What you'll learn

Evaluate Agent Quality and Task Success

Measure task completion, groundedness, tool-call correctness, policy compliance and end-to-end workflow reliability.

Design Effective Agent Guardrails

Implement input validation, output controls, tool permissions, policy enforcement and risk-based safety checks.

Build Fail-Safe Agent Workflows

Design retries, fallbacks, escalation paths and human-in-the-loop approvals to handle failures and uncertainty safely.

Close Production-Readiness Skill Gaps

Understand the evaluation, reliability, security and infrastructure skills needed to become a Production AI Engineer.

Why this topic matters

AI agents must do more than generate accurate responses. They need to execute workflows correctly, use tools safely, follow enterprise policies and recover from failures. Without evaluation, guardrails and fail-safe design, AI pilots can become operational risks. This session teaches the essential engineering practices for delivering reliable, secure and production-ready Agentic AI systems.
