Official Description
Most production teams have the same problem. The work that keeps systems healthy- deployment checks,
on-call handoffs, anomaly reviews- never makes it into a sprint. It falls to whoever has bandwidth,
gets done inconsistently, and disappears when people are stretched thin. Background agents fix this
by running that work on a schedule, using the same production context a senior engineer would,
without waiting for someone to initiate it. Justin Smith, Founding Engineer at Resolve AI, walks
through the architecture behind always-on agents, the use cases teams are starting with today, and
what we have learned from running them in our production environment.
