Design Production-Grade Agentic AI Systems
Paramanantham Harrison
Founder @ KaaS.team, Engineering leader, Agentic AI educator
Design your company's agentic AI system in four hours.
You can build an agent in an afternoon. Designing the right system is a different job. Should code decide each step, or the model? One agent or a team, and who coordinates them? What starts it, an inbox, a schedule or a person, and how long does it live? What outcome is it hired for, how will you know it delivered, and what must it never do? What will each outcome cost?
Most teams answer those questions in production, one incident at a time. In this workshop you answer them on paper first, for one real job at your company.
The worked examples are systems real companies run and have written about, such as expense approval, support resolution and multi-agent research, and the AI mission control we build in the buildcamp.
You leave with an architecture you can take to a design review: the shape, the outcome and its metric, the roles and models, the context, the approvals, the failure plan and the cost per outcome.
What you’ll learn
A one-day working session to design an agentic AI system for your own company: the right shape, the outcome it owns and its cost.
Place it on the map as a workflow, an agent or a team of agents.
Decide what starts it and how long it lives.
Decide which steps stay with people.
Write its outcome, its metric and the one thing it must never do.
Define done as the system of record agreeing, not the agent saying so.
Pick a model per role and design what each agent reads and remembers.
Scope every tool, place each human approval and plan for a run that dies halfway.
Price it per outcome before the first line of code.
Workshop agenda
The Map
Workflow, agent or team of agents: who decides the next step, what starts it, how long it lives and what each shape costs in tokens.
The Outcome
Write the outcome your system is hired for, the metric that proves it and the one thing it must never do.
Design Reviews of Real Systems
Take apart systems companies run, such as expense approval and support resolution, and see the shape, the measure and the trade each one chose.
Roles, Models and Context
Decide which agent does what, choose a model per role, and design what each one reads, remembers and caches.
Coordination and Approvals
Choose a supervisor, handoff, orchestrator-workers or maker-checker, scope every tool and decide where a human approves.
Failure and Durability
Plan retries, idempotent writes and what happens when a run dies halfway.
Cost per Outcome
Price every run, budget every agent and weigh the cost of each shape against what the outcome is worth.

Who this workshop is for
Software engineers about to build their first agentic system at work (you learn to choose the shape and design before you build)
Tech leads and engineering leaders who review agent designs (you learn what to ask, what to reject and what each outcome costs)
Product managers scoping an agent feature (you learn which steps an agent can own, where a human approves and what it costs)
Prerequisites
You have worked with an LLM
You have called a model from code, or shipped a feature with engineers who did.
You bring one real job
