Cisco's Cloud Control platform is highlighted as enabling an 'agentic loop' that breaks problem-solving into four phases: grounding detection in user experience metrics, deep reasoning using CCIE-level networking knowledge embedded in LLMs, deterministic and auditable actions on the network, and closed-loop validation via ThousandEyes visibility. The key theme is earning network engineers' trust by making AI actions predictable, logged, and verifiable rather than letting an LLM freely hallucinate changes on production infrastructure. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
