No Dramas: Hardening AI Agents for the Real World
Join the Orkes and Complete Technology teams for an evening of guided hands-on labs, practical agentic best practices and food & refreshments at the Orkes Developer Meetup in Auckland!
Whether you're building AI agents, working on distributed systems or struggling to move AI into production - this is your chance to learn and connect with like-minded developers.
What to expect:
🎤 Stories and best practices from the AI trenches
💻 Practical hands on lab & prizes - bring your own device
🍕 Food, drinks and plenty of networking time
💬 Live Q&A sessions
🤝 A relaxed, developer-first atmosphere
AI agents are getting surprisingly good at deciding what to do. In a demo, it can feel almost magical.
Production is totally different.
State has to persist across steps. Tasks run for minutes or days. Failures are partial, messy and unpredictable. Humans need visibility into what's happening - and the ability to step in when it matters.
We'll explore the gap between an agent that works in a demo and one you can actually trust in production, covering durable state, failure recovery, long-running coordination and keeping agents observable and controllable at scale.
In the hands-on lab, you'll have the opportunity to build an end-to-end application using Claude Code and Conductor Skills - with some pretty nice prizes on offer.
Perfect for architects and senior engineers building agent-driven systems.
