The Agentic Era and Beyond

Shaping the Future of AI-Driven Engineering

The era of AI as a simple coding assistant is over. We have entered a new phase where Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

The software industry is in the middle of a once-in-a-generation shift. AI is no longer a feature you add. It is becoming a new layer of the engineering stack, changing how we think, design, build, ship, and operate software.

AI Heroes is the international conference on AI for developers, by developers. A place where builders compare notes, share battle-tested patterns, and shape what “AI-native engineering” really means.

Our Audience

Expert Developers, Tech Leaders, Platform Leaders, Product Managers, CTOs, and Architects who are building the next generation of software systems.

Our Focus

Deep technical sessions and best practices, Strategy, Process Innovation, Enterprise Case Studies, and Cultural Transformation

Our Mission

To empower Tech/Platform Leaders, Expert Developers and CTOs with the strategic insights they need to simplify delivery, accelerate development velocity, and scale product innovation through intelligent AI adoption.

AI Heroes is built for people who actually ship. Expect deep technical sessions and best practices you can debate, test, and take back to your team. You will leave with concrete moves for what you are building next.

We provide real-world experience, enterprise case studies, and ‘lessons learned’ patterns, and playbooks you can apply the next day.

We also tackle the human side of the shift: how teams evolve when agents join the delivery chain, how to upskill senior engineers, how product discovery changes in an AI-native world, and how to move fast without sacrificing craftsmanship.

Building AI apps with the Google ecosystem

Peter Friese & Marina Coelho – Developer Relations Engineers – Google

The way we build software has changed. Today, the most successful developers aren’t just writing code, they are orchestrating AI tools to build better and faster. This hands-on session is a deep dive into this modern “Builder Stack”, where you will learn how to build with with Google tools like Stitch, Firebase, and Gemini.Antigravity, Stitch, Firebase and Google Cloud.

Come to this session if you want to spend less time configuring and more time creating.

We’ll guide you through a complete development lifecycle, from prototyping an idea, to generating a beautiful UI, building AI features, and integrating a secure, scalable backend.

Edge Intelligence: Building with Apple Foundation Models on iOS

Arnaud Giuliani – Co-founder – Kotzilla

ViewModels are at the heart of modern Android and KMP apps, and they come with hidden performance traps most teams discover too late. Lifecycle mismanagement, scope leaks, bad memory patterns, dependency resolution overhead: these issues are hard to trace in production, and AI-assisted development makes them worse. More code ships faster, abstractions multiply, and ViewModel problems become invisible until users are already impacted.

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll debug real ViewModel performance scenarios together, using Koin and Kotzilla to detect issues at the component level without manual instrumentation. You’ll see how DI-based observability gives AI agents the architectural context they need to go from code generator to diagnostic partner.

Agenda:
Intro (10 min) — The ViewModel performance trap: what AI-assisted development changes and why
Lab 1 (20 min) — Spot common issues in a sample app: scope leaks, lifecycle mismanagement, resolution overhead
Lab 2 (25 min) — Instrument with Koin + Kotzilla: component-level detection, no manual logging
Lab 3 (25 min) — Bring AI into the loop: architectural context as a diagnostic lever
Wrap-up (10 min) — Patterns to take home, Q&A

Our Speakers and Participants

Quite exciting, tailored for developers and team leaders. Interesting topics with some hands-on activity.
AI Heroes 2025, Participant
Having participated as a speaker at AIHeroes was an honor as well as very interesting. A real opportunity to explore the AI topic in depth, not only from a technical point of view.
AI Heroes 2024, Speaker
This has been a very interesting event, that gave me useful hints to start going deeper on some topics
AI Heroes 2024, Online Participant
AI Heroes is a beautiful event, I really appreciate the speakers panel because it gave me a broad view of the state of the art of AI
