Loop Engineering Explained: The AI Skill That Comes After Prompting
Udacity — Aug 20, 2026 — talk
Why watch
This video introduces loop engineering as the next evolution beyond prompt engineering, explaining how to design AI systems that autonomously write prompts, check outputs, and iterate until tasks complete. Simon Allardice covers the 5-step loop structure, distinguishes agentic loops from standard AI agents, presents the Ralph loop pattern, and details the risks of running AI loops unattended. Targeted at software developers looking to adopt AI automation practices in their workflow.
