Ever wondered how coding agents generate code for you? Tools like Cursor and Claude Code like to make it seem like what they do is magic, but the truth is a lot simpler than you've been led to believe.

Let's open up the black box and see exactly how these AI-powered coding assistants work by building one ourselves in C#!

In this session, Spencer breaks down the core mechanics behind many of today's popular coding agents. We'll explore how they understand code context, generate code, and even automate fixing bugs. By constructing our own simplified coding agent step-by-step, you'll gain practical insights into the inner workings and capabilities of these powerful - yet simple - AI tools.

By the end of this session, you'll have a deeper understanding of how AI coding agents function under the hood, and come away with a much broader understanding of AI tooling in general.
