Managing AI Agents in Production
A hands-on workshop for teams building software with AI agents. Attendees create and deploy an agent, then use LaunchDarkly AgentControl to manage prompts, models, and tools in production without redeploying. Along the way, they’ll explore how to shape and evaluate agent behavior, including in coding-agent workflows, and safely roll out changes as the agent evolves quickly and with full assurance.
