Take AI Agents from Demo to Production with Port AI Builder

Standing up an AI agent is the easy part now. Give a developer Cursor or Claude code and a clear prompt, and they can have an SRE or release agent working by the afternoon. Six months later, most of those agents still aren’t in production, and the ones that made it often shipped with no audit trail, no approval gates, and none of your standards.

The Port AI Builder webinar shows what closes that gap.

The gap is five things, not the code

An agent that demos well still doesn’t know how your org actually works: who owns what, which approvals a change needs, or what your environments look like. The webinar breaks the demo-to-production gap into five requirements:

1. Unify the context: not just where the code lives, but who owns a service, what it depends on, what changed last deploy, and the standards the agent can’t guess, like how you release and what needs approval.
2. Build the guardrails before the agent: least-privilege access, deterministic paths, and an audit trail come first, not after it already has credentials.
3. Bake in the expertise, don’t prompt for it: senior judgement lives in reusable skills, not in your engineers head. Otherwise, fifty builders produce fifty different outputs.
4. Review the plan, not just the output: approve intent while it’s still a plan, gate by risk, route to the owner.
5. Centrally manage across the org: stay agent-agnostic, but see every agent, skill, and MCP in one place.

How AI Builder covers all five

Port AI Builder is how your team meets those requirements without wiring each one up by hand. You describe the workflow you want in plain language, and take it from there:

• Reads your services, ownership, and integrations from the Context Lake
• Brings platform engineering expertise it already has baked in
• Drafts a plan and asks clarifying questions before it builds
• Runs the build in versioned steps once you approve

The output ships production-ready instead of as a rough template. Build natively in Port or plug in the agents you already have, all of it governed and visible in one place. See more about what AI Builder does.

dLocal did exactly this

dLocal built this foundation before deploying dCoder, their internal engineering agent. Their CTO, Alberto Almeida, put it plainly: “We autonomously resolve 45% of all engineering tickets. Developers are still accountable. They just don’t need to do the grunt work.” Teams that use dCoder are more than 20% more productive, because the context, standards, and guardrails were in place before the agent, not bolted on after.
