Beyond the Model: Engineering Reliable AI Agents

Why Some AI Agents Actually Work, and Most Don’t 🤖🔍

Same Brain. Different Harness. Wildly Different Results.

Have you ever used an AI agent that confidently gave you the wrong answer? This talk delves into why that happens. While the debate over the "best" model continues, the reality is that the model itself rarely makes or breaks an AI product. What truly matters is everything surrounding the model—the systems that determine whether it is reliable or can potentially embarrass.

Join Yaqoob David and Veeresh Dammur, both experts in data science and AI, as they simplify these concepts and demonstrate live: the same AI model configured in different setups can yield dramatically different results!
