AI agents can work autonomously by delegating tasks to different agents, models and tools. Various protocols are evolving to standardize the communication between agents. This post describes some p...
Why Agents and Agentic Systems can fail
At the ChatBot Summit in Berlin I gave a talk ‘How to understand why Agents fail’. Below is a transcript and the slides. As you all know there is a lot of innovation and buzz around agents and age...
Traces of Agents in watsonx Orchestrate
When building agentic systems, observability is key. While several demos seem to indicate that fully autonomous agents can already do everything, in reality often multi-agent systems fail. This pos...
