Agentic AI dev has taken our industry by storm, from coding agents and AI code reviews to fully AI-powered product experiences. Every week brings a new framework, tool, or platform to learn, and while everyone is speculating about the future of software development, most of us still have to ship real software today. Building apps is both easier AND more complicated than ever.

In this talk, Maddy Montaquila, lead PM for Aspire, shares her grounded perspective from the front lines, drawing on her work making Aspire the best platform for building agentic applications - and making Aspire itself agent-enabled.

It's possible to build AI-driven applications with coding agents, without giving up control, clarity, or your sanity. Join Maddy to learn about how using the right abstractions, strong defaults, and guardrails can let AI accelerate development instead of derailing it.
