## Description

Building AI agents that process legal documents with 10,000+ pages requires more than throwing context at an LLM. This talk dissects our production event-driven architecture.

You'll learn:
- Why synchronous LLM calls fail at legal document scale - the cold start and a timeout problem
- Event-driven orchestration patterns for multi-step agent workflows (planning, dynamic loading, context assembly)
- Long-context chunking strategies that preserve legal reasoning chains
- Cost optimization: how we reduced per-request costs 73% through intelligent caching and selective context loading
- Production failure modes: what breaks when agents plan incorrectly

Concrete architecture, real metrics, battle-tested patterns. No theoretical frameworks - this is what actually runs in production, processing legal contracts for 10M+ users.
