Factory Co-Founder & CTO on Building Reliable AI Agents | LangChain Interrupt
AI Summary
The video features Eno, co-founder and CTO of Factory, discussing the shift from human-driven to agent-driven software development. He emphasizes that incremental AI additions to IDEs won’t suffice; instead, organizations need to delegate entire tasks to AI systems using a new kind of platform. Factory builds such a platform designed for large enterprises that integrates code, project management, observability, and internet context. Eno explains key traits of agentic systems: planning (breaking down tasks into subtasks, adapting plans), decision-making (assessing trade-offs, reasoning within context), and environmental grounding (interacting reliably with external tools and data). He underscores the importance of human collaboration as the inner loop of coding disappears and AI handles more development tasks. The video includes real-world demos of agentic systems autonomously executing workflows from project tickets to code merges, focusing on reliability, transparency, and control in AI delegation. Eno closes inviting teams interested in deep agentic AI to join Factory.
