//WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Built for engineers who ship

Software Engineers

Individual contributors who want to multiply their output and ship production-quality features at agent speed.

Engineering Teams

Teams looking to standardize on an AI-powered workflow that keeps humans in control without slowing down delivery.

Tech Leads & Architects

Leaders responsible for tooling decisions who need a clear-eyed view of what an AI software factory looks like in practice.

CTOs & Engineering Managers

Executives exploring how to reduce cost and compress timelines without sacrificing code quality or security.

//BENEFITS

What you'll walk away with

Ship in days, not months

Build systems and interfaces at a pace that was previously impossible — powered by an automated AI software factory you control.

Control your token spend

Configure and own an open-source software factory so you never hand over cost control to a black-box API.

Agents that run around the clock

Deploy a multi-agent orchestrator to your cloud of choice and let 100+ coding agents work 24/7 — long after you've closed your laptop.

//THE SHIFT

The new way to build

How Code is Changing

Yesterday

Code is artisanal

Each line of code is written by hand

Today

Spec-driven development

Concepts and algorithms are written in English. Coder works directly with an agent to publish code.

Tomorrow

Autonomous development

The software engineer builds the software factory that can act as planner, architect, designer, coder, reviewer, and devops engineer.

SDLC → Factories

Always Has Been

Software Development Lifecycle

Software Development Lifecycle — the process of how we plan, build, test, and ship software. The discipline doesn't change.

Manual Development

Now Being Done As

Factories

Today, doing SDLC means building factories. The how has evolved — AI executes the lifecycle through orchestrated, spec-driven systems.

Agent-driven development

What Participants Learn

Learn 01

AI Coding

Prompting, iteration loops, memory, and AI-native workflow design

Learn 02

AI Agents

Multi-agent systems, orchestration patterns, and scaling to teams

Learn 03

AI Code Factories

Build the full factory: spec → design → code → test → review → deploy

//WORKSHOP PLAN

Build Your Agent Factory

Development Pipeline

Step 01

Start a Project

What do you want to build?

Define your idea, goal, or problem. Your vision in plain language — what you want to build and why it matters.

↓

Step 02

Project Manifest

idea → structured intent

AI transforms your idea into a Project Manifest — goals, scope, constraints, roles, and success criteria. The living document that drives every factory decision.

↓

Step 03

Software Factory Spec

Project-specific SDLC blueprint

Generated from your manifest, specific to your project. Maps the full SDLC: workflow stages, agent roles, coding standards, quality gates, and deployment rules.

↓

Step 04

Building your Agent Factory

CORE BUILD PHASE

Agent Storage

Metadata that operates the factory

Test Cases

Unit, integration & E2E test templates

Perf Specs

Performance benchmarks & SLAs

Security Model

Access controls, trust boundaries, guardrails

Pricing Model

Token budgets & API cost thresholds

Agent Operation

The structural blueprint for ongoing agent operation

// Architect

Rules for operation

Set and update architectural rules

// Plan

Work breakdown

Create work packages for agents based on high level goals

// Design

UX systems

Create and update design systems. Deploy storybook demos.

// Validate

Test Cases

Validate acceptance criteria and build tests

// Build

Code

Generate code using artifacts and continual test output

// Review

Code Review

Automated review — style, security, and spec compliance

// Deploy

Release Gate

Quality gate — all checks must pass before shipping

// Improve

Feedback Loop

Runtime data feeds back into the spec and memory
