Agentic AI Flywheels
The article discusses the lifecycle of agentic AI systems, emphasizing the importance of a feedback loop after initial deployment. It outlines the pre-production phase and the recurring improvement cycle known as the Agentic AI Flywheel. The author also highlights an upcoming workshop aimed at teaching AI engineers how to effectively manage and improve their systems using evaluations.
- ▪Agentic systems typically start with a small evaluation set that grows based on production failures and user feedback.
- ▪The lifecycle of an agentic system consists of a pre-production phase followed by a recurring loop of shipping, observing, diagnosing, and improving.
- ▪The pre-production phase includes defining the problem, creating a proof of concept, establishing performance metrics, and developing a prototype with an initial evaluation set.
