[Virtual] OPEN Session: Using AI to Solve Real Problems for Development Teams

Wednesday February 19, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST

Dennis Pilarinos, Unblocked, Founder & CEO

For all the claims about AI increasing developer productivity, why aren't developers seeing more of an impact?

What we’ve heard from thousands of developers is that writing code is not their main challenge. They’re stuck at Step #1 – trying to find the right context about how the codebase works and why.

Codebases are a compilation of thousands of decisions, discussions, and documents that live across tools like Confluence, Slack, Notion, Jira, Linear, GitHub, and more - accumulated over years if not decades. Whether a developer is onboarding to your team or trying to understand how a piece of legacy code works, they waste hours every day digging for the answers through all these systems.

Unblocked augments your code with context from the tools in your stack, giving your development team a platform for asking questions, and for discovering historical context about their code.

The impact here is profound: with Unblocked, developers can answer their own questions without interrupting their peers or having to wait for meetings. What’s more, they can find the entirety of the information they need wherever they're working.

If we want to see actual productivity benefits from AI, we need to use it where we spend the most time. The more we can empower developers with the context they need, the faster we can achieve our goals and the happier we can make our teams.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: The New “Outer Loop”: Leveraging AI to Test, Review, Merge, and Deploy Code Changes

Wednesday February 19, 2025 3:00pm - 3:25pm PST

VIRTUAL OpsWorld

Kenneth DuMez, Graphite, Developer Relations Lead

As AI tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT generate code at an unprecedented rate, the “outer loop”—reviewing, testing, merging, and deploying—becomes more vital than ever. In this talk, we'll explore why increased volume of AI-generated code elevates the need for robust oversight. Studies show that up to half of AI-generated solutions contain bugs or vulnerabilities, underscoring the continued importance of human-in-the-loop reviews.

In this talk we'll take a look at how next-gen developer tools can harness AI not just for coding, but to automate large-scale tests, streamline pull requests, resolve conflicts, and reduce noise in code reviews. By building an AI-powered, end-to-end platform that fully understands the codebase, teams can accelerate velocity without sacrificing quality. Attendees will learn real-world strategies and best practices for establishing an “outer loop” that safely and efficiently deploys high volumes of AI-generated code—ensuring continuous innovation without compromising reliability. We’ll also discuss pitfalls to avoid when integrating AI into existing pipelines.
