Raphael Kalandadze

The talk "The Missing Layer After Launch" by Raphael Kalandadze addresses the critical, yet often overlooked, phase of managing AI agents and systems after they have been deployed. The core thesis is that shipping an agent is merely the beginning of the real work, and a robust "missing layer" of monitoring, understanding, and improvement is essential for long-term success and reliability. This layer involves closing the feedback loop to continuously enhance the product based on real-world performance.
