Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit about your background and areas you focus on today.
Topic 2 - Tell us a bit about the Kagenti project and the types of challenges it’s trying to solve for Agentic AI deployments.
Topic 3 - How much commonality exists between different Agentic frameworks that a common, agnostic agentic orchestration approach can work? And how much difference still exists and would drive companies to silo’d deployments?
Topic 4 - How far should an Agentic Orchestration framework go, and what types of things do you expect will still be Agentic framework dependent?
• Is Kagenti more of a control-plane element, or more of a data-plane element?
Topic 5 - As Kagenti evolves, what are some of the adjacent things that people should be keeping an eye on that might be a dependency, or could shift the direction of the project?
