IDEs with Agents to Agents with IDEs

Talk: IDEs with Agents to Agents with IDEs
What if your dev environment wasn't a tool with AI bolted on, but an AI system built around you? One that remembers your preferences, runs autonomous tasks, manages its own memory, and keeps getting better the longer you use it.
Jameson built one. It started as an IDE replacement and became the main interface to his computer — coding, research, content, orchestration, all through a single agent that knows his workflow.
What you'll learn:
- Why "agent with an IDE" beats "IDE with an agent" — and what that looks like in practice
- How persistent memory and autonomous systems change what's possible with AI agents
- A zero-install, agent-agnostic workflow for multi-phase projects that travels with your repo
- The highest-ROI practices Jameson uses to ship faster with agents
Who should attend:
- Engineers using AI agents for real projects (not just quick snippets)
- Anyone who feels like they're fighting their tools instead of building with them
- People curious about what "personal software" looks like when AI can build and maintain it
- Folks who want a portable workflow that survives changing tools/models
