AI agents often need to access services such as GitHub and Slack on a user’s behalf. Before an agent can act, the user must authenticate with the provider and explicitly approve the requested access. The application must then securely associate the resulting OAuth grant with the user who authorized it. This process is called session … Read more
Financial institutions participating in open finance (the network where banks share customer-authorized financial data with third-party applications through standardized APIs) face a persistent integration challenge. Every bank exposes APIs with its own field names, formatting conventions, and gaps relative to the Financial Data Exchange (FDX) standard.

Multi-agent systems in production experience issues in ways that traditional monitoring misses. For example, the agent can’t invoke its foundation model (FM) and returns an empty response. This could be because of a missing AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permission on an agent’s execution role that doesn’t throw a 500 error. A supervisor agent … Read more
Organizations building generative AI applications usually compare models the same way: dollars per million tokens. It’s the number on every pricing page, so it becomes the number in every spreadsheet. But production workloads don’t buy tokens. They buy outcomes: a resolved support ticket, a completed research brief, a correct financial summary. Between the pricing page … Read more
As customers shift to interacting with digital services through AI hosts like ChatGPT and Claude, organizations need a way to make their services accessible across these applications with rich UI, not only plain text.

Multi-turn agents fail in ways that single-turn evaluation misses: one early mistake quietly corrupts every later turn. This post introduces the Agent Evaluation Metric (AEM), a decomposable, turn-level way to measure agent quality. We apply it to its first dimension, correctness. We show how AEM pinpoints the one turn that caused a failure and separates … Read more
