  • Great digestible episodes, always packing golden nuggets of info

    Absolutely love this podcast! Each episode always has at least a few gems of wisdom from either the guest or Jack that I can take to building my own stuff. It’s such a specific topic, I was really surprised I found a podcast this high quality on building developer focused products.

    The episodes also always jump straight to the point and never hang around longer than they need to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Siddhartha Borah from Brackett: teaching agents work that was never written down (Heavybit DevGuild)
Q: What makes their memory and knowledge management different from standard AI approaches?
They emphasize a sophisticated memory system and a knowledge graph with ontology tailored to different businesses, plus a Deja Vu mechanism that avoids polluting the active context while leveraging hints from patterns for better guidance.
Siddhartha Borah from Brackett: teaching agents work that was never written down (Heavybit DevGuild)
Q: How does Bracket AI handle the problem of context that lives in a person's head?
They address it by enabling interactive sessions with the agent (like a Zoom call), capturing the elicited context through conversation, screen sharing, and real-time work, and then encoding that into deterministic workflows that the agent can follow.
Dennis Pilarinos from Unblocked: context for AI coding agents
Q: What makes the knowledge graph approach transformative for enterprises?
A fully reconciled view across data sources enables agents to reason with up-to-date, context-rich information, eliminates data silos, and delivers high-quality, rapid answers, which is the key to scalable, trustworthy AI-assisted coding.
Dennis Pilarinos from Unblocked: context for AI coding agents
Q: What are the major stages in maturing an organization's use of AI for coding?
Teams start with local, static data and then merge contexts, move to surface data via MCP servers, and finally build a comprehensive knowledge graph to unify data across systems, which dramatically improves agent performance and reduces context rot.
Nick and Zack from WorkOS @ AIE: building real-world AI tools & running conference workshops
Q: Could you tell us how you think about workshops and what makes them good?
The core is content-focused storytelling: deliver a complete narrative, encourage audience participation, and design hands-on experiences that produce tangible outputs rather than sales pitches. Checkpoints and pre-shared GitHub resources help attendees get up to speed and actually run the demos.
