The Secret Sauce to Scalable AI Agents | Agentic EP 08

AI agents will drive the next wave of automation—but only if they stop breaking.


In this episode, I’m joined by Alex Reibman, Adam Silverman, and Braelyn Boynton, the powerhouse team behind Agency.


Together, they’re tackling the toughest challenges in AI agent development, from failure recovery to debugging and slashing operational costs.


In this episode:


• Alex reveals why today’s AI agents break in unpredictable ways—and how Agency is solving it.


• Adam unpacks OpenAI’s latest agent release and its ripple effects across the ecosystem.


• Braelyn explains how they’re standardizing agent development, lowering barriers for builders everywhere.


Let’s dive in.
