Evolution of Automation: Orchestration to Intent-Based SupervisionAutomation has long relied on orchestration: predefined workflows, rigid control flows, and human-managed exceptions. That model breaks down as systems become adaptive, distributed, and autonomous. In this session, we explore the shift from orchestration to intent-based supervision, where humans define purpose, constraints, and authority, while agents decide how to act within those bounds. Drawing on real-world agentic architectures, the talk shows how dynamic discovery, semantic negotiation, and closed-loop feedback replace static workflows. Attendees will learn how to design automation that scales safely, remains governable, and adapts as context changes, without removing human judgment from the system.

Building an agentic memory system for GitHub Copilot
Researchers published a study of the gap between retrieving memories and using them faithfully in agent behavior. The work introduces a context-grounded evaluation of agentic memory and examines whether retrieved memories are actually supported by the current context, addressing
