AI coding assistants are powerful, but they still behave like solo developers: helpful, fast, occasionally brilliant and absolutely convinced they can do everything themselves. Squad fixes that by giving you what every engineering leader secretly wants: a team of AI agents who actually collaborate, don't argue about tabs vs. spaces, and never ask for a meeting that could've been a pull request.

In this session, I'll walk through how to get Squad up and running without summoning a small army of Markdown files. We'll cover the basics of how Squad thinks, how to set it up in your environment, and how to drop it into an existing repository without breaking anything your team loves... or at least tolerates. I'll also show how to use Squad to kick off new work, guide feature development, and keep the agents aligned with your architecture instead of wandering off to "improve" things you didn't ask for.

If you're curious about multi‑agent development or looking for a pragmatic way to scale delivery without scaling headcount, this talk will show you how Squad turns AI from a single helper into a collaborative engineering team you can actually trust and one that never complains about sprint planning.
