## Resource

SPONSORED BY INTUIT Chase Roossin, group engineering manager, and Steven Kulesza, staff software engineer, from Intuit join the podcast to chat about what might be the hardest problem in engineering right now: getting multiple AI agents to work together in a complex system. They discuss how automated evals can make agent behaviors more predictable, agent swarms vs. one highly skilled agent, and how customer behavior shaped their technical architecture.  Episode notes Want to work on complex engineering problems like these?
