AI Rewrote the Rules of What to Build

We're back with another interesting topic, this time in english!

Abstract
Everyone's talking about AI as a tool for writing code faster. But that's just one way AI has entered your life as a developer — and arguably the least consequential for what you actually ship.

This talk is about how AI changed what we can and should build.

AI agents are rapidly becoming primary consumers of software. As humans delegate more tasks to autonomous agents, we need to think beyond UX to AX — the agent's experience. We'll explore what it takes to build software that agents can and will actually use, so your products stay relevant as user behavior shifts.

At the same time, publicly available models and LLM APIs have made it easier than ever to integrate AI-based capabilities into your own software. But these probabilistic components behave fundamentally differently from everything else in your system and come with pitfalls most developers only discover the hard way. We'll address how to avoid them and capitalize on the new opportunities AI unlocks.

No background in machine learning required. But you'll leave with a clearer picture of the decisions that will determine whether what you build survives — and thrives — in the age of AI.
