Welcome to the monthly NYC AI Engineers Tech Talk, a recurring gathering built exclusively around the craft of AI engineering. Whether you're a veteran ML engineer or a fullstack developer exploring the world of LLMs, this is a high-signal space designed to go deep on real projects, genuine technical hurdles, and the solutions that actually work. No fluff — just substance, engineered by engineers for engineers.
Building Reliable AI Agents with Feedback Loops
Current models are impressive — but without the right feedback architecture, they consistently fall short. Yesh will pull back the curtain on how Harmonic is developing Scout, an AI assistant tackling notoriously hard-to-evaluate domains like market mapping and investor search, and what it genuinely takes to design feedback loops that move the needle on output quality.
Catching Model Failures Before They Ship
Most AI systems fail quietly — and that's the problem. Ahsaas dives into AI-powered evaluation pipelines that surface hidden regressions, reduce dependence on slow human labeling, and dramatically accelerate iteration cycles.
Inside Enterprise-Grade Coding Agents
Shipping coding agents to production is a different beast entirely. David breaks down the architecture, security considerations, and design philosophy behind Hebbia's background agent — and shares how teams are using it in the real world today.
Why Most AI Agents Are Built Wrong (and How to Fix Them)
Everyone is building agents. Far fewer are building them correctly. Sebastian delivers a sharp, practical teardown of the most common mistakes in agent design, plus battle-tested patterns drawn from top teams at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google to make agents that actually perform.
