Hamel Husain on AI Verification: Designing Evaluatable Agent Products
hugobowne · x · 2026-09-01
Hugo Bowne-Anderson will discuss AI evaluation challenges with Hamel Husain, focusing on the bottleneck of verification in AI agents. Hamel argues that "hard to eval" is a product smell; systems must be designed for verification by exposing metric definitions, intermediate calculations, and source queries. The talk covers how to implement progressive disclosure, break outputs into auditable units, and use vetted starting points to reduce human review burden and strengthen eval signals.
