Running Production with Agents

San Francisco, CAOct 27, 2026

A wide view of the panel and seated audience

When agents write code and investigate incidents, what still needs a human’s judgment? Rootly hosted Running Production with Agents in San Francisco to explore that question with:

Tim Glaser — Co-founder and CEO of PostHog
Michael Grinich — Founder and CEO of WorkOS
Niall O’Higgins — Engineering Lead at Replit

Our Head of AI Labs, Sylvain Kalache, moderated the panel.

The program focused on using agents on-call, adapting testing and code review as code production accelerates, and preserving architectural understanding and accountability. Audience Q&A brought questions from the room into the discussion, with food, drinks, and time to connect before and after the panel.
