An engineer builds an AI agent to manage his own life, decides an unrestricted "does everything" agent is too dangerous to trust, and ends up creating the internal agent platform that now runs 30 agents across his entire company.
Ori Shoshan, tech lead at Cyera, walks through the guardrails, citation system, and knowledge graph that turned "let the agent do anything" into "let the agent do exactly what it's supposed to, and nothing else."
What we cover: – Why one engineer built his own AI agent in his living room, and how it grew into Cyera's internal agent platform – Whitelisting tools instead of blacklisting them, plus the "escape hatch" that keeps agents honest – Backing every claim with a citation and using a second model to catch hallucinations before they reach a human – Trading RAG for a knowledge graph the agent can walk like a wiki – Turning "use this platform" into "build your own agent" to drive adoption across an entire engineering org – Running agents on confidential data that can investigate everything but can only ever say what's been cleared
