SUMMARY:AI as a Product Feature
DESCRIPTION:As AI capabilities continue to improve\, the challenge is no longer deciding whether to incorporate AI into a product. The real challenge is deciding where AI actually creates value. \n​Too many companies approach AI as a feature to add rather than a problem to solve. The result is products that feel innovative on the surface but fail to meaningfully improve the customer experience. The most successful teams are taking a different approach. They begin with the customer problem\, determine whether AI is the right solution\, and build experiences that are both useful and reliable. \n​We’ll explore what that looks like in practice\, covering:\n​- How to identify customer problems that are genuinely well-suited for AI.\n​- Designing AI-powered experiences that users understand and trust.\n– The engineering tradeoffs that shape product decisions.\n​- How product and engineering teams work together to bring AI features from concept to production. \n​The discussion will feature: \n​Ben Sharpe\, Apple and Microsoft alum\, former CTO at CoinList\, and founder of CodeBake\, with more than 37 years of engineering experience spanning multiple generations of complex systems. Today\, he works at the intersection of product strategy\, AI\, and software engineering\, helping organizations identify where AI creates meaningful customer value and how to build products around it. \n​Kyle Carriedo\, Managing Partner and co-founder of Misfit Labs and former Senior Engineer at Apple who went on to found and scale multiple ventures. \n​Who should come: Founders\, product managers\, CTOs\, engineers\, designers\, and anyone building AI-powered products or deciding where AI belongs in their product roadmap.

SUMMARY:From Design to Build: The Agentic Workflow
DESCRIPTION:​As AI agents become increasingly write code\, the bottleneck shifts upstream. The quality of the design specification now determines the quality of the build. \n​In an agentic workflow\, the quality of the design specification increasingly determines the quality of the build. \nTo better delve into this\, we’ll cover:\n– Why design specs are becoming a critical engineering artifact in an AI-native workflow.\n– How to write specifications that AI agents can reliably execute.\n– The journey from design intent to working implementation.\n– Why builds fail to match the original vision and how to recover.\n– What these changes mean for the future of engineering teams. \n​Who should come: Founders\, CTOs\, engineers\, operators\, and anyone actively trying to figure out how to build\, integrate\, or scale with AI.

SUMMARY:AI-native go to market
DESCRIPTION:Building costs 10x less than it did two years ago. Blocking tasks that used to take weeks can be automated in hours. Legacy software relationships can be unwound. We are in a white room moment — and for technical founders\, that changes everything about how you go to market. This session covers how AI is reshaping workflows from the ground up\, and what that means for how you position\, sell\, and scale. Because when execution gets cheaper\, the real competitive edge becomes deciding well and moving fast.It will be led by Kyle Carriedo\, who spent years building and presenting products at Apple before moving into early-stage company building\, and Ben Sharpe\, an Apple and Microsoft alum with over three decades of experience architecting complex systems. \nWho should come: Founders\, CTOs\, engineers\, operators\, and anyone actively trying to figure out how to build\, integrate\, or scale with AI.

SUMMARY:Ask the Misfits: AI Open Floor
DESCRIPTION:Every founder\, CTO\, and builder right now has AI questions they can’t shake\, roadblocks they keep hitting\, and use cases they’re still trying to figure out. The gap between knowing AI matters and knowing what to do with it is real. Whether it’s strategy\, engineering\, go-to-market\, hiring\, or how to integrate and orchestrate AI\, the answers aren’t always obvious. \nAsk the Misfits: AI Open Floor is a live\, open Q&A format that hands the floor directly to you\, the audience. Bring an idea you’re working on\, a problem you’re stuck on\, a workplace challenge\, or a specific AI question\, and get real answers from a team that builds with AI every day across the full stack. \nTopics will be open and can cover anything from business strategy\, product thinking\, and go-to-market\, to design\, frontend\, backend\, architecture\, project management\, and AI implementation and workflow automation. \nIf you’ve been looking for a room where you can ask deeper\, substantive questions\, this is it. \nWho should come: Founders\, CTOs\, engineers\, operators\, and anyone actively trying to figure out how to build\, integrate\, or scale with AI.

SUMMARY:Beyond the prototype: shipping AI-generated code to production
DESCRIPTION:AI-generated code looks impressive in a demo\, but what happens when it ships and needs to become a working prototype? \nThis session takes an honest look at what is needed for AI-generated code to successfully move out of the sandbox and into real production environments. \nKyle Carriedo and Ben Sharpe will lead the conversation. Kyle is a former senior engineer at Apple\, where he spent years building products and pitching them at the executive level before relocating to Miami to help launch and scale companies. Ben Sharpe is an Apple and Microsoft alum\, former CTO at CoinList\, and founder of CodeBake\, with over 37 years of engineering experience across multiple generations of complex systems. \nTogether\, they’ll cover:\n– Security vulnerabilities that surface when generated code reaches production\n– QA implications and how AI changes the testing surface area\n– Hallucination liability and what it means when no one owns the logic\n– Managing technical debt at scale when AI is part of the build process \nThis is an intentional\, working session for engineering leaders\, technical founders\, corporate innovators\, and anyone engaged in moving beyond he prototype phase of something they’ve built or are building. \nSeats are limited.

SUMMARY:Designing AI-Native Engineering Workflows
DESCRIPTION:AI is already embedded in most engineering teams. The real question is whether it’s being used intentionally and positively impacting how work gets done. This session will be a working conversation on how to intentionally integrate AI into core engineering workflows\, including sprint cycles\, code review\, documentation\, and cross-functional collaboration. The focus is on designing systems\, not just adopting tools. \n​Ben Sharpe will lead the discussion. Ben is an Apple and Microsoft alum\, former CTO at CoinList\, and founder of Codebake\, with over 37 years of engineering experience. He has built and scaled complex systems and led technical execution across multiple generations of products. \n​Together\, we’ll focus on: \n​Workflow architecture for AI-native teams \n​Establishing shared prompting standards across engineers \n​Preventing fragmented\, ad hoc AI usage across teams \n​Creating consistency across product\, engineering\, and operations \n​This is an intimate\, high-signal session for operators actively thinking about how engineering organizations evolve in an AI-native world.
