LLMs are stateless by nature - each interaction is isolated, with no memory of prior prompts. But financial agents often need context to manage complex, multi-step tasks like loan approvals, insurance claims, or trading workflows. This requires two complementary mechanisms: state for tracking execution progress, and memory for maintaining conversational context across interactions.
Summary: Google's AgentOps - From Prototype to Production
This post continues our coverage of Google’s agent whitepaper series, following Introduction to Agents, Agent Tools & MCP, Context Engineering, and Agent Quality & Evaluation. This fifth installment tackles the critical challenge: how do we move agents from demo to production?

Summary: Google's Agent Quality & Evaluation Framework
This post continues our coverage of Google’s agent whitepaper series, following Introduction to Agents, Agent Tools & MCP, and Context Engineering. This fourth installment tackles perhaps the most critical challenge: how do we know if an agent is actually good?

Summary: Google's Context Engineering - Sessions & Memory
This is the third installment in our Agentic AI series, following Google’s Introduction to Agents and Agent Tools & MCP. While those papers covered agent architecture and tool integration, this one focuses on how agents manage context across conversations through sessions and memory.

Financial Tools and Structured Outputs
Language models are strong at reasoning, but without tools, they can only talk - not act. For financial applications requiring precise calculations, real-time data access, or system integrations, tool-augmented agents are essential. Combined with structured outputs using Pydantic, we can build reliable financial systems that guarantee data format compliance.
Summary: Google's Agent Tools & MCP Interoperability
Following our coverage of Google’s Introduction to Agents, this post dives into the companion whitepaper on Agent Tools and Model Context Protocol (MCP). While the first paper covered agent architecture, this one focuses on how agents interact with the world through tools and the emerging interoperability standard.

Summary: Google's Introduction to Agents
As part of our journey exploring agentic AI systems, Google’s November 2025 whitepaper “Introduction to Agents” offers valuable industry perspective on production-grade agent architecture. This post summarizes the key concepts: core architecture, Agent Ops, security patterns, and self-evolving systems. It complements what we’ve covered in our Agentic AI series.

Orchestrating Financial Operations
When financial workflows become too complex for simple parallel processing or chaining, the orchestrator-worker pattern provides dynamic coordination. Unlike fixed workflows, an orchestrator analyzes problems at runtime, breaks them into subtasks, and delegates work to specialized agents. This is the pattern that ties together everything we’ve learned - bringing intelligent coordination to financial operations.
