      From PoC to Production: Architecting a Financial Agent for Real-World Autonomous Decision Support

      This talk walks through the real-world journey of building a production-grade Agentic Financial Assistant—from early proof-of-concept experiments to a scalable, reliable system serving real users. We will explore how large language models evolve into autonomous agents capable of reasoning, retrieving financial context, executing tools, and making safe decisions within enterprise constraints. The session will cover practical architecture patterns including multi-agent orchestration, tool execution layers, memory and retrieval systems, and LLMOps for monitoring and reliability. We will also discuss the critical production challenges—latency, cost control, hallucination mitigation, guardrails, and evaluation frameworks—and how to design agent systems that are safe enough for financial environments. Developers will walk away with practical blueprints for building agentic systems that move beyond demos into production.
