Get up to speed on AI-powered development in 30 minutes, then put it into practice during open spaces mobbing. This session gives you the mental models and practical foundations to start using AI tools effectively today.

Learn the Core 4 Framework (Model, Context, Prompt, Tools), understand how to evaluate AI tools for your workflow, configure agent memory for context-aware interactions, and master prompt patterns that get better results.

Then, during open spaces, bring your own codebase and problems. We'll mob on real tasks: setting up agent memory files, crafting prompts for debugging and testing, evaluating tools for your stack, and integrating AI into CI/CD workflows. Skepticism welcome—no code, no problem—we'll have examples ready.
