Context Engineering for Production AI — The Complete Build and Deploy Guide

Context engineering for production AI covers more than building the system. It covers deploying it reliably, monitoring it continuously, improving it systematically, and operating it safely under real-world conditions. This live workshop teaches the complete production lifecycle, not just the initial build.

About This Workshop

What Context Engineering for Production AI Actually Requires

Taking a context-engineered AI system from development to production requires deployment infrastructure, monitoring dashboards, safeguard configuration, failure handling workflows, and continuous improvement processes. This workshop treats production as a first-class concern, covering each of these areas with the same depth as the core architecture.

🧠

What is Context Engineering?

Context engineering is the discipline of designing systems that give AI the right information, in the right format, to reason and act reliably. It goes beyond prompt engineering — building structured, deterministic systems that scale in production.

🤖

What is a Multi-Agent System?

A multi-agent system uses multiple specialised AI agents working together — each with a defined role, context, and tools — to complete complex tasks no single agent could handle reliably. Context engineering makes them predictable.

🔗

What is the Model Context Protocol?

MCP is Anthropic's open standard for connecting AI models to tools, data sources, and other agents. It provides structured agent orchestration with clear context boundaries — making systems transparent and debuggable.

🎯

Why Attend as a Live Workshop?

Context engineering requires hands-on practice to truly understand. This live workshop lets you build a working system with a world-class instructor answering your questions in real time.

Workshop Curriculum

What This 6-Hour Workshop Covers

Six modules. Six hours. A production-ready context-engineered AI system by the time you finish.

01

From Prompts to Semantic Blueprints

Understand why prompts fail at scale and how semantic blueprints give AI structured, goal-driven contextual awareness.

02

Multi-Agent Orchestration With MCP

Design and orchestrate multi-agent workflows using the Model Context Protocol. Build transparent, traceable agent systems.

03

High-Fidelity RAG With Citations

Build RAG pipelines that deliver accurate, cited responses. Engineer memory systems that persist context reliably across agents.

04

The Glass-Box Context Engine

Architect a transparent, explainable context engine where every decision is traceable and debuggable in production.

05

Safeguards and Trust

Implement safeguards against prompt injection and data poisoning. Enforce trust boundaries in multi-agent environments.

06

Production Deployment and Scaling

Deploy your context-engineered system to production. Apply patterns for scaling, monitoring, and reliability.

What You Walk Away With

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Context Engineering for Production AI

Everything you need to know before registering.

What are the unique challenges of deploying context-engineered AI in production? +

Production context-engineered AI faces challenges specific to its architecture: keeping multiple MCP agent servers synchronized during updates, managing the vector store as the knowledge base grows, maintaining Glass-Box log storage and query performance at scale, ensuring semantic blueprint versioning does not break running agent interactions, and operating the episodic memory store reliably across multiple agent server instances. The workshop covers each of these production-specific challenges with practical solutions.

How do I monitor context-engineered AI in production effectively? +

Effective production monitoring for context-engineered AI covers multiple layers: system health metrics (MCP server uptime and latency), retrieval quality metrics (RAG citation coverage, confidence score distributions), agent quality metrics (output schema conformance, safeguard trigger rates), and business outcome metrics (task completion rates, user correction frequency). The Glass-Box logging layer provides the raw data for all of these metrics, and the workshop covers building a monitoring dashboard that surfaces them.

What safeguard configuration is required for production context-engineered AI? +

Production safeguard configuration includes: prompt injection detection that catches attempts to override semantic blueprint instructions, output content moderation that screens generated content before delivery, access control configuration that restricts which agents can query which knowledge resources, rate limiting that prevents abuse of the agent system, and anomaly detection that flags unusual patterns in agent behavior for human review. Each safeguard layer is implemented and tested during the workshop's production preparation module.

How do I perform A/B testing of different semantic blueprints in production? +

A/B testing semantic blueprints in production uses a blueprint router that directs a configurable percentage of agent invocations to each blueprint variant, the Glass-Box logging layer to capture the quality metrics for each variant, and a statistical analysis component that determines when sufficient data has been collected to declare a winner. The workshop covers the complete A/B testing workflow for semantic blueprints with appropriate statistical rigor.

What is the continuous improvement process for context-engineered AI in production? +

The continuous improvement process for production context-engineered AI uses the Glass-Box data as the primary input: RAG retrieval quality analysis reveals knowledge base gaps, semantic blueprint quality analysis reveals specification ambiguities, safeguard trigger analysis reveals unhandled edge cases, and coordination failure analysis reveals agent interface issues. Each category of finding maps to a specific improvement action. The workshop covers this systematic improvement cycle as a regular operational process.

How do I handle context-engineered AI incidents in production? +

Production incident handling for context-engineered AI uses the Glass-Box trace system as the primary diagnostic tool: the trace for any problematic interaction shows exactly what context was provided, what each agent decided, and what outputs were produced. The incident response workflow involves: reproducing the failure using the Glass-Box trace data, identifying the root cause in the context engineering architecture, implementing a targeted fix (blueprint update, RAG reindex, safeguard rule addition, or MCP interface correction), and verifying the fix using a regression test suite.
