The Agent Development Lifecycle Loop
June 8, 2025
Traditional software is clean and predictable. Agents aren’t. They deal in language, ambiguity, and real-world messiness—so they need a different way to be built. The Agent Development Lifecycle (ADLC) starts with actual conversations, not specs, and loops through evaluation, building, and release until the agent works in production. It’s part software, part machine learning, and all grounded in reality. At Minded, we treat agents like code, test them like products, and improve them one real conversation at a time. If you're building agents, this is the loop to build them right.
