In C, mostly right crashes. Two years into building with AI, I shipped a multi-threaded PHP runtime in C — solo. The limiting factor was never the model — it was the trust infrastructure around it: domain skills, specialised reviewers, build and test agents, and adversarial design workflows. Same problem... - Twitter: https://twitter.com/johanjanssens ### Sasha Denisov - Title: CTO, Brainform.ai - Time: 12:00–12:30 - Talk: Building Voice AI Agent That Listens, Understands, and (Most Importantly) Sells - Summary: Voice commerce is moving beyond chatbots. Google's Multimodal Live API enables 600ms-latency real-time conversations with native audio, multimodal understanding, and natural interruptions via WebSocket streaming. We built an AI shopping assistant that combines Live API with RAG — accessing product catalogs and knowledge bases in real-time through function calling to guide customers through purchases by voice. This talk covers our... - Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aleks-denisov/ ### Ron Tamerin - Title: AI Architect, TamerinTECH - Time: 12:40–13:10 - Talk: How I Met Your Agent: When Clients Start Opening Pull Requests - Summary: What happens when the client's AI agent enters your development workflow? Ron shares a real-world project where both sides — the developer and a highly involved non-technical client — use AI agents throughout the process. The client participates not just through ideas and feedback, but through specifications, issues, reviews, and pull requests. The talk focuses on building a safe and... - Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ron-tamerin-tech/ ### Yusef Mohamadi - Title: Software Engineer, Delivery Hero - Time: 14:30–15:00 - Talk: Agentic Operations: Driving Speed and Efficiency with AI Orchestration - Summary: Traditional automation is no longer enough to keep pace. The future belongs to agentic operations — and we have proved it works. In this session, we share how Delivery Hero successfully transitioned from static workflows to dynamic, AI-driven orchestration, achieving extraordinary operational results. Discover how autonomous AI agents can seamlessly coordinate tasks, make real-time decisions, and eliminate bottlenecks at scale.... - Twitter: https://x.com/yuseferi ### Adi Schacham-Shavit - Title: Engineering Leader, Enpal - Time: 15:10–15:40 - Talk: Reimagining the SDLC: How Enpal Built Its Agentic AI Strategy from Scratch - Summary: When AI started reshaping software delivery, Enpal — one of Europe's largest clean energy scaleups — found no peer playbook to follow. So they built their own. Agentic AI is the next abstraction layer, and it demands reimagining the entire SDLC from the ground up — including a world where venture developers entirely outside the tech org deploy code to... - Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adi-shacham-shavit/ ### Anthony Alaribe - Title: Founder, Monoscope - Time: 15:50–16:20 - Talk: Runbooks That Think: Executable Checklists with AI in the Loop - Summary: Operational runbooks are static documents that demand constant human attention. What if they could reason, adapt, and execute autonomously? This talk explores how to turn passive checklists into dynamic, AI-driven workflows — covering the architecture, the failure modes, and the practical patterns for keeping humans in the loop when it actually matters. - Twitter: https://x.com/tonialaribe - Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-alaribe-293a41bb/ ## Workshops (17 June 2026) ### Ultimate Private AI - Instructor: Bill Kennedy (Managing Partner, Ardan Labs) - Details: https://heyai.dev/workshops/#private-ai ### Go Faster with Agents: Build Your Own Claw in Go - Instructor: Daniel Mahlow (Managing Partner & Generative AI Lead, Contiamo) - Details: https://heyai.dev/workshops/#agents ## Key Links - Home: https://heyai.dev/ - Agenda: https://heyai.dev/agenda/ - Speakers: https://heyai.dev/speakers/ - Workshops: https://heyai.dev/workshops/ - Tickets: https://heyai.dev/#tickets
