2026 Enterprise Agentic AX Technology Trends and Harness & Loop Engineering Case Studies
Session Overview
This session examines the latest 2026 technology trends for building autonomous, execution-oriented agents in enterprise environments, including systems such as OpenClaw that can independently plan, coordinate, and carry out tasks across complex business systems.
It will also present implementation approaches and case studies from major Korean enterprises developing AX-native agents across different industries, highlighting how organizations are moving beyond isolated pilots toward production-ready agentic operating models.
Particular attention will be given to the context and memory capabilities required to build AI-ready data for the agent era. The session will explore how Harness Engineering and Loop Engineering can be used to control, evaluate, and continuously improve agent behavior across open-source frameworks and cloud-based agent platforms.
