Scaling and Managing Complex Agentic Workflows with Orkes Conductor | AI Camp Seattle
AI agents are everywhere—but building, scaling, and governing them in production is still a massive challenge. In this session from @AICamp Seattle, Orkes engineer Haven King breaks down what it really takes to scale agentic workflows in the real world.
You’ll learn how to combine LLMs, human-in-the-loop tasks, business logic, and orchestration into one cohesive system using Orkes Conductor. From architectural best practices to a live demo that builds a functioning AI-powered workflow, this session is packed with practical insights for developers, architects, and builders working on the future of automation.
