Introduction
Welcome and event introduction
How I use AI to build Voibe by Balamurugan Balasubramanian
I am building Voibe as a solo founder, and AI is the only reason I can move this fast. In this talk, I’ll skip the theory and show you my actual day-to-day workflow. I will walk you through the specific tools, tactics, and frameworks I use to design, code and ship features without a large team. To prove it works, I’ll do a live demo where I use AI to build and ship a feature to the Voibe website in real-time. I hope this helps with practical techniques you can apply to your own projects.
HumanA.I.D. (Human AI Development) by Immanuel Ifere
AI is getting smarter every week. Humans aren’t. We still rely on memory, willpower, and manual coordination to manage increasingly complex lives. Instead of shipping AI as chatbots and features, what if we treated it as infrastructure — a persistent cognitive layer that augments how humans think and operate? In this talk, I introduce humanAID (Human AI Development): building systems like personal relationship managers, health coaches, household operating systems, and life agents that reduce cognitive overhead and automate everyday logistics. Because when intelligence is free, the real design challenge isn’t smarter models — it’s redesigning humans around them. The future isn’t AI tools. It’s upgraded humans.
2026 - Is something Big Happening? by Mark Riley
Riffling off Matt Shummer's essay, we will debate if we are going thorugh an inflection moment, and how to prepare for recursive self-improving models
