The core insight is that unlike traditional software where 90% of effort is pre-launch, AI agents require 90% of effort post-launch for iteration and improvement. Key pre-launch foundations include starting with a focused use case, tying the agent to a measurable KPI (like containment rate), and implementing both input and output guardrails for trust and security. Post-launch, teams must build fast feedback loops covering tone issues, logic errors, data quality, and coverage gaps. Three common anti-patterns to avoid: over-relying on LLM reasoning for deterministic tasks (use code instead), adding more prompt emphasis rather than encoding policies as structured rules, and passing oversized context windows that hurt both accuracy and speed. Future directions include multi-agent orchestration, agents operating beyond chat interfaces, and continued rapid evolution of tooling and best practices. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
