Introduction

Roundtable: AI Dilemmas: Should I Use a Tool, Agent, Team of Agents or Workflow?

Recap of key insights

Day 1

Every week, there’s a new AI solution promising 10x productivity.

But which path actually scales for engineering teams : a single smart tool, an autonomous agent, a swarm of agents, or a workflow built around them?

In this unfiltered, small-group roundtable, eng leaders will unpack how they’re navigating these choices in the real world — what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next.

Hit walls trying to scale from “AI tool” to org-wide workflow

AI is evolving faster than any of us expected and the smartest leaders aren’t chasing silver bullets. They’re building mental models, pressure-testing assumptions, and learning together.

Pull up a seat, compare notes with peers who’ve lived it, and walk away with clarity on how to design AI that truly works for your team.
