Kent C. Dodds – The new "App Store"
Software Engineer and Educator
We are entering a new era of user interaction. It's being built right before our very eyes and changing rapidly. As crazy as it sounds, soon each one of us will get our own Jarvis capable of performing actually useful tasks for us with a completely different user interaction mechanism than we're used to.
But someone's gotta give Jarvis the tools to perform these tasks.
In this talk, Kent will live code an MCP server and use it with an AI assistant to help us catch the vision of what this future could look like and our role in it.
20:10 - 20:20
