Bad designs are still bad. AI doesn’t make it good. The novelty of AI makes the bad things tolerable, for a short time. Building great designs and experiences with AI have the same first principles pre-AI. When people use software, they want it to feel responsive, safe, accessible and delightful. We’ll go over the big and small details that goes into software that people want to use, not forced to use. About John Pham I'm John Pham, an engineer and a self-taught designer. I seek the dopamine hits of buildin ...

You've made the demo. How do you make the product? A lot of AI products don't actually work. Even worse, a lot of the techniques being advertised for making AI products better don't work either. We'll cover the challenges + techniques we've seen actually work in the real world. About Ben Hylak Ben Hylak is co-founder at Raindrop, building Sentry for AI products. He was previously a designer at Apple for 4 years, building the Apple Vision Pro. About Sid Bendre Sid Bendre is the co-founder of Oleve, a company ...

Code is the lingua franca for both software engineers and highly capable AI models. As we give agents the ability to build, test, and run code that they generate, the command line becomes their canvas—and their attack surface. This keynote explores what it takes to bring code-executing agents from research to real-world deployment while maintaining control and security. We’ll cover how terminals offer AI an ideal interface, why they’re deceptively risky, and what it means to embed security, guardrails, and ...
