Exploring Production Reliability and Economic Value of AI Agents in the African Market Beyond the Hype

Hi Anson M.! Great to connect. I am equally interested in that "messy route"—moving past the hype phase we find ourselves in into the actual mechanics of production reliability. I am relatively new to this path but diving in headfirst. My primary focus is on the value proposition within the African market. Right now, there is massive excitement across the continent, but a significant knowledge gap exists regarding how agents actually perform in production, which I guess is a global problem. I am specifically interested in the token costs, failure patterns, and success rates impact the broader business ecosystem. We need to move from the hype of a working demo to real metrics that justify the cost of implementation. I believe building trustworthy and operable systems is the only way to bridge that gap and create actual economic value here. Looking forward to learning from your experience in observability and failure handling! We can connect more to see how we can drive this forward!
