AI Alliance x InnerSource Commons Pre-Summit Meetup
IBM, 1 Madison Ave, New York, NY, USAccelerating Open Innovation at the Intersection of AI and Collaborative Development
Join us for an exclusive evening bringing together visionary leaders from the AI Alliance, InnerSource Commons, IBM, Neo4j, EY, and other pioneering organizations as we explore the convergence of open AI innovation and collaborative development practices.
As the AI revolution transforms how we build, share, and scale technology, the principles of open collaboration have never been more critical. This pre-summit gathering unites two powerful movements: the AI Alliance's mission to advance open, safe, and responsible AI through community-driven innovation, and InnerSource Commons' decade-long leadership in establishing collaborative development as a strategic advantage for global enterprises.

•Online[AI Alliance] Gofannon: Ramen
Online2 attendees from 115 groupsEveryone is talking about agents; if you don't have agents already in production you are hopelessly behind. Wasn't vibe coding supposed to take care of everyone's computer problems? How am I behind if AI takes care of everything for me now? Maybe I need an MCP and then I'll be caught up. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a tool where I could just say what I wanted the agent to do and it would vibe it out for me? And then maybe I could tell it what I wanted the app to look like, and it would vibe that out too. That day is today, that tool is called gofannon.
In this talk we'll discuss our motivations for making gofannon, lessons learned that we've incorporated from prior iterations, and a (possibly live) demo where we'll go from idea to deployed app. See you there!

About the presenter
Adam Pingel (LinkedIn, GitHub) is IBM's Head of Open Tools and Applications for the AI Alliance. Adam has been fascinated by AI and chatbots since playing with Racter in the 80’s. But the “winters” were long and frequent. The stars aligned in 2015 when he became VPE at Ravel Law. Ravel was building AI-powered tools for the legal industry and was working with Harvard Law School on what is now known as the Caselaw Access Project. After an acquisition by LexisNexis in 2017, he moved his family to Raleigh (in 2019) to take the role of CTO of Global Platforms. In 2022 he joined IBM to work on domain-specific applications of generative AI. Adam holds an MS and BS in CS from UCLA and Stanford, respectively. When not at a keyboard, he enjoys spending time with his family.About the AI Alliance
