AI

GenAI is transforming how developers work—promising unprecedented productivity gains through intelligent code generation, automated reviews, and rapid prototyping. But there’s a catch: AI hallucinations, “vibe coding” (trusting code that looks right but isn’t), and subtle bugs are creating new challenges that can negate those productivity gains. Some teams are even hiring “vibe coding cleaners” to fix what AI gets wrong.

Join Crayon and Alibaba Cloud as we explore how to harness generative AI’s power while avoiding its pitfalls. We’ll demonstrate practical tools that boost developer productivity safely—from intelligent code generation that understands your codebase, to automated security reviews that catch what humans miss, to customizable AI models that learn your team’s standards. See real use cases, understand why responsible AI matters, and discover how Alibaba Cloud’s approach gives you speed without sacrificing safety. Walk away with actionable next steps to transform your development workflow—the right way.

In this talk, we will introduce Genkit AI and explore how it simplifies the process of building AI applications. The session will include a brief demo of the Genkit UI, showcasing how to run and debug your own test flows and prompts with ease.

In an era where time is money and intelligence is leverage, AI agents are redefining how we build and interact with software. This session is a deep dive into the next wave of software development—where applications don’t just sit and wait. They think, act, and collaborate.
Whether you’re a developer writing the next breakout app or a CTO exploring AI strategy, this talk will bridge technical depth with visionary impact. We’ll unpack the anatomy of an AI agent, walk through building one from scratch, and explore real-world use cases from code assistance to business process automation. Expect live coding, practical insights, and bold ideas.
The future is autonomous—and it’s already writing code.

The future of software development is not just about generating outputs—it’s about creating professional-grade applications of all kinds that can be deployed, scaled, secured, and maintained.

Vibe coding—the emerging practice of designing, prompting, and iterating with AI systems based on intuition, context, and flow—puts human creativity at the center of building solutions. However, while machines can accelerate the generation process, human judgment, ethics, and domain expertise remain critical in steering outcomes toward value and trust.

This session explores how vibe coding opens new ways of working with AI and other tools, balancing structured engineering with iteration and co-creation. We will also highlight the human-in-the-loop paradigm, where people play active roles in guiding, validating, and correcting system outputs—ensuring reliability, transparency, and alignment with organizational goals.

By the end of the session, participants will understand how to transform ideas into enterprise-ready solutions:
applications—whether AI-powered, data-driven, or traditional—that not only work, but can be deployed and scaled confidently, designed to be secure, and engineered to remain maintainable for long-term success.

This session is a journey into tool adaptation and behavioral changes with software engineering.

As organizations navigate the complexities of modern workforces, AI is no longer a future concept—it’s a present-day catalyst for change. This session shares WTW’s journey of embedding AI into the heart of its human capital practice. From predictive analytics that anticipate workforce trends to generative tools that accelerate decision-making, we’ll explore how data is being transformed into action.

We’ll also unpack what it takes to scale AI across a global consulting firm: aligning cross-functional teams, managing change at scale, and building trust through governance and transparency.

This session offers practical insights for technology leaders, HR strategists, and innovation champions into how WTW has used AI to drive real, measurable and meaningful impact in the world of human capital.

This session discusses the comparison of different agentic platforms and some best practices to making them effective.

This 2-hour workshop offers a real discussion on vibe coding and AI-assisted development. It is a quick run-through of how vibe coding was leveraged to significantly boost developer productivity; and how junior engineers can be upskilled on this role-changing AI paradigm.

The demand for custom software among large enterprises has increased dramatically over the past few years, yet the age-old challenges in software projects still exist. AI provides a way to rethink how software is built, addressing the inefficiencies across the software development lifecycle that ultimately makes better-quality apps built much faster.

There has been immense growth in AI-powered tools for software development, and many tech and business leaders are left confused with the choices available in the market. This talk will provide insights to help decision-makers sift through the noise and select the best possible solution given their situation. The talk will also propose a framework wherein AI and “”humans in the loop”” will be working hand-in-hand to for requirements engineering tighter and software builds faster.

In the context of software dev shops, the talk will be useful in understanding how AI helps achieve better internal efficiency across the SDLC so that teams are able to increase capacity and realize business growth.
