Conquering Agent Chaos — Rick Blalock, Agentuity
Jul 1, 2025 · 14:40
Rick Blalock, founder of Agentuity, argues that deploying AI agents remains the number one headache for developers, citing common issues like serverless timeouts (agents running 15–30 minutes), statelessness, and networking complexities. He demonstrates Agentuity’s platform, which treats agents as first-class infrastructure citizens: users scaffold projects via a CLI (supporting Bun, Python/UV, Node.js), write a simple request handler, and deploy with automatic routing, tunneling, and a built-in AI gateway that tracks costs per run. The platform decouples inputs and outputs—agents can be triggered via email, SMS, webhooks, or cron—and provides human and agent-facing telemetry via OTel tracing. Blalock notes Agentuity already hosts 50–60 internal agents and is building infrastructure agents to replace tools like PagerDuty, with plans to add Slack/Discord integrations and service-level reasoning capabilities.
