Beyond Prompt Engineering: Neurosymbolic Guardrails AI Agents Cannot Bypass
Prompt engineering cannot enforce business rules. Agents ignore docstring instructions, confirm bookings without payment, and accept invalid parameters—because prompts are suggestions, not constraints.
In this session, I'll compare two approaches: prompt-only rules vs neurosymbolic integration where symbolic validation executes at the tool level.
I'll build a travel booking agent where business rules (payment verification, guest limits, prerequisite checks) are enforced through verifiable code the LLM physically cannot bypass.
The result: consistent business rule compliance regardless of how creative the prompt.
Walk away with a practical pattern for combining LLM
flexibility with deterministic rule enforcement, applicable to any domain with compliance requirements.
You'll leave with working Python code and production patterns you can deploy immediately.
