Siddhartha Borah from Brackett: teaching agents work that was never written down (Heavybit DevGuild)
About this episode
In this episode, Siddhartha Borah, cofounder and CTO of Brackett AI, joins us at Heavybit DevGuild. Siddhartha explains how Brackett is building agents that can learn complex business work — especially in areas like supply chain and operations, where the real context often lives in people’s heads rather than documentation. We talk about teaching agents by doing the work, turning messy human knowledge into reliable workflows, agent-in-the-loop systems, memory, knowledge graphs, and why the last mile of enterprise automation is so hard.
