/ About this event
💡 Overview
Going from zero to prototype with AI agents takes only a few prompts but securing, orchestrating, and scaling autonomous systems in production is where the real engineering begins.
As part of the Camp AI series, we are gathering ~25–30 technical founders, CTOs, and VP-level engineering leaders for a private dinner and discussion in San Francisco.
Away from generic panels and crowded conference halls, this dinner offers an informal space to exchange unvarnished war stories, production blueprints, and hard-earned lessons with peers facing the same technical hurdles.
💬 What We’ll Explore Over Dinner
🛠️ From Prototype to Production: Architecture patterns, model context protocols (MCP), tool execution, and deployment loops that survive real-world traffic.
🔐 Agent Identity & Access Controls: Implementing runtime permissions, token validation, and defense-in-depth before granting autonomous agents access to sensitive data and APIs.
⚡ Reliability & Guardrails: Balancing model autonomy with human-in-the-loop oversight, fallback strategies, and deterministic testing.
📈 Scaling & Cost Optimization: Managing latency, inference costs, and observability in multi-agent workflows.
