Wonna
Kontekstia koodipohjasta: Dokumentaatio AI-nativen devauksen lähtökohdaksi ja ylläpidon tueksi

Wonnan kehittämä ja avoimena lähdekoodina julkaistava dokumentaatiohaarniska antaa AI-agenteille rakenteisen ymmärryksen koodipohjasta, arkkitehtuurista ja riippuvuuksista. Sen avulla agentit tekevät laadukkaampia muutoksia, hallusinoivat vähemmän ja pystyvät työskentelemään suuremmissa järjestelmissä tehokkaammin.

Dokumentaatiohaarniskan keskeiset hyödyt:

• Parempi arkkitehtuurin ymmärrys
• Vähemmän virheitä ja duplikaattikoodia
• Tehokkaampi kontekstin hyödyntäminen
• Moniagenttikehityksen mahdollistaminen
• Nopeampi onboarding ihmisille ja AI:lle
• Turvallisempi refaktorointi
• Jatkuvasti ajan tasalla oleva dokumentaatio

Pitkällä aikavälillä kilpailuetu ei synny pelkästään paremmista AI-malleista, vaan paremmasta kontekstikerroksesta, jonka avulla agentit ymmärtävät järjestelmän samalla tavalla kuin kokeneet kehittäjät.

Meetupissa Tommi Sinivuo avaa dokumentaatiohaarniskan toimintalogiikkaa ja kertoo käytännön esimerkein, miten työkalu vaikuttaa AI-natiivin devauksen tuloksiin. Lisäksi hän näyttää, kuinka työkalu otetaan käyttöön koko tiimille - ei siis pelkästään devaajille.

Nopeampi kehitys, korkeammat riskit : DevOps AI-aikakaudella

Kun 10 devaajan operaatio tuottaa tekoälyn avulla yhtä paljon ja nopeasti softaa kun 100 devaajan kehitysorganisaatio ennen, vaatimukset ryhdikkäälle yhteispelille kasvavat. DevOps on ajankohtaisempi kuin koskaan!

Mitkä ongelmat kunnolliset DevOps-käytännöt ratkoivat 100 devaajan organisaatiossa ennen tekoälyaikaa?

Mitkä näistä ongelmista siirtyvät suoraan agentisen softakehityksen myötä 10 devaajan tiimin todellisuudeksi?

Mitä uusia ongelmia koodin generointi tuottaa, ja kuinka ehkäistään niistä syntyvät päänsäryt?

Aleksi Aalto tarjoilee DevOps-checklistin, joka jokaisen AI-nativeksi pyrkivän tiimin kannattaa käydä läpi, että pääsee nauttimaan vauhdista ja välttämään vaaralliset tilanteet.

Kenelle ja miksi?

Haluamme tarjota tuoretta ajatuksenruokaa devaajille ja heitä johtaville ihmisille siitä, mikä jo nyt on mahdollista, ja kuinka näihin mahdollisuuksiin kannattaisi softakehitystiimien tarttua.

Tarjolla on pitsaa ja virvokkeita.
Tämä sessio vedetään suomeksi.
Meetupia ei nauhoiteta.

Wonna-meetupien tavoite on tuoda ohjelmistoalan ihmiset yhteen oppimaan ja inspiroimaan toisiaan, jotta softatiimit pystyisivät tehokkaammin vastaamaan asiakkaiden ja markkinoiden muuttuviin tarpeisiin – tinkimättä ammattiylpeydestä, työnilosta ja hyvästä elämästä.t

AI Speeds Up Delivery – But What About Discovery?

AI is dramatically accelerating software delivery. But as development becomes faster, the bottleneck is shifting elsewhere: product discovery.
How do you decide which problems are actually worth solving? What should you build—and just as importantly, what shouldn't you?

At Autumn's first Helsinki Product Tank, Antti Latva-Koivisto will share a real-world case study of launching a new B2B SaaS product in a market where previous competitors had failed.
The session explores how disciplined product discovery can become a competitive advantage in the age of AI, helping teams focus their increased delivery capacity on the problems that matter most.

Schedule:
17.30 Doors Open
18 Talks
20 End

The meetup is hosted by F-Secure, and organized at HTC Vega building (Room: Avenida)

Registration deadline is on Monday 31.8.2026 at 23.59.

Welcome to explore the topic, and meet up with peers!

Premier games industry conference series, Pocket Gamer Connects, returns to Helsinki for all things mobile, PC, console, html5, AI and more

The leading games industry conference, Pocket Gamer Connects, returns to Finland in 2026 for its 13th edition, again including the AI Gamechangers Summit and Beyond Games: Transmedia Summit as part of its offering, and once more proudly part of Finnish Games Week… but with a new name to fully reflect the event's broader regional remit this year.

