Vibe Check at Replay '26: w/ Ritika Shrivastava, Brian Douglas, Beverly Leu, & Johann Schleier-Smith

Day one of Vibe Check live from Replay 2026. 

Ritika Shrivastava from Ember Robotics talks about what the AI agent world is rediscovering that robotics has known for years, and where companies trip up scaling from one robot to a hundred. 

Brian Douglas from Paper Compute breaks down their work on agent runtime and durable session recording, and where context engineering is heading post-MCP. 

Beverly Leu from Chime walks through what it actually takes to ship AI in a regulated fintech: evals as a discipline, domain experts in the loop, and per-model harnesses. 

We close with Johann Schleier-Smith from Temporal on the AI announcements from the keynote: priority and fairness, large payload storage, workflow streams, serverless workers, and where the harness conversation is heading.
