How to Build Auditable Agents Using Context Graphs - Nyah Macklin

Description

Your AI agent just denied someone's loan application. Or it approved a $100K credit line increase. Or it rejected a prior authorization for medical treatment. Now you’re in court. And someone asks you to explain its decision. What are you going to say? In production, AI agents are making real decisions that impact real people's lives, and when those decisions get challenged by customers, compliance teams, auditors, or courts, you need answers. This session will teach the best techniques to build AI agents that will pass an audit, using context graphs. Instead of black-box reasoning, you get complete decision traceability showing what information the agent considered, which factors influenced its choice, what alternatives it evaluated, and exactly how it reached its conclusion. I'll demo an AI agent evaluating a credit line increase request, then we'll trace the complete reasoning chain from input to output. We aren’t building this agent to simply explain itself (or hallucinate when explaining itself) after the fact. We are building it to capture decision-making as queryable graph structures, and get working code for building agents that can actually justify their decisions. So the next time anyone asks why your agent made that decision, you'll have a real answer.
