💼 Demo
Topic 1: Kyle Penfound (Dagger.io) - Unlock the power of background agents with container-use
Kyle Penfound brings over a decade of deep DevOps experience to the complex world of software delivery. Currently a Solutions Engineer at Dagger, he partners with users to architect and refine powerful "software factories," ensuring development teams can innovate effectively.
Dagger.io is a programmable CI/CD platform that lets developers define and run pipelines as code using familiar languages like Go, Python, and TypeScript. Built by the creators of Docker, it enables consistent workflows across local, CI, and production environments by packaging pipelines in portable, containerized modules.
Developers use Dagger to test pipelines locally, standardize dev environments, and automate complex workflows, including those for AI/ML deployment. By treating CI/CD as software, Dagger replaces brittle YAML scripts with maintainable, scalable pipelines. It’s a powerful foundation for teams building in the AI-native and agent-driven era.
Topic 2: Andi Partovi (Veris.ai) - Simulation-Driven Agent Building and Training
Andi Partovi - He is Cofounder of Veris.ai, Ex Google GenAI solution architect.
Veris.ai is founded by two applied AI researchers and startup veterans, with a team of engineers and researchers specializing in agent development and post-training optimization, Veris AI automates agent testing and optimization through simulation environments.
The system runs thousands of multi-turn scenarios, measures performance against users’ metrics, and uses reinforcement learning to improve agent behavior. It integrates with existing frameworks (LangChain, custom implementations) and deploys within your infrastructure.
Topic 3: David (Dudu) Twizer (Xpander.ai) - Find software bugs in GitHub and produce patches by autonomous agents
David (Dudu) Twizer is a co-founder and CEO of xpander.ai. Prior to founding xpander AI, he spent 6 years as a principal solutions architect and senior leader of the GTM Agentic AI team at AWS, where he worked with key lighthouse customers on designing and building early agentic use cases in the cloud.
Xpander.ai xpander.ai provides the infrastructure layer for AI agents. Instead of building deployment pipelines, state management, and integrations from scratch, developers use Xpander's platform to ship agents faster. It handles the backend complexity so teams can focus on agent logic and business value.
