AI Engineer
AI Engineer is a conference and media channel documenting the practical discipline of building production AI systems: agents, evals, observability, context engineering, RAG, MCP, voice agents, inference, AI products, and AI-native engineering organizations.

What it covers
The corpus spans the shift from early prompt/RAG/full-stack AI application patterns into production agent infrastructure. Early talks cover prompt engineering, Pydantic, LangChain/LangSmith, embeddings, Supabase Vector, inference, and production-ready RAG. Later talks focus heavily on agent evals, MCP, context and memory, durable execution, coding agents, voice and realtime AI, GraphRAG, open models, inference economics, security, and AI product/organization design [src-077].
The repeated practical thesis is that AI engineering is not just model access. Useful systems require evals, observability, context pipelines, tool protocols, auth and sandboxing, latency/cost engineering, deployment surfaces, and product feedback loops [src-077].
