Large language models can now power capable software agents, yet real‑world success comes from disciplined engineering rather than flashy frameworks. Most reliable agents are built from simple, composable patterns instead of heavy abstractions.
The talk will introduce patterns to add complexity and autonomy only when it pays off. Attendees should leave with a practical decision framework for escalating from a single prompt to multi‑step agents, also keeping in mind guardrails for shipping trustworthy, cost‑effective agents at scale.
