This month, we return to the crowd-favourite topic of Agentic Systems & Harnesses! Talks: **"Patterns of Successful Agent Harnesses" - Sam Witteveen** In a talk he previously delivered at Google Cloud Next in Las Vegas, Sam will focus on the core patterns and components of successful agents and harnesses, covering patterns from coding agents like Claude Code & Codex through personal agents like OpenClaw & Hermes. These patterns clearly show what is working in building modern agents. **"Local Models & Self-Evolving Harnesses" - Martin Andrews** In his talk, Martin will first explain how a number of the recently announced self-updating harness systems work. Then, in light of the recent turbulence in the world of Foundation Models, he'll talk about Local Models, and how to increase business robustness. **FOOD UPDATE :** Google has told us that **there WILL BE** pizza at the event \-\-\- Talks will start at 7:10pm (entry at 6:45pm) and end at around 9:00pm, at which point attendees can come up to the front for a bit of a chat with each other, and the speakers. Due to some recent security incidents at the venue please take note of the new DevSpace security procedures [https://bit.ly/devspace-security](https://bit.ly/devspace-security) Attendees will not be admitted later than 15min after the talks have started. As always, we're actively looking for more speakers - both '30 minutes long-form', and lightning talks. For the lightning talks, we welcome folks to come and talk about something cool they've done with keras, PyTorch, JAX and/or Deep Learning for 5-10mins (so, if you have slides, then #max=10). We believe that the key ingredient for the success of a Lightning Talk is simply the cool/interesting factor. It doesn't matter whether you're an expert or an enthusiastic beginner: Given the responses we have had to previous talks, we're sure there are lots of people who would love to hear what you've been playing with. If you're interested in talking, please just introduce yourself to Martin at one of the events.

Join us for an exclusive in-person hands-on workshop on 24 June in in Singapore to elevate your software development practice using Agentic Spec Coding with Claude Code. ### **What is this Workshop?** This is a **5-hour, hands-on workshop** on **Spec Coding** and **Agentic Engineering** using **Claude Code** — held in-person in Singapore's CBD on **24 June 2025, 1pm–6pm**. If you've been experimenting with AI coding tools, vibe coding, or copy-pasting prompts into ChatGPT or Claude — and wondering why your projects break the moment you try to scale — this workshop is built for you. You'll learn the exact methodology that separates developers who build reliable, AI-powered software from those stuck in an endless loop of fixing hallucinated code. **Seats are strictly limited to 20 participants.** ### **What is Spec Coding?** Spec Coding is a structured, specification-driven approach to AI-assisted software development. Instead of casually prompting an AI and hoping for the best (vibe coding), you write clear **functional blueprints** that guide Claude Code — or any AI coding agent — to produce consistent, scalable, and maintainable output. Spec Coding is the foundation of **Agentic Engineering**: directing teams of automated AI agents to write, test, and fix code as a coordinated pipeline — not as a one-shot prompt. This workshop teaches you both. ### **What you'll learn (workshop Agenda)** **1\. Moving Beyond Random "Vibe Coding"** Understand why copy-pasting prompts fails at scale and what separates vibe coding from a repeatable engineering process. You'll leave with a mental model that changes how you interact with AI development tools forever. **2\. Writing Clear App Blueprints** Master the art of writing functional specifications — structured documents that tell Claude Code exactly what to build, how to handle edge cases, and what the expected outputs are. This is the core skill that unlocks reliable AI-generated code. **3\. Building Your Live Portfolio Website** Apply spec coding in real time to deploy a personal portfolio website. You will write the spec, run it through Claude Code, iterate, and publish — all within the session. **4\. Building a Smart Mini\-CRM App** Level up by tackling complex application state and data persistence. You'll build a functional mini-CRM app, confronting the exact challenges that trip up most AI-assisted development projects — and solving them systematically. **5\. Working with AI Developer Teams** Go beyond single-agent prompting. Learn how to direct multiple automated AI agents to write different parts of your codebase in parallel — the way professional agentic engineers work. **6\. Running Test\-Driven AI Pipelines** Learn agentic engineering techniques to automatically test, identify bugs, and trigger fix cycles — without manual intervention. This is how you ship software that actually works. ### **Who should attend?