// DevOps for AI agents
DevOps took a decade to figure out how to make infrastructure reliable, and SRE codified it. AI agents are the new chaos—and everyone is making the same mistakes we made with servers in 2010.
12-Factor AgentOps adapts those hard-won patterns for autonomous AI systems. For measuring human-AI collaboration sessions, see vibe-check.
