Headless by Design: Building Enterprise Systems That Agents Can Actually Use

July 9, 2026 14:10 – 14:40 · 30 min Stage 11

What this session covers

AI agents don’t log in — they call APIs and execute logic at machine speed. Most enterprise architectures were built for humans, not machines, and that gap is quietly killing agentic workflows before they go live.

This session gets into the engineering reality of headless-first design: composable APIs, decoupled logic layers, and integration patterns that let any agent, app, or experience plug in without friction — regardless of your stack.

Leave with a clear framework for evaluating your architecture’s agentic readiness, and three questions to bring back to your team on Monday.
