Building AI Agents That Survive Production
Haytham Abuelfutuh · CTO, Union AI; co-author of Flyte
Haytham Abuelfutuh argues that the hard part of production agents is not only prompts and tools, but the operational substrate around long-running, failure-prone sessions. The talk frames production readiness around dynamic execution, durable recovery, and defended sandboxes, using the example of human travel agents to show why interruption, state, and recovery matter more than a clean demo loop.
