Agent Sense | Agentic Workflows & Operational AI episodes

  • Autonomous Databases, Where Autonomy Helps and Where It Hurts

    Theme: Do autonomous databases fix bad data, or do they mainly improve operational reliability? Why are organizations moving toward autonomous operations?


    In episode 3, we talked about an IT service agent that created operational noise during an outage. The AI agent acted fast, but the ownership and escalation data were wrong, so the actions were wrong.


    If the data underneath these systems is fragile, should the data layer become autonomous too? In eposide 4 we are talking about autonomous databases, and what they can and cannot do in incidents like this.


    I am Monika Aggarwal, AI Technical Practitioner. I build agentic workflows grounded in clear rules, good data, and governance. I am joined by my colleague Frank Chavez. He is a Technical Architect and hands-on builder specializing in multi-agent orchestration and AI integration patterns.

    I bring the enterprise and operational view. Frank brings the engineering view.

  • Why IT Service Agents Fail in Production, A Data Readiness Problem

    Theme: Foundations & Data Readiness. Why do agents go rogue when the information source is weak?

    This is episode three: Why IT Service Agents Fail in Production, A Data Readiness Problem. Most enterprise agentic failures are not related to the model. They are data failures. We are using a real IT service ticketing example to show why data readiness matters for agents.

  • Rules, Agents, Humans - A Practical Model for Agentic Workflows

    This episode explores the line between deterministic business logic and autonomous agents in real business operations, using a Commercial and Investment Banking onboarding scenario to show where rules work, where agents help, and where humans must stay in control.
