Tech Talk | How AI Coding Agents Work: Build One from Scratch

Have you ever wondered how AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Codex actually work?

AI coding agents are becoming an important part of modern software development, helping developers write, understand, and improve code more efficiently. Learning how these tools work behind the scenes can help you use them more effectively and better understand the technology shaping the future of programming.

In this live Tech Talk, you will hear from Dev Agrawal, a full-stack developer, educator, and core team member of Solid.js. Through his work creating technical content on YouTube and Twitch, Dev enjoys teaching developers how to build modern applications while making complex software concepts easier to understand.

In this session, Dev will break down how AI coding agents work by building a minimal version from scratch. He will show that the core ideas behind tools like Claude Code and Codex are more approachable than they may seem, giving you a deeper understanding of how these agents function and how to use them more effectively in your own development workflow.

You will walk away with a practical understanding of the building blocks behind AI coding agents and greater confidence in using them as part of your day-to-day work. This session will help you look beyond the interface and understand the concepts that power some of today's most popular AI development tools.

This session is ideal for students, developers, and anyone interested in AI-assisted software development.
