Learn how to manage a swarm of AI agents

Hi, I'm Eduarda.

In 2022 I started Socra, an AI company. In March 2023, we released one of the world's first AI agents. I've been context engineering ever since. Today I manage a swarm of agents.

We build the tools I manage them with. Cortex is where the knowledge my agents need lives, so any agent can load a whole domain before it starts working. The Software Fab puts idle agents to work on our open issues, so capacity we already pay for goes into the queue instead of sitting still.

I'm not a developer. Before AI, I was a mechanical engineer in the semiconductor industry. I managed teams in CMP, metrology, and photolithography. I managed my factory's cost and scrap. I was also an R&D program manager at a 3D-printing construction technology startup.

The semiconductor industry builds the chips inside all electronics, like your iPhone or your Tesla. It is the highest volume, highest yield of any manufacturing. A chip is the size of a fingernail and can be as complex as an airplane. I worked in the cleanroom fully covered, no makeup, no perfume: a single particle could destroy the entire chip. I witnessed how a fab is managed.

My co-founder came from the semiconductor industry too. He was an engineer at Apple, working on Apple silicon, before he quit to build Socra.

We built it all from scratch: our own identity, accounts, billing, package registry, container registry, and deploys.

I do this almost every day, Sunday to Sunday. My agents work any time: while I sleep, and while I travel and explore nature, one of the things I love most.
