To support practitioners in understanding how agentic systems are designed in real-world industrial practice, we present a review of practitioner conference talks on AI agents. We analyzed 138 recorded talks to examine how companies adopt agent-based architectures (Objective 1), identify recurring architectural strategies and patterns (Objective 2), and analyze application domains and technologies used to implement and operate LLM-driven agentic systems (Objective 3).

Abstract

To support practitioners in understanding how agentic systems are designed in real-world industrial practice, we present a review of practitioner conference talks on AI agents. We analyzed 138 recorded talks to examine how companies adopt agent-based architectures (Objective 1), identify recurring architectural strategies and patterns (Objective 2), and analyze application domains and technologies used to implement and operate LLM-driven agentic systems (Objective 3).
