Observability gives us a window into how an AI agent is working throughout its run, allowing us to improve its performance. Here’s how to add observability to a Genkit agent with Progress Agent Engineering.
AI workflow automation hands an agent a whole job instead of a single step. It only ships software if you write the limits before the first run and check your delivery metrics after.
Coding agents, workflows, orchestration and platforms do four different jobs, and swapping one for another surfaces in production as an incident no test suite predicted.
We can’t expect a general-purpose model to know everything, but we can build a system around it that knows where to find that information and surfaces it as needed.
