The transition from standard code completion to true Agentic Software Engineering is here, and it’s living in your terminal. But we aren’t just going to talk about it, we’re going to build it.

This is not a "how-to" presentation; it is a 100% hands-on session driven by the audience. We will begin by selecting a live project directly from the room, either diving into an attendee's existing open-source repository or spinning up a brand-new greenfield project on the spot.

What will be covered:
- The Anatomy of an Agent: Understanding the underlying architecture of intelligent entities capable of reasoning through complex tasks.
- Live Orchestration: Watch in real-time as we leverage the GitHub Copilot CLI and agentic tools to diagnose bugs, automate refactors, and execute multi-step workflows.
- The AI Toolbox: An exploration of the specific tools and skills needed to bridge the gap between developer intent and autonomous execution.
- Maintaining Sovereignty: How to properly architect your environment and project setup so you can harness AI power without losing control of your codebase.

No slides, no fluff. We spend the entire session in the terminal, transforming it into a high-leverage command center. You will leave with a practical framework for turning your CLI into an autonomous collaborator, knowing how to actually use AI (the Copilot CLI) as the number one active developer of your team.

This is now a hey nice, look at what we can talk, this is a talk that comes from experience and shows folks how to do it. 90% of this session is live coding with AI
