The Agent Development Lifecycle: Build, Test, Deploy, Monitor | Interrupt 26
At the opening keynote from Interrupt 26, LangChain's annual agent conference. Harrison Chase (CEO & co-founder) and Ankush Gola (CTO & co-founder) walk through the Agent Development Lifecycle: the framework top teams use to build, test, deploy, and monitor AI agents in production, as well as a wave of new LangChain launches across every stage of that lifecycle.