** This workshop is designed for: * **Startup founders** who want to ship products faster without a large engineering team * **Seasoned developers** looking to multiply their output using AI coding agents * **Software engineering leaders** exploring agentic workflows and AI-native development * **Product managers** who want to build and prototype without being blocked by developers * **Students and early-career technologists** who want to be AI-native engineers from day one **No advanced coding background required** — but participants should come prepared to build. All participants are expected to have an active **Claude Code subscription**. ### **Instructor: Santosh Rout** **Santosh Rout** is the founder of [navan.ai](https://navan.ai/ "https://navan.ai") and Saaragh, with over **25 years of experience** in the IT and AI industry. He is the creator of **[sam.navan.ai](https://sam.navan.ai/ "https://sam.navan.ai")** — a leading Agentic Spec Coding platform — and has helped countless founders and engineering teams bridge the gap between complex product ideas and working, scalable software. Santosh's expertise sits at the intersection of **agentic workflows**, **specification-driven development**, and **production AI systems**. He has built multiple successful AI products and brings hard-won, practitioner-level knowledge to every session. ### **What past participants have built?** After attending navan.ai's spec coding and agentic engineering workshops, participants have gone on to build: * **A Peer-to-Peer Delivery Platform** — allowing travellers to list journeys and get paid to carry parcels along their route * **An EdTech Platform for Extra-Curricular Tracking** — helping students record and measure the impact of volunteering and extracurricular activities * **An AI-Powered CCTV Planning Tool** — where users upload floor plans and the system automatically suggests optimal camera placements and generates real-time quotes These are not toy projects. These are production-grade apps built by non-engineers using spec coding. ### **What a past participant said** *"Thank you for taking the time to conduct the session on Agentic Spec Coding. The discussion gave me a much better understanding of the concepts and practical approach involved. I especially found the insights very helpful. I look forward to applying what I learned and continuing to improve my skills in this area."* — **Anitha P**, Virtual Participant. **View snapshots of our previous workshops, bootcamps, and hackathons: [https://asca.navan.ai/gallery/](https://asca.navan.ai/gallery/ "https://asca.navan.ai/gallery/")** ### **Event details** **Date:** Wednesday, 24 June 2025 **Time:** 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM SGT **Format:** In-person, hands-on workshop **Location:** **CBD / Central Business District, Singapore *(exact venue will be shared with registered participants in a few days)*** **Seats:** Limited to 20 participants **Prerequisite:** Active Claude Code subscription **Fee:** SGD 200 (20% discount available for group registrations of 4 or more together) **Organiser:** [Navan.ai](https://navan.ai/ "https://navan.ai") ### **Register here: [https://luma.com/ly7pzcdr](https://luma.com/ly7pzcdr)** ### **Frequently asked questions** **Do I need to be a developer to attend?** Not necessarily. The workshop is designed for founders, PMs, and builders — not just developers. A basic comfort with technology helps, but the methodology is accessible to anyone willing to engage actively. **What do I need to bring?** Your laptop and an active Claude Code subscription. Come ready to build. **Why is this better than just watching YouTube tutorials on Claude Code?** Tutorials show you what's possible. This workshop gives you a repeatable system — spec coding methodology — that you can apply to any project, of any complexity, without breaking things the moment requirements change. **What makes spec coding different from vibe coding?** Vibe coding is ad-hoc: you describe what you want loosely and hope the AI figures it out. Spec coding is structured: you write a functional blueprint that the AI executes deterministically. The output is modular, maintainable, and won't collapse when you need to iterate. **Is this workshop specific to Claude Code?** The hands-on work uses Claude Code, and participants will need a Claude Code subscription. However, the spec coding methodology taught is platform-agnostic — it applies to any AI coding agent. *Organised by [navan.ai](https://navan.ai/ "https://navan.ai") — the agentic spec coding platform powering the next generation of AI-native builders.* *Got questions?

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
