".
This event dives straight into the front lines of agentic AI. We are moving past basic text completion and conversational chatbots to explore autonomous, production-grade AI agents that reason, plan, and execute multi-step workflows across real-world enterprise architectures.
However, transitioning from an impressive pilot to a reliable, scalable production system comes with hard engineering constraints. As model intelligence rapidly advances, the true bottleneck in production isn't raw LLM capability, it’s context, control, cost, and governance. Unmonitored agents running in unconstrained loops quickly cause cost explosions, low accuracy, and security risks.
Join us for an evening dedicated to the technical realities, design patterns, and hard-won lessons of running agents in production.
Connect with fellow builders, industry experts, and practitioners shaping the future of autonomous systems.
