WHY THIS DAYEXISTS
Controlled studies show up to 55% faster finishes on core coding tasks, but if you don't wield AI right, it can actually bog you down with tweaks and headaches. At AIDD Day, we'll guide you to grab those speed boosts and skip the slowdowns.

SPEAKERS & SESSIONS
Daniel Kelly
Lead AIDD Instructor at BitterBrains
Daniel has done it all. He has over a decade of experience as a developer, has built real projects, created open-source tools, and now shares his knowledge as the lead instructor at BitterBrains. He spends his days running live workshops and making courses that developers actually enjoy, and he’s bringing that same energy to teaching AI in real projects.
Introduction to AIDD And How I Use Cursor to Be More Productive
WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
You've heard of Test Driven Development (TDD)… but have you heard of AI Driven Development (AIDD)? At aidd.io, we're not just talking about it — we're teaching it. I'll give you a sneak peek into that first course and show you exactly how AIDD can level up your development game.
YOU'LL LEARN:
Step-by-step agentic workflows for bug hunting, documentation creation, UI design, and more.
How to integrate AI capabilities directly into your own web apps.
The exact tools they use and why.
Justin Schroeder
Creator of FormKit, AutoAnimate, and ArrowJS
Justin is a Partner at Braid LLC and a full-stack engineer. He's the open-source magician behind FormKit, AutoAnimate, and ArrowJS — tools shaping how thousands of developers build for the web. Known for mixing sharp engineering with playful creativity, he now uses AI to supercharge his projects and push the boundaries of what one developer can achieve.
Throw your IDE Away: CLI Agents For The Win
WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
Forget fiddling with tabs and squinting at tiny inline diffs — CLI agents are here, and they're eating your IDE's lunch. In this talk we'll explore why the future of AI-assisted development isn't buried inside your editor, but running right next to your repo in the terminal. CLI agents can reason over your whole codebase, call tools through MCP, spin up workflows in parallel, and slot straight into CI pipelines — no mouse-click babysitting required. In 20 minutes we'll cover:
YOU'LL LEARN:
Why CLI agents are quickly becoming the most popular developer tool
Examples of CLI agents going where no IDE has gone before
AI best practices rapid fire: squeeze the most juice out of your agents
It's a glimpse at the near-future: a world where "opening your IDE" might be the least productive way to code.
Garrison Snelling
Founder of ComputeSDK
Garrison builds tools devs actually love to use. As founder of ComputeSDK, he's rethinking how compute plugs into apps and AI agents, pushing the edge of what developer platforms can do. Before that, at StackBlitz and LocalStack, he led teams, solved tough cloud challenges, and shared insights that continue to inspire developers and make their work feel lighter, smarter, and more fun.
Auto-Pilot AI Agents at the Right Time: Building Agents That Actually Know Your Codebase
WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
You've mastered the basics of AI coding assistants... but are you still treating them like fancy autocomplete? Most developers are stuck in the 'AI chat' phase — asking one-off questions and getting generic responses. But the real productivity gains come from knowing when to go auto-pilot and building custom agents that understand your specific codebase, team conventions, and development workflows.
YOU'LL LEARN:
Auto-pilot onboarding agents that replace weeks of back-and-forth Slack messages with intelligent, contextual guidance
Code-aware agents that know when to kick in and can navigate your entire project structure instantly
CI/CD integrations that automatically catch issues before they hit production using AI pattern recognition
Smart prompt frameworks that turn your repetitive development tasks into hands-off, team-wide workflows
Kent C. Dodds
Software Engineer and Educator
Kent has spent his career helping developers grow and push what's possible on the web. He created EpicAI.pro, EpicWeb.dev, EpicReact.dev, and TestingJavaScript.com — platforms that have become staples for learning and building. Alongside his work in open source, he's a Microsoft MVP, Google Developer Expert, and a passionate advocate for MCPs and the role of AI in shaping the future of software.
The New User Interaction Model
WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
We are entering a new era of user interaction. It's being built right before our very eyes and changing rapidly. As crazy as it sounds, soon each one of us will get our own Jarvis capable of performing actually useful tasks for us with a completely different user interaction mechanism than we're used to. But someone's gotta give Jarvis the tools to perform these tasks, and that's where we come in.
YOU'LL LEARN:
How the AI assistant user interaction model is taking shape.
The vision for a future with personal AI assistants like Jarvis.
Our role in building the tools that make this new era possible.

Developers vs. AI? The Data Tells a Different Story
WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
AI is no longer hype — in fact, I think it's underhyped. It's already writing a third of our code, changing the way teams ship software, and even reshaping who gets hired. But here's the thing: the data shows a much stranger, more surprising picture than the headlines. In this talk, we'll dig into fresh 2024–2025 surveys and reports to uncover what AI is really doing to coding, careers, and the developer market, and what it means for your future in tech.
YOU'LL LEARN:
How much code AI is really writing today, and why the number might surprise you
Why AI is boosting some developers' careers while quietly squeezing others out
What the latest data says about where AI helps (and where it actually hurts) in real workflows
The unexpected skills that will define the most valuable developers in the AI era
Phil Nash
Developer Relations Engineer for Langflow AI
Phil Nash is a Developer Relations Engineer at Langflow, working on AI, agents, and MCP. He’s spent years in DevRel with IBM, DataStax, and Sonar, and is a regular on stages around the world. When he’s not talking code, you’ll probably find him writing, enjoying a good beer, or walking his sausage dog.
Build the tools your agents need
WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
Building the context that will power AI agents to do their best work is more than just crafting the smartest prompt. It's about assembling the right combination of instructions and tools in your context to give your agent the best chance at succeeding. Prompt engineering is out and context engineering is in. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) unlocks two incredible things. A marketplace of ready-built tools that you can add to your context and a standard on which you can build your own custom tools. Let's take a look at how to assemble the tools your agents need.
YOU'LL LEARN:
Why context and tooling matters
What it means to build your own tools
Open-source projects you can use to build your own MCP servers with no effort
