Engineering Intent in the Age of Agents

If you're still "chatting" with AI, you’re already behind. In early 2026, models shifted from conversational partners to autonomous workers that can run for days without human intervention. This shift has turned simple prompting into a high-stakes engineering discipline.

This presentation moves beyond "clever phrasing" to explore the new 4-layer stack of AI interaction: Prompt Craft, Context Engineering, Intent Engineering, and Specification Engineering. We’ll examine the 10x Gap between those who iterate in a chat box and those who build self-contained blueprints for agents. You’ll learn how to stop being a chatter and start being an architect—developing a communication discipline that makes your AI agents more capable and your human teams more aligned.
