The Integration Layer for AI Agents during SF a16z TechWeek
- WHO IT IS FOR: This event is designed for AI engineers, platform infrastructure teams, API builders, and technical founders building production-ready agent systems.
- WHAT IT IS ABOUT: A deep dive into the technical integration layer, focusing on MCP, connectors, authentication, and the infrastructure required for AI agents to interact securely with real-world tools and data.
- FORMAT: A developer-focused technical discussion and networking session.
As AI agents move from simple demos to production-ready software, the ability to securely interact with the real world becomes the ultimate bottleneck. Join Open Future Forum during SF a16z TechWeek for an intensive look at the integration layer that empowers agents to take meaningful action through reliable protocols and robust infrastructure.
This session moves beyond the hype to tackle the hard engineering challenges facing today's developers. We will explore critical topics including MCP standards, API ecosystems, identity management, and the security frameworks necessary for human-in-the-loop control. Whether you are building the next generation of agentic tools or managing complex data ecosystems, join us to discuss what to build, buy, or standardize as the agentic stack evolves.
