What is context engineering? Join us as we dive into the importance of context engineering for providing relevant information to agents, and how to build grounded agents using Elastic Agent Builder. Open Claw Curious: How to Orchestrate an Autonomous AI Organization - Arsen YereminBuilding autonomous AI organizations requires more than just smart agents—it demands thoughtful orchestration across governance, incentives, and distributed infrastructure. In this talk, we’ll explore what “autonomous” really means in the context of architectural patterns that enable true self-governing teams, and walk through a production autonomous deployment architecture I’ve been building. We’ll cover how to implement verifiable workflows, and create the operational feedback loops that let autonomous systems improve themselves.
