DeveloperWeek 2025

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.
