▶️ AI Is Just JavaScript: Building Powerful Agents with Google ADK & RAG

Most valuable company data is private: documents, presentations, internal notes, yet AI tools can’t use it out of the box. In this talk, we’ll show how easy it is to build an AI agent that can securely read Google Drive data and answer real business questions using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

Through a simple JavaScript demo with Google ADK and Vertex AI, you’ll see how private docs and slides can power use cases like internal knowledge assistants, onboarding bots, management Q&A, and support automation without complex ML infrastructure.

This session is for developers, founders, and tech leaders who want practical, production-ready AI use cases and a clear understanding of how to turn existing company data into useful AI agents.

▶️ Comprehend First, Code Later: The AI Skill I Rely On Daily

Literally everyone is vibe coding. It's about letting AI write, commit, and ship code you never even read. Perfect for prototypes and side projects - no argument there. But what happens when you're working in a million-line codebase where you need to understand before you change? Quality code still matters.

It is widely stated in the software development community that developers spend 70–80% of their time reading and understanding existing code, not writing new code. We now have an incredibly smart tool - so why not use it for exactly that?

So I went straight to the data - 239 of my own messages from daily work at Sentry. What I found flipped the narrative: my #1 use of AI wasn't generation. It was comprehension. Whether navigating unfamiliar code or reconstructing past decisions from commit history - AI became the teammate who never gets tired of my questions.

In this talk, I'll show you the loop that actually makes me productive in a large, complex codebase: understand first, then say 'go ahead'.

🙏 Sentry
Sentry is the market leader in the error monitoring space and like many startups with engineer founders, Sentry was born out of frustration with technology. David started Sentry as an open-source side project in 2008. We started in a small community — the Django web framework — and over time expanded our technology to support dozens of other platforms, including browser JavaScript and mobile applications.
Fast forward to today, we're a $90M Series E company with a $3B valuation and 200+ employees on a mission to help developers write better software faster, so we can get back to enjoying technology. As one can see, the adventure continues to be exciting as we bring our developer-first Application Monitoring to more customers and industries worldwide.
