- Using operational triggers like new Sentry issues, incoming user emails, and pull requests to kick off autonomous workflows.
- Designing agent loops that can plan, execute, and check their own work instead of stopping at a single prompt-response cycle.
- Hardening long-running agents with validation, monitoring, and clear human checkpoints before production actions land.
