And to guide your agents well, it's not enough to just verify correctness -- you actually need to understand the work they're doing. In this talk, I'll share some techniques for staying in the loop and efficiently developing understanding, combining old ideas from education and cognitive science with modern agent capabilities. You'll walk away with some practical tips for moving faster with agents by understanding more, not less. --- Watch along with the corrected transcript, summary,…
