What, Why, and How AI Agents Are Reshaping CI/CD
What, Why, and How AI Agents Are Reshaping CI/CD
Agentic CI: Fight Fire with Fire
Dagger is an open-source runtime for composable workflows, built by the creators of Docker. It lets you build more powerful AI agents (or CI pipelines) with predictable behavior and complete visibility.

Jeremy Adams
Jeremy has over two decades of experience working with customers and partners to push the envelope of DevOps and DevSecOps. In his hybrid technical/business roles at GitHub, Twistlock, and Puppet, technology was always a means to a measurable business outcome, never just a science project.
Jeremy has seen the industry go from config management of servers/VMs, to containers and container orchestrators, to the rise of generative AI. Through it all, CI/CD has had relatively little real innovation and investment from leadership, so it has become the next bottleneck. Companies must unleash the powerful force of AI-generated code in their software factories to stay competitive, but they have to be prepared for the onslaught to survive.
