Rethinking how we Scaffold AI Agents - Rahul Sengottuvelu, Ramp

Diagrams, algorithms, and handcrafted heuristics have long played a role in constructing AI agents, but are these traditional scaffolding techniques holding us back? Many current approaches lean too heavily on manual design, neglecting the “bitter lesson” that history has taught us: leveraging massive computation and generic methods often trumps tailored engineering. What if we could rethink our scaffolding strategies for AI agents—aligning them with decades of insight from the broader AI research community? In this talk, Rahul Sengottuvelu, Head of Applied AI at Ramp and co-founder of Cohere.io, will explore how embracing the bitter lesson can transform our approach to building AI agents. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to design more robust, scalable systems that minimize over-engineering while maximizing the power of general-purpose learning.
