The Agent Development Life Cycle — Zack Reneau-Wedeen, Sierra
This talk introduces the Agent Development Life Cycle (ADLC) as a structured approach to building and improving AI agents, drawing parallels to traditional software development. It emphasizes that agents are products requiring a robust platform for iterative refinement, customer feedback integration, and continuous improvement, much like a mobile app or website. The ADLC aims to leverage the strengths of large language models while incorporating traditional software practices for reliability and efficiency.
