Official Description
Autonomous loops are hot, but the reality is that most agentic tasks still require human judgement.
And to guide your agents well, it's not enough to just verify correctness -- you actually need to
understand the work they're doing. In this talk, I'll share some techniques for staying in the loop
and efficiently developing understanding, combining old ideas from education and cognitive science
with modern agent capabilities. You'll walk away with some practical tips for moving faster with
agents by understanding more, not less.
