Your agent architecture has a half-life of 6 months

Moscone West, San Francisco, CA 94103 | Expo Stage 1
Description
A short history of the right way to build an agent: RAG, ReAct, prompt chaining, orchestrator-workers, MCP, CLI, MCP again... CLI again??
Every time you adopt a trend you rebuild your architecture. In this talk, Dan Farrelly, Inngest co-founder and CTO, is not going to tell you what comes next. He's going to show you how to build so it doesn't matter. He'll cover the core primitives that show up in every production agent, how bringing decisions closer to code provides more stack flexibility, and why the right execution layer unlocks faster iteration. View on AI Engineer World's Fair schedule here.

Dan is the CTO and Co-founder of Inngest, where he's building the infrastructure layer that keeps AI agents and workflows running reliably.

When he's not thinking about durable execution, he's restoring a 100-year-old craftsman bungalow one weekend at a time.
