When agents do the building, who decides whether the result is good? Aparna Dhinakaran, cofounder and Chief Product Officer at Arize AI, joins the keynote stage at AI Engineer New York on October 13 with "What does an AI Engineer do?" She argues that knowing what users want and defining what "done" means become more important as agents take on more engineering work. The hard part is measuring success when the same software can behave differently each time it runs. If your team is handing more work to agents, this is a question you need to answer. Arize AI is our presenting sponsor. October 12 to 14 at the Sheraton New York Times Square. Tickets: https://ai.engineer/nyc

Test your banking agent before a customer does. In this World's Fair 2026 recording, Aman Gupta of Nubank and Shreya Rajpal of Snowglobe show how they test support agents with simulated customers. Mocked tools keep account details consistent across the conversation. Nubank then checks the evaluations against real production conversations.

Your agents found savings. Did they count them twice? Two agents can read vendor contracts and claim the same saving. A citation can point to a real document and still support the wrong conclusion. Natalia Connolly and Kevin Madura of AlixPartners will examine those failures at AI Engineer New York on October 14. Their session looks at Claude Code as a financial analyst, comparing retrieval and governed SQL access to contracts and spend data. They'll show how to spot when an agent is answering the wrong question. Building an AI analyst? Put this session on your list. AI Engineer New York, October 12 to 14. Sheraton New York Times Square.

The model gave you a number. Can you trace it back to the source? A margin calculation needs the right inputs. Do both figures cover the same company and period? Are they in the same currency and scale? Our AI in Finance guide covers checked financial research, evaluating agents and the permissions needed for financial actions. It draws on talks from previous AI Engineer events. Read it before New York: https://lnkd.in/eYTYzy6u Bring the questions it raises to AI Engineer New York, October 12 to 14, at the Sheraton New York Times Square. Tickets: https://ai.engineer/nyc

Your coding agent opened the PR. Who decides it's safe to merge? On October 14, Manish Kapur, VP of Product and Solutions Marketing at Sonar, joins Addy Osmani, Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic, for "Who verifies the software factory?" at AI Engineer New York. They'll examine how teams review and test AI written code, and what happens when agents produce changes faster than people can check them. Manish will also preview new Sonar research based on a survey of more than 1,000 developers. How much AI written code reaches production without a separate human review? Is the time saved writing code turning into time spent reviewing it? Sonar is a Platinum sponsor of AI Engineer New York. Join us October 12 to 14 at the Sheraton New York Times Square.

Your next user is an agent. What can it access, and how do you revoke it? An agent finds your API, creates an account and starts acting for someone else. Whose permissions should it have? What happens when that access needs to stop? On October 13, Isabelle Williams, Product Manager at WorkOS, will take on these questions in "Your Next User Is an Agent" at AI Engineer New York. Her talk covers onboarding, identity and authorization, from registering an agent to revoking its access. WorkOS is a Platinum sponsor of AI Engineer New York.
