Our team at @fieldguide spoke at AI Engineer New York this week, walking through how we engineer systems for defensible agent decisions.

We shared a version of the talk on our engineering blog: https://t.co/IwjVTZzK4G

Sharing more this week about how our design team at @fieldguide works. We have a culture here where designers can ship, not just hand off prototypes.

Our design and development process is designed to compress every step. Our software factory means design creates high-fidelity product concepts that work in our actual codebase. It also means small customer improvements often get same-day turnarounds vs. waiting for prioritization.

How do you audit an audit agent? Our AI team wrote up how we do it at @fieldguide.

Agent evals are very different from model evals. The combo of the harness, context, tools, and model creates a different set of challenges. We find that firm-specific context skews results the most.

We solve this with our context graph, Agent Knowledge, which lets agents understand a firm's historical corpus of data. This ensures that the agent retrieves details the firm actually cares about instead of reasoning from a generic standard.

Long-horizon agents create a unique set of challenges with evals. Today's @fieldguide engineering blog covers our framework for running long-horizon agent evals at scale.

Our framework runs agents and simulates the human side of the conversation, then scores the results. Each session runs in its own sandboxed workflow, so we can run many in parallel and check consistency across runs. Anyone on our team can propose a change to agent behavior, launch a batch of tests, and come back with evidence about whether it worked.

This week we're sharing technical deep dives on Field Orchestrator, our multi-agent system behind audit workflows at @fieldguide.

Today's post covers how our harness and top-level agent, as we split a workflow into units of work that run in parallel and delegate them to specialized sub-agents while holding the high-level state: https://t.co/PyZa57SR5x

Dear white people,
For days you’ve asked me what you can do to help. I’ve finally found an answer.

Let your guard down and listen.

Homelessness in America is usually written in pieces—this experience, that cause, such aid—but that’s not the nature of the problem or its intractability. In this week’s @NewYorker, I look at the ecosystem as a whole, focussed on one city: San Francisco. https://t.co/kHL4HUSATs

[WIRED @WIRED]

Transportation accounts for nearly a third of total greenhouse gas emissions in the US, and more than half of that is from cars. The modern American city is designed to favor cars and make other ways of getting around suck.
