The Integration Layer for AI Agents during SF TechWeek
- WHO IT IS FOR: AI engineers, platform and infrastructure teams, API builders, technical founders, and developer-tool leaders.
- WHAT IT IS ABOUT: A technical deep dive into the integration layer for AI agents, focusing on MCP, authentication, connectors, and secure tool interaction.
- FORMAT: A developer-focused technical discussion and networking session.
As AI agents move from simple demos to production-ready software, the real challenge lies in the infrastructure that allows them to interact safely with the real world. Join Open Future Forum during a16z SF TechWeek for an in-depth exploration of the integration layer—the critical stack of protocols, connectors, and identity systems required to turn LLMs into actionable tools.
This session moves beyond the hype to tackle the hard engineering questions facing modern AI teams. We will dive into Model Context Protocol (MCP), authentication and authorization frameworks, and the essential observability and human-in-the-loop controls needed to manage agentic workflows at scale. Whether you are deciding what to build versus what to buy, this is your chance to connect with the engineers shaping the future of agentic infrastructure.
