Harrison Chase - LangChain Launch: Infrastructure for building reliable agents

A main issue with agents is that they are not reliable enough. It's easy to build a prototype of agents, but it's still a lot of engineering work to get them to perform reliably. Infrastructure (and tooling) can help make this easier - but thinking about and understanding your application's "cognitive architecture" will always be necessary. This talk will discuss new infrastructure (and tooling) that still gives you full control of the "cognitive architecture" of your application.
