**"One architect with an AI Agent fleet is a department. Don't be the one being out-scaled"** AI is no longer just helping developers write code. It is changing how products are built — from writing code to managing autonomous AI agents. Master the **Economics of Autonomy** to scale your business using tokens instead of headcount, while evolving from a coder into an **Architect** who commands an AI fleet. No fluff—just a live build of an agent's "brain," setting operational guardrails, and calculating real ROI for the 2026 work model. This session combines two perspectives: • Strategic — how AI agents reshape teams, costs, and product development • Practical — what actually happens when you try to use them in real coding workflows No hype. No polished demos. Just how things really work in 2026. **No hype, no spiritual fluff—just the blueprint for the 2026 operations model.** **IS THIS FOR YOU?** * **FOR BUSINESS (Founders & Managers):** * **The Problem:** Scaling with people is slow, expensive, and increasingly inefficient. * **The Shift:** Autonomous workflows (“digital workers”) start replacing routine execution. **What you’ll see:** • How AI agents can replace repetitive tasks • How to think in cost-per-task instead of salary • Where most AI initiatives fail • What early-stage adoption actually looks like * **FOR TECH (Engineers & Architects):** * **The Problem:** If AI can write code — what is your role? **The Shift:** From writing code → to controlling systems that generate and evolve it. **What you’ll see:** • How to use AI agents as co-pilots (not toys) • Why most generated code fails without control • What “agent architecture” looks like in practice • How real workflows differ from demos **THE AGENDA (60 Minutes of Reality)** * **Part 1 — Strategy & Reality (Ivan, CTO)** • Why 90% of AI projects fail • The Economics of Autonomy: tokens vs headcount • What “AI agents” actually are (beyond buzzwords) • Guardrails: autonomy without losing control • The 2026 operating model **Part 2 — Live Reality Check (Sergii, Architect)** A real AI coding agent, live: • Task → agent execution • Where it breaks (and it will) • How to control and correct it • How rules, constraints, and structure change the outcome **WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH:** * **Engineers:** A clear view of how to move from “code writer” to “agent controller”. **Managers:** A practical lens on where AI can (and cannot) replace work. **Everyone:** A grounded understanding of what is real — and what is noise — in AI development today.

**History** The history of [Blendon Woods Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/blendon-woods/) began long before its 1951 opening, rooted in a landscape of rugged ridges and deep ravines that made the land unsuitable for traditional farming. In 1945, a report proposing a metropolitan park system for Franklin County specifically highlighted these cliffs of Bedford Shale as some of the "wildest land in the vicinity". Following this recommendation, the recently formed park district purchased the first 229 acres in early 1949. Because the terrain was so uneven, developers had to cut a mile-and-a-half-long roadway through dense woods just to bring in heavy equipment. This initial preservation effort ensured that the mature second-growth hardwood forests remained largely untouched by the urban expansion spreading toward Westerville. Opening day arrived on Labor Day, September 3, 1951, marking Blendon Woods as the second park in the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks system. The final push to open was a frantic race; the State Highway Department only finished the primary gravel access road four days before the gates opened. Early staff members, consisting of just four full-time employees, had to hand-dig pit toilets and learn construction skills on the fly to build the first picnic shelters. Despite the dusty conditions and limited facilities, the park was an immediate success, drawing massive crowds from across Central Ohio. By the end of the 1950s, annual visitation had already climbed to over 190,000 people. As the surrounding suburbs grew in the 1960s, the park faced severe overcrowding that threatened its natural habitats. In response, Franklin County voters passed the first Metro Parks levy in 1960, providing the funds necessary for a decade of steady expansion. During this era, the park nearly doubled in size, growing from 264 acres to over 570 acres by 1968. Planners also addressed a critical water shortage by collaborating with the U.S. Soil and Conservation Service to build a lake in 1964. This body of water originally served as a temporary reservoir before its role shifted toward conservation and wildlife support. The 1970s marked a transition toward the specialized wildlife and educational focus for which the park is known today. In 1971, the Walden Waterfowl Refuge was established around the 11-acre Thoreau Lake, creating a sanctuary that remains restricted to provide a quiet habitat for migratory birds. A formal nature center was also developed during this period, expanding on the guided Sunday walks that had been a park staple since the early 1950s. The park’s famous "Monarch Mansion" also became a prominent fixture, starting a long tradition of raising and releasing thousands of monarch butterflies each September. These initiatives cemented the park’s reputation as a premier destination for birders and nature enthusiasts. In more recent decades, Blendon Woods has continued to modernize while maintaining its wilderness character. The 10-acre Natural Play Area was added in 2017, encouraging kids to explore the ravines and woods off-trail. This was followed by the opening of a $1.5 million inclusive playground in April 2025, designed to accommodate children of all physical abilities. The nature center also underwent major renovations to include immersive, three-dimensional exhibits and a new butterfly house. Today, the park encompasses 653 acres, preserving a unique geologic and biological corridor amidst the bustling Westerville and Northeast Columbus area. **Map of the Park** Here is a map of [Blendon Woods](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/BLN_map_Inclusive-Playground-and-Butterfly-Trail_May-2025_1980px.png). **Summary** For this event, we will hike the Lake View, Hickory Ridge, Ripple Rock, Overlook, Brookside, and Sugarbush Trails. This sounds like a lot, but it will really be only a little over five miles. Blendon Woods has a few hills here and there, but it's not one of the more strenuous metro parks. **Where We'll Meet** We'll meet just in front of the Nature Center. This is about a mile into the park from the main entrance. You have to go past the Ranger Station and the Shadblow Reservable Area to get to it, so don't stop too early at the Ranger Station and get it confused with the Nature Center. **After the Hike** Afterward, we will head over to [Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/) at Easton for [drinks](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/#dinner-menu) and [food](https://forbiddenroot.com/wp-content/uploads/Cbus-Food.pdf). We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks. The brewery's actual address is [4080 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4080+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88388a86d10b6619:0x4d42b470a5cf11d3?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111); however, I recommend pointing your GPS to the [Worth Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Worth+Garage/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388b4df6082825:0x17582f0eccd9dda1!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11rzfvvv8b?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQxNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) across the street. Parking in this garage is free as long as you're not on the first floor, and it is literally right next to the brewery.

We will have dinner after our drink at the speakeasy. If people want to attend both the speakeasy and dinner please rsvp for both events. This is the menu for dinner: https://www.highbankco.com/westerville

PO Box 21. Is a speakeasy in the basement of Highbanks Distillery in Westerville. Check out the menu: https://www.poboxtwentyone.com/home

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.
