Your AI Agent Has No Nervous System — Matt Gibiec, Dynatrace

This talk introduces the concept of an AI agent's 'nervous system' – real-time environmental context – as a critical missing piece for effective and safe AI agent operation. It highlights the problems arising from agents working 'blind' (loops, operational/security issues, unmeasurable value) and proposes Bluebox by Dynatrace as a solution. Bluebox provides observability for coding agents, enabling them to integrate production dependencies into local testing, detect issues early, suggest context-aware fixes, and be informed by real usage data before development, with human approval for final changes.
