AI-Agent Assisted Software Development - Summoning Software in the age of AI

An evening of awe, curiosity, and possibility.

Step into a beginner-friendly workshop where we explore how modern AI tools are transforming the way software is created. In the past, coding was something that felt out of reach for many - requiring years of study before you could bring even the simplest ideas to life. Today, with AI at your side, those barriers are breaking down. What once seemed impossible is now accessible, intuitive, and astonishingly fast.

This workshop is about showcasing that shift. You’ll see how anyone - even those with no prior coding experience - can turn ideas into working apps in minutes. You’ll also get a taste of how more advanced “agentic workflows” can guide AI to build, extend, and refine systems alongside you, as if you had a team of co-developers working in the background.

###

### What you'll experience

• Quick-fire demos: Watch simple ideas become apps in real time directly in the browser.
• Agentic workflows: This is where things get interesting: Learn how platforms like Augment Code allow AI to handle more complex tasks, research, and development.
• Practical starting points: Discover the most approachable tools and resources so you can begin experimenting on your own.
• Scaling with structure: See how documentation and research systems can turn AI into a reliable partner for bigger, more ambitious projects.
• A sense of perspective: Understand just how dramatically the landscape of software development has changed in recent months - and where it’s heading next.
• Sorcery & Storytelling: With a theme inspired by the School of Wit, Craft, and Wizardry and the legendary Trainscendence building, expect a touch of playfulness as we conjure apps and summon documentation to guide our AI agents.

Why attend?

This isn’t a coding bootcamp, and it’s not about overwhelming you with jargon. It’s about showing what’s possible right now. You’ll leave with inspiration, clarity, and practical next steps - whether that means tinkering with your first AI-assisted app or rethinking how you approach bigger projects.

The focus is on awe and wonder at what can be achieved when the right tools are properly harnessed.

It's reasonably absurd what is possible nowadays. The entire landscape of AI driven software development has been entirely transformed in just the past 6 months with the advent of agent-driven workflows becoming so commonplace and easy to access - this workshop is a chance to see that firsthand.

### Who should join?

• Beginners who’ve never written code but want to see what AI can unlock.
• Creatives who want faster ways to bring their visions to life.
• Makers, tinkerers, and experimenters who love trying out new tools.
• Developers curious about what’s possible with agentic AI workflows.

No experience required - just curiosity and an open mind.

### What you'll walk away with

• The excitement of seeing software come to life in minutes.
• Awareness of the key platforms shaping the future of development.
• A roadmap of where to begin and what to explore next.
• Practical examples you can take inspiration from.
• The confidence that yes, you can do this too.
