Liam Hampton from Microsoft presents a practical framework for using AI agents effectively by categorizing them into three types: local, background, and cloud. He demonstrates how to run all three simultaneously from a single VS Code interface to solve separate problems in one codebase, showcasing a powerful, integrated developer workflow.
A deep dive into "Vibe Coding," a development methodology that prioritizes outcomes over code-level details, using the advanced AI features of VS Code and GitHub Copilot. The talk explores three stages of this methodology—YOLO, Structured, and Spectrum—and demonstrates how to leverage agent modes, custom instructions, reusable prompts, and the Model Copilot Protocol (MCP) to enhance productivity from rapid prototyping to enterprise-scale development.
