A Bank Built Its Own Coding Agent. It Took Off — Felipe Felisola Caso & Francesco Galletta, Monzo

Felipe Felisola Caso and Francesco Galletta from Monzo explain how an internal Slack agent grew from a viral emoji trigger into a teammate authoring over 10% of merged PRs and running more than 1,800 tasks a day. They attribute its speed to existing platform capabilities, an MCP gateway, a sandboxed orchestration system suited to a regulated bank, and an agent designed as a composable building block for incidents, on-call data quality and non-engineer contributions.

Inside the Team That Killed Mandatory Code Review — Quinn Slack, AMP

Quinn from AMP discusses a paradigm shift towards cloud-native AI agents and remote development, advocating for the end of local development and traditional code review. He details how AMP's 'Orbs' enable parallel, secure, and remote execution, and how agents are transforming internal tools ('jellyware'), diminishing the role of GitHub and traditional CI/CD, and fostering a lean, high-trust company structure.

Codex, Behind the Harness — Dominik Kundel, OpenAI

Once GPT 5.3 Codex Spark achieved 1000 tokens/sec on Cerebras, network latency superseded inference as the bottleneck for agents. This talk details how the Codex harness addresses this and other agentic challenges through innovations like WebSocket mode for stateful context, deferred tools for efficient context construction, robust sandboxing (Seatbelt, Bubblewrap, custom Windows solution), and an auto-review subagent to mitigate approval fatigue while ensuring security. It also covers structured actions via 'apply patch' for file edits, shell tools for system interaction, and sophisticated long-horizon goal management, with most distinct features exposed through the open Responses API.

Sandboxing, Agent Harnesses, and Agent Teamwork

Shahram Anver, CEO of Cleric, details how AI agents for SRE are evolving beyond fast triage to continuous learning and operational memory. He discusses Cleric's architectural shifts, from complex early designs to simpler, sandboxed query agents, and the unique challenges SRE agents face in diverse production environments. A core focus is on human-agent interaction, redefining roles as managers overseeing agents, and how agents learn from unstructured data like Slack to build robust, actionable knowledge for autonomous, self-healing infrastructure. The discussion also touches on the future of software, differentiating between durable systems and rapidly developed "skills" or "vibe-coded" solutions.

Code Mode - Sunil Pai, Cloudflare

Sunil Pai from Cloudflare introduces "Code Mode," a paradigm where AI agents generate and execute code (like JavaScript) instead of using traditional JSON-based tool calling. This approach enables more efficient, stateful, and complex interactions with large-scale systems by leveraging the inherent capabilities of programming languages.

How Claude Code Works - Jared Zoneraich, PromptLayer

An unofficial deep dive into the architecture of modern coding agents like Claude Code. Jared Zoneraich of PromptLayer explains the shift towards simpler, model-centric designs, detailing the core components like the master loop, tool calling (especially `bash`), and context management strategies. The talk also contrasts Claude's philosophy with other agents like Codex, AMP, and Cursor, offering practical takeaways for building your own AI agents.
