What you'll learn

DSPy as a System-Building Tool

How DSPy connects prompts, programs, evaluation, and optimization into a unified workflow.

From Components to Agents

Practical patterns for composing DSPy modules into agentic applications.

Evaluation-Driven Development

Using metrics and feedback loops to guide system behavior and improvements.

Auto-Optimization in Practice

How DSPy’s optimization work and is it actually used?

Why this topic matters

As LLM systems grow more complex, ad-hoc prompt engineering no longer scales. DSPy represents a shift toward principled, engineering-first approaches to agentic AI. This session equips experienced practitioners with the tools and patterns needed to build more reliable, evaluable, and maintainable AI systems in production.
