The Cautious AI Champion: What I Learned Onboarding Agents to Legacy Code
When I first volunteered for my company's newly founded AI Champions team, it was because working with AI was (and still is) the most fun I've had in years, yet I keenly felt it's also the most divisive technological advancement of our time.

My team works on a real legacy codebase: the first commit was in 2004. There's no model trained on our highly custom application, and most tools were set up to give broad access -- to humans, not agents. Meanwhile, the team is made up of skeptics, enthusiasts, and the curious alike. Adopting AI in our team posed a real challenge in both change and risk management. This talk is about what I learned doing exactly that for the past 12 months.

About the sponsor
At the heart of our company lies a story of entrepreneurship and technological ingenuity. Let's Talk https://letstalk.nl, which started as a physical store where telephone subscriptions were taken out, has developed into a pioneer in the telecom industry. The driving force behind this evolution? Marcel, our founder and former owner, who was convinced that the telephone subscription process could be much simpler.
Marcel took matters into his own hands and independently developed software that not only simplified the creation of subscriptions, but also lifted sales to new heights. This self-designed software grew to become the backbone of telecom departments at leading retailers such as Media Markt Netherlands, Media Markt Belgium and Phone House Netherlands.
At Let's Talk we not only embrace change, but we strive to actively shape the future. In addition to our technological developments, we are also moving towards a fully agile scrum organization, where flexibility and collaboration are central. At the same time, we are working on a transformation towards talent-driven collaboration, in which we combine the unique strengths of our employees to achieve joint success.
Our story is one of continuous evolution, driven by the desire to make the telephone subscription process even more efficient and customer-friendly.
