She highlights how MongoDB, reinforced by the acquisition of Voyage, empowers developers to build production-scale agents across various industries, from solo projects to major enterprises. This robust data layer is foundational to ensure agent performance and improve the end user experience.Mikiko advocates for treating agents as software products, applying rigorous engineering best practices to ensure reliability, even for non-deterministic systems. She details MongoDB's unique position to balance GPU/CPU loads and manage data for performance and observability, including Galileo's integrations. The conversation emphasizes the profound need to rethink observability, evaluations, and guardrails in the era of agents, showcasing Galileo's family of small language models for real-time guardrailing, Luna-2, and Insights Engine for automated failure analysis. Discover how building trustworthiness through systematic evaluation, beyond just \"vibe checks,\" is essential for AI agents to scale and deliver value in high-stakes use cases.Follow the hostsFollow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Atin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Conor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Vikram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Yash⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Today's Guest(s)Connect with Mikiko on LinkedInFollow Mikiko on X/TwitterExplore Mikiko's YouTube channelCheck out Mikiko's ⁠SubstackConnect with MongoDB on LinkedInConnect with MongoDB on YouTubeCheck out Galileo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Try...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/opYb_ogIEF0JJPpA1L13NhLPore7cUzGtcL8Okdgfg4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81YjBh/ODMzMTY3ZjQ0MjBj/YTE1ODMwYTZlNDgx/Mjc2Mi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
