Your Agent Is Getting Weird: Testing, Observability, and Lifecycle Patterns for Production AI Agents

Global AI Conference Toronto

Date to be announced · Time to be announced

An AI agent can work perfectly in a demo and start acting strange in production. Data changes, retrieval gets stale, tools evolve, permissions shift, models update, workflows move, and users discover edge cases nobody tested. Suddenly the helpful assistant is confidently wrong, calling the wrong API, or giving answers nobody trusts. This session shows developers and architects how to detect and prevent agent weirdness before it becomes operational pain. Samantha will cover practical patterns for testing, evaluation, observability, lifecycle ownership, escalation, governance hooks, and retirement so production agents remain useful, secure, maintainable, and aligned as enterprise reality changes daily.
