What if you could tell an AI agent "explore this app and find accessibility issues" and watch it navigate your mobile app autonomously? AutoMobile makes this possible today.
AutoMobile is an open-source MCP server that gives AI agents native control over Android and iOS devices using natural language. It combines platform tools (adb, simctl) with custom Kotlin AccessibilityService and Swift XCTestService to enable AI-driven mobile workflows that are 10x faster than existing automation frameworks.
Live demonstrations include:
\- Install & run from scratch
\- AI agent running UX deep dive\, reproducing bugs
\- Accessibility & performance audits
\- What running tests looks like
\- Prototype IDE integration

Powering AI with Data Modernization: ETL Using Databricks & Unity Catalog
**Title**: Powering AI Through Data Modernization: Modernizing ETL with Databricks & Unity Catalog
In this session, we will discuss how enterprises are modernizing their data platforms by migrating from legacy ETL tools (such as Informatica and traditional data warehouses) to Databricks Lakehouse architecture, and how Unity Catalog enables enterprise-grade governance, security, and discoverability across data and AI assets.
We will start with food and drinks at 6pm and then move into the presentation at 6:30pm.
The session will cover:
* Why traditional ETL platforms are becoming a bottleneck for scale, cost, and AI adoption
* How Databricks changes the data engineering and analytics operating mode
* The role of Unity Catalog in centralized governance

NOVA Code and Coffee is an inclusive, informal, co-working session. People of all skill levels are invited. The concept is simple, bring a laptop and ideas, we'll provide the coffee and donuts! Here's how it works:
1. At 10:15 everyone introduces themselves and briefly describes what brought them to Code & Coffee today (project, homework, networking, etc)
2. For the rest of the day, folks work in the communal space on their projects providing one another help and conversation as needed. Oh and they usually drink coffee and tea too!
That's it! Hope to see you there!
