Summary

Sally Ann from Arize discusses the emerging field of context engineering for AI agents, highlighting the critical importance of managing an AI's context window beyond traditional prompt engineering. She introduces their AI harness called Alex, which helps teams build AI applications by addressing the challenges of maintaining and optimizing context in long conversations. The key takeaway is that successful AI agents require sophisticated context strategies that enable them to remember essential information while intelligently forgetting irrelevant details, ultimately improving their performance and reliability.