As such, expect more than 1,500 mobile, PC, and console professionals from the whole Nordic and international games industry to gather for two programme-packed days of learning from 150 of the world’s leading minds.

Filling 25+ packed conference tracks across multiple stages, they will share their expert insight on everything from monetisation, funding, and AI to the latest development trends, html5, cross-media, and beyond.

Your business is our business

PG Connects has long been established as the premier independent conference series for the games industry. Our events are specifically designed to maximise networking, investment, business dealing, and knowledge-sharing opportunities, whilst maintaining our signature relaxed, 'games industry family' feel.

And PG Connects Nordics 2026 isn't about to mess with that recipe.

• One ticket, multiple events (PGC summits included)
• Over 1,500 global games industry delegates
• Multitrack conference programme on multiple stages
• More than 150 expert speakers sharing their insight – in talks, panels, roundtables
• Mobile, PC, Console, AI, HTML5, XR and more
• A comprehensive expo area with booths and meeting spaces
• Indie showcase tables and pitching competition
• Integrated meeting system for business matchmaking (MeetToMatch)
• Specialised fringe events connecting investors, publishers, and developers
• Evening networking reception, a buzzing industry party, and countless organic networking opportunities
• Proudly part of Finnish Games Week 2026

The most important aspect of any conference is who you will meet and do business with. Deals are done, and friendships are made. So we put networking at the heart of our events.

Of course, the schedule will be packed with our trademark focused seminars. But the conference is called Connects because that’s what we help you do: connect with the whole industry, from new indie studios to the media, international investors and publishers. Unlike other event organisers, we offer the MeetToMatch meeting scheduler free to all delegates, so you can find that perfect contact and arrange to meet them in person. Plus, there'll be at least one huge party and a few fringe events to help put people together.

We're using MeetToMatch as our meeting platform again, which will enable attendees to find each other and arrange meetings in our dedicated meeting zones.

Our fringe events are back! We'll be running Publisher SpeedMatch and Investor Connector live at the venue. These curated sessions pair mobile, PC, and console developers in rapid succession with a series of publishers and investors in a series of speed-dating style meetings.

These short, sharp encounters enable first contact for you to follow up with a longer meeting if you find a potential partner. It’s a shop window for devs to display their wares and a pipeline of prospects for anyone looking to sign up-and-coming talent.

These activities require sign-up in advance because space is very limited. Once you have your ticket, look out for the application forms on the official site.

Indie devs are the lifeblood of the games industry and Pocket Gamer Connects champions their work. The show floor has a dedicated Big Indie Zone for known names and newcomers alike to display their talent to the audience. This is a vibrant and varied expo area for publishers looking to sign promising titles. In order to support the community, we always keep a few tables in reserve to offer on a complimentary basis to deserving developers, so keep an eye on the official site for details of how to apply.

And, of course, our quick-fire Big Indie Pitches will be back in force with indie devs competing to impress a panel of expert judges. The pitching competition is open to mobile, PC, console, XR developers this year.

The winners could walk away with prizes and online marketing worth $thousands, coverage on the site, expert constructive feedback, possible tickets and expo tables to future events, plus the warm glow of celebration.

If that sounds a bit serious, day one closes with our epic post-conference party – that’s where the networking goes on into the night, offering the chance to make lifelong friends, fortunes, memories… and even deals!

Pocket Gamer Connects launched in 2014, with the first-ever conference of this sort taking place in London that year, followed by Helsinki soon after. Well over 70,000 industry professionals have attended the PG Connects international conference series since 2014. The roadshow has also landed in the UK, China, US, Canada, Hong Kong, Jordan, UAE, India, and most recently Spain with a genuinely international client base; on average, delegates from more than 45 countries attend each event.

In 2016, we became the biggest dedicated mobile games industry conference series in Europe and have stayed on top ever since. Not only have our previous delegates voted Connects the 'best value conference', but 97% would recommend it to a colleague, and 96% tell us they’ll come back for more.

Previous speakers and delegates from all the key industry players include Supercell, Tencent, King, NetEase, Epic Games, miHoYo, PlayStation, Apple, Rovio, Xbox, Disney, Wargaming, Kabam, Nintendo, Scopely, Playtika, NTT Docomo, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Garena, Facebook, Google, Electronic Arts, Gameloft, Sega, Capcom, Com2Us, Unity, Twitch and many, many, many more.

• Entry to the PGC Nordics and associated summits (October 20–21), including access to all content tracks, roundtables, expo, and dedicated meeting area on both days
• A personal profile on the MeetToMatch meeting system and unlimited meeting invites
