5 Essential Practices for Production-Ready AI Agents
About the event
While AI agents are hailed as the engine for true business value in Generative AI, moving them from proof-of-concept sandboxes to production systems is a major engineering hurdle. Unpredictable reasoning, context drift, security risks, and governance gaps routinely keep agentic projects grounded in the lab. In this 60-minute session, we break down the five core practices required to build, govern, and scale enterprise-grade AI agents:
1. Architecture Strategy: Choosing between Agent Harnesses and Frameworks based on operational complexity. 2. Enterprise Grounding: Decoupling knowledge from the LLM using structured semantic data layers and real-time context. 3. Multi-Layered Guardrails: Implementing behavioral, data, tool, and human-in-the-loop safety boundaries. 4. Platform Engineering: Scaling through reusable building blocks, standardized tool bindings, and IDP integration. 5. Lifecycle Observability: Tracking tool trace execution, context degradation, token health, and continuous evaluation in CI/CD.
We will then put these practices into action with a live demonstration on Mia-Platform AI Foundry, showing how to bind user intent to structured enterprise context, enforce active guardrails, and manage production agent workflows from a unified developer interface.
