Sierra Summit London feels underwhelming vs SF; production agent metrics still rare
DimlyDimwitted · reddit · 2026-10-23
A redditor compares Sierra's London Summit with the earlier San Francisco event: SF brought multiple announcements (Tandem Voice, Curie, Fleming, Ghostwriter, and the Personal Agent Protocol), while London leaned on existing product showcases and customer success stories with little technical depth.
The real gap, the author argues, is industry-wide: everyone has seen polished demos and big logos, but few events discuss how agents behave in production—actual resolution rates vs containment, failure handling, and how much human oversight is needed at scale.
