Overview
This guide outlines a practical build process for AI agents that can operate safely in production workflows.
Build Process
- define one bounded workflow and success KPI
- design agent objective, policy boundaries, and escalation rules
- integrate only required tools with strict permissions
- implement evaluation, monitoring, and rollback controls
- roll out gradually and tune using production feedback
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- building multi-agent systems before proving single-agent value
- unclear policy boundaries for autonomous actions
- no traceability for decisions and tool calls
- launching without tested fallback path
