## About This Event

Agents break in ways unit tests don't catch.

They can pass the demo and still pick the wrong tool, misread an MCP server's schema, or lose track of what it learned three steps earlier. Evals are how teams catch these failures before they reach production. The tooling is still young, so plenty of teams build their own harnesses, LLM judges, and trace reviews from scratch.

Join us for an evening of lightning talks and live demos from teams who run evals on agents every day. We'll cover why agents pick one product over another, how to test one MCP server across the different clients people connect it to, and how to measure what an agent learns in context.
