Observing Agents
The talk explores observability for AI coding agents that write and merge code autonomously. It examines whether traditional observability principles still apply in this new stochastic paradigm and shares emerging industry practices and tools for tracking agent behavior using existing observability systems.

A significant shift in the software engineering industry is happening right now. More and more people are using agents in their workflows to write code - either under close supervision or completely autonomously. Pull requests are written, reviewed, and sometimes even merged without any human involvement. New tools and models are released every week, and there's lots of interest in completely autonomous agents such as OpenClaw.
As an observability engineer, my main focus is on making sure I know what's going on in my systems. How to observe agents? Do traditional observability principles and techniques still matter in this new stochastic paradigm?
In this talk, I will show you how to keep track what your agents are doing and some of the practices that are forming in the industry as we speak - and whether you can use the tools you already have. If you know the basic observability terms, you are the right person to be in the audience.
BTW, OpenClaw convinced me to send a submission to CfP :)
