The Emerging AI Agent Stack | CrewAI’s João Moura

Unlocking AI agents for knowledge work automation and scaling intelligent, multi-agent systems within enterprises fundamentally requires measurability, reliability, and trust.

João Moura, founder & CEO of CrewAI, joins Galileo’s Conor Bronsdon and Vikram Chatterji to unpack and define the emerging AI agent stack. They explore how enterprises are moving beyond initial curiosity to tackle critical questions around provisioning, authentication, and measurement for hundreds or thousands of agents in production. The discussion highlights a crucial "gold rush" among middleware providers, all racing to standardize the orchestration and frameworks needed for seamless agent deployment and interoperability. This new era demands a re-evaluation of everything from cloud choices to communication protocols as agents reshape the market.

João and Vikram then dive into the complexities of building for non-deterministic multi-agent systems, emphasizing the challenges of increased failure modes and the need for rigorous testing beyond traditional software. They detail how CrewAI is democratizing agent access with a focus on orchestration, while Galileo provides the essential reliability platform, offering advanced evaluation, observability, and automated feedback loops. From specific use cases in financial services to the re-emergence of core data science principles, discover how companies are building trustworthy, high-quality AI products and prepare for the coming agent marketplace.
