In this talk, we'll talk about past, present and future of coding assistants. I will go over the problems of the current generation of assistants and what is causing them. Then we'll dive into way to solve those issues, namely, AI Agents. I'll talk about them in general, why and how they can help actually deliver the promise of "coding faster and smarter" and what is needed to realize those agents. We will then dive deeper into how they can be applied specifically to coding to make your everyday life easier. And we'll finish off with some examples of the ways you can incorporate such agents into your workflow already right after this talk.
