Agents in Action 🤖: Implementing Classic Commands 🖥️ with AI 🧠

What happens when we challenge the most advanced AI models to rebuild the pillars 🏛️ of computing?

This one-hour express hackathon offers a hands-on exploration of the power of agents like Claude, Codex, and Gemini. From generating a simple script to creating a robust and seamlessly integrated data processing suite.
We’ll explore how to orchestrate 🎼 AI agents to solve engineering problems 👷🏻, make prompting decisions, manage edge cases, and ensure behavioral parity with classic Unix tools like grep, wc, or tail. We’ll examine what goes wrong when we delegate logic and which architectural skills are more essential than ever.

The session will have a collaborative format 🤝, divided into teams 👬👬 with varying levels of experience to foster mutual learning “hands-on” 🙌🏻. Although it is not a theoretical session on language models, it will offer real-world, practical context on how to design, iterate, and operate with AI agents so they act as true development partners in a high-speed environment.

Don't forget to bring your laptop! 💻

See you in Flywire on Tuesday April 28th! ← Yes, it's not Thursday, it's TUESDAY. 👀
