From Agents to Production: Founder Exchange & After Hours #SFTechWeek

📝 Event Description Building a single-turn agent demo is easy. Shipping production-ready multi-agent systems that execute reliably over 20+ turns without hallucinating or draining your runway is where most startups stall. When agents tackle long-running tasks, errors compound. A low-quality search result on step 3 derails the planner by step 10. Meanwhile, passing bloated raw web context between sub-agents burns millions of tokens, destroying your product gross margins. This private technical meetup brings together founders and lead engineers working on Scaling Long-Horizon, Stateful AI Agents. We will unpack real production stacks, state management patterns, and the retrieval architectures required to improve task completion rates while cutting token spend. 🛠️ What We Will Cover Preventing State Drift in Long-Horizon Runs: Checkpointing, intermediate verification, and stopping compounding errors across 30+ execution steps.Multi-Agent Systems in Production: Practical orchestrator-worker-critic patterns, inter-agent messaging, and avoiding deadlocks in complex agent swarms.Token Economics & Context Pruning: How to replace raw HTML scraping and giant context windows with precision search retrieval to cut API bills by 70%+.Trajectory Evals: Benchmarking intermediate tool calls, search quality, and unit economics before pushing agent updates to users.State Recovery & Async Execution: Designing interruptible, stateful workflows that handle tool timeouts, rate limits, and human-in-the-loop steps cleanly. 📅 Agenda 5:00 PM – 5:30 PM: Check-in, drinks, and casual networking5:30 PM – 5:50 PM: Technical Teardown: Anatomy of a 30-Turn Agent Run (Where state breaks and tokens burn)5:50 PM – 6:30 PM: Founder Panel: Scaling Stateful Multi-Agent Systems in Production6:30 PM – 6:50 PM: Live Architecture Demo: High-precision search grounding and token reduction in multi-agent pipelines6:50 PM – 8:00 PM: Open discussion, founder Q&A, and networking Who Should Attend Founders and technical leads building autonomous, vertical, or developer-focused AI agents.Engineers tackling agent reliability, multi-step orchestration, and context window economics.Builders looking for practical architectures to improve response quality and reduce inference costs. (Note: Space is limited to maintain high-signal discussion. Approvals are prioritized for active founders and core technical operators.) Meet your Host!
