Talk
The AI Teammate: Bringing Agentic AI into Slack
Abstract
Most AI tools make one developer faster in a private session. But what changes when AI becomes a teammate inside Slack? Drawing on the experience of building Luma at Lightspeed, Artemii will explore shared context, tools, memory, safety, and auditability. Beyond the technical implementation, this talk examines how public AI collaboration helps teams reuse investigations, learn from one another, discover new workflows, and adopt AI organically across an organization.

Talk
Woltspace: Rethinking the Future of Human–Agent Collaboration
Abstract
Coding agents have transformed how we interact with computers. Once an agent helps you build something useful, what happens next? Woltspace is an open-source vision for new paradigms of interaction, based on the premise that developers should own their code and infrastructure. Wolts make it easy to switch between coding agents while maintaining a persistent identity, memory, and home for the applications they build. Deploying an application from your computer should be as easy as vibe coding it. Jeremy will also explore the concept of colonies of collaborative coding agents and how this new primitive could shape the future of human–agent collaboration.
