Prompt Engineering Is Dead: Agent Optimization with Opik Workshop
Writing prompts is dead. Prompt engineering was a fun phase, but it's over.
As large language models evolve into multi-step agents with tools, memory, and retrieval, the real bottleneck isn't creativity —it's context management. What agents see, remember, and decide now defines performance. Manual "prompt surgery" can't keep up.
Join This Workshop
This session is part of Comet's global New Year Resolution AI Agents Hackathon (not competing? no problem — it's not too late to join!).
Lead AI Researcher and Developer Advocate Vincent Koc will show you how to use automatic agent optimization to build better AI systems faster.
Whether you're building for the hackathon (or tinkering in your free time), you'll learn how to build self-improving systems that automatically leverage feedback loops to update in real-time. No more manually tweaking prompts every time your agent breaks.
About the Hackathon
Comet is sponsoring a global hackathon challenging developers to build AI agents that help people stick to their New Year's resolutions. Evaluation and monitoring are part of the judging criteria, and there's a dedicated prize for best use of Opik. [Link to register]
