Teaching AI to Use Your Tools: It's Not Just Devs Using Your Code Anymore

Details

AI isn’t just assisting us anymore — it’s starting to use our tools.
But here’s the catch:
Most code is built for humans.
AI needs structure. It needs affordances. It needs clarity.

In this session, I’ll walk through what it really takes to make your code AI-usable:

  • What makes a tool “agent-ready”
  • Why LLMs struggle with human-centric code
  • How to redesign commands, scripts, and APIs so AI can call them reliably
  • Real examples from my own PowerShell modules
  • How I used ChatGPT and Copilot to create agent-friendly wrappers — recursively

You’ll see live demos, practical techniques, and new ways to think about your codebase.

Whether you're experimenting with Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, or anything else — this session will help you level up and see your stack through AI’s eyes. 👀
