Assistants, Agents, Orchestration: What’s Real? What's Risky?

Assistants, Agents, Orchestration: What’s Real? What's Risky?

This session kicks off a three-part lunch-and-learn webinar series on DevOps, AI, and agents, focused on practical use and guardrails.

Everyone’s talking about AI “agents”, but most people mean very different things. In this first session, we slow the hype down to unpack what assistants, agents, and orchestration actually are, why DevOps teams are suddenly prime territory for experimentation, and where things quietly go sideways when speed outruns review, security, and operational reality.

​​​​​​​We will explore agentic AI as a common vocabulary, a few durable mental models, and a grounded look at where real leverage exists today, especially if you already live in CI/CD and automation. You will leave with a clearer way to distinguish assistants, agents, and orchestration and an understanding of where AI fits into organizations.​​​​​​​
