Summary
What’s the first step to building an enterprise-grade AI tool? Malte Ubl, CTO of Vercel, joins us this week to share Vercel’s playbook for agents, explaining how agents are a new type of software for solving flexible tasks. He shares how Vercel's developer-first ecosystem, including tools like the AI SDK and AI Gateway, is designed to help teams move from a quick proof-of-concept to a trusted, production-ready application.Malte explores the practicalities of production AI, from the importance of eval-driven development to debugging chaotic agents with robust tracing. He offers a critical lesson on security, explaining why prompt injection requires a totally different solution - tool constraint - than traditional threats like SQL injection. This episode is a deep dive into the infrastructure and mindset, from sandboxes to specialized SLMs, required to build the next generation of AI tools.Follow the hostsFollow AtinFollow ConorFollow VikramFollow YashFollow Today's Guest(s)Connect with Malte on LinkedInFollow Malte on X (formerly Twitter)Learn more about VercelCheck out GalileoTry GalileoAgent Leaderboard
