Welcome and Opening Remarks

β€‹β€‹πŸŽ€ Asako Hayase, Community Ambassador - Pacer at Daytona

Talk "Forkable Sandboxes for Long-Running Agents"​

β€‹πŸŽ€ Muhammad Annas Hashmi, DevRel at Daytona

​​​​​​​​Outline:

​Agents are starting to do real software work: installing dependencies, editing files, running tests, starting servers, and debugging over long sessions. But most AI systems still treat each run like a disposable prompt-response loop. That breaks down once the useful state lives not just in tokens, but in the actual machine.

This talk is about the runtime layer agents need to become reliable builders. I’ll show how forkable Daytona sandboxes let you pause at important moments in an agent run, branch the environment, and sample multiple continuations from the same machine state. For builders, this turns long-running agent workflows into something you can inspect, compare, recover, and eventually optimize.


β€‹β€‹πŸ•’ 5:50 pm – 6:05 pm
Talk "The Modular Self-Driving Codebase"

β€‹β€‹πŸŽ€ Matt Dzwonczyk, Software Engineer at WorkOS

​​​​​​​​Outline:

​Self-driving codebases are gaining ground, but the underlying tools and workflows change every week. How do you build an agentic system that doesn't need a rewrite every time the landscape shifts? We’ll explore how WorkOS built Horizon, a modular self-driving codebase, and how we use it to take product features from discovery to deployment with the right context at every step.


β€‹β€‹πŸ•’ 6:05 pm – 6:20 pm
Talk β€œFrom AI Experiments to Production: How Teams Actually Scale AI Workflows”

β€‹β€‹πŸŽ€ Jullian Pepito, Solutions Architect at Coder

​​​​​​​​Outline:

​AI is everywhere in development, but most teams struggle to move from working experiments to reliable production workflows. Code may be generated faster, but workflows break, outputs aren’t trusted, and governance often comes too late. This talk focuses on how teams are redesigning development workflows to truly work with AI, covering structure, agent management, and the right level of control. No hype or tool comparisons, just a clear look at why AI workflows fail and what actually works at scale.


β€‹β€‹πŸ•’ 6:20 pm – 6:30 pm
Talk β€œHow to build your own Agent Harness for Code Review”

β€‹β€‹πŸŽ€ Hendrik Krack - Developer Advocate at CodeRabbit

​​​​​​​​Outline:

​A single LLM call is not a code review agent. This talk dives into what it takes to build the harness around it β€” how to select the right context beyond the diff, how to prompt for structured and calibrated findings, how to wire up an orchestration layer that runs reliably on every pull request, and how to close the loop with a feedback mechanism that learns your team's preferences over time.


β€‹β€‹πŸ•’ 6:30 pm – 6:40 pm
Talk β€œAG-UI & The Generative UI Spectrum”

β€‹β€‹πŸŽ€ Tyler Slaton, Senior Founding Engineer at CopilotKit

​​​​​​​​Outline:

​As AI agents become central to modern applications, the challenge isn't building the agent β€” it's connecting it to a UI that users can actually interact with. This talk explores the AG-UI protocol and CopilotKit's approach to agentic frontends, covering three patterns for Generative UI (controlled, declarative, and open-ended) and bidirectional agent state sync. You'll leave with concrete patterns for building production-ready agentic applications where both the user and the agent can drive the UI.


β€‹β€‹πŸ•’ 6:40 pm – 6:50 pm
Talk β€œOverlooked components of the software factory”

β€‹β€‹πŸŽ€ Micha (mies) Hernandez van Leuffen, Founder & CEO at Fiberplane

​​​​​​​​Outline:

​The software factory is more than code generation: it also includes the overlooked systems that give agents context, memory, and constraints. In this talk, I’ll argue that issue trackers, plans, documentation bindings, and structural rules are not peripheral tooling, but core infrastructure for reliable agentic
