Christian Weilbach (https://christian.weilbach.name) will be presenting:
"Programming a business to improve itself"

Christian shows Simmis, a workspace where people and AI agents share one versioned memory of chat rooms, a wiki, a double-entry book and the code that runs them, and where every attempt happens on a fork. Participants will see agents benchmark and improve workflows in forked rooms and bring their results to review as proposals, turning the REPL loop of fork, attempt, measure and adopt into a way to program a business. He argues that programming such organisations, more than a single smarter model, is what programming AGI will look like in practice.

Christian Weilbach is the CEO of Simmis, which builds software for organisations of people and AI agents. He leads the development of Datahike, a git-like Datalog database, and the replikativ family of Clojure libraries for forkable state, synchronisation, probabilistic inference and accounting. He holds a PhD in machine learning from the University of British Columbia and has spoken at Clojure meetups since 2017, most recently on rethinking programming as inference for the Simmis project at London Clojurians in May 2026.
