What to expect
An interactive session on how teams can keep the speed of AI coding agents while making sound decisions about quality and risk. The starting point on the page is that AI coding agents can produce changes faster than teams can review them. The discussion is built around CodeRabbit's agentic change management framework: validate, prioritize, explain and secure. Because both the framework and the comparison review come from CodeRabbit, one company's approach will be central to the evening.
Who should attend
The group's description welcomes AI enthusiasts, professionals and people curious about technology and AI. The speaker's listed focus is engineering leaders, so the content looks most relevant to technical founders and early engineering leads who ship AI-generated code. Non-technical founders may find the pull request exercise harder to follow, though the question of what still needs human judgment applies to anyone managing an engineering team.
Agenda and speakers
The speaker is Jeff Woodall, whose listing cites AI code review, security and agentic change management for engineering leaders. The page calls the following format proposed, so it may change:
- Walk through a sample AI-generated pull request
- The group decides what it would approve or challenge
- Compare those findings with CodeRabbit's review
- Discuss which issues matter most, what still needs human judgment, and how to apply the approach in your own workflows
