/ About this event

Join depthfirst, Serval and Factory for a conversation on designing intelligent interfaces for code, automation and security, from AI-native interaction patterns and agentic workflows to the frontend systems that make increasingly autonomous software feel understandable, responsive, and trustworthy.

We’ll explore the next wave of agent interfaces tools that help teams build software, automate operations, and secure systems which is one of the hottest topics on AI models today. Together with depthfirst, Serval, and Factory, we’ll discuss how designers change AI changes how software gets built, the interface between humans and code is being reinvented.

Featuring:

- Kal Grinberg, Head of Design @ Factory - Elaine Lu, Design Lead @ depthfirst - Sounak Gupta, Founding Designer @ Serval

As AI changes how software gets built, the interface between humans and code is being reinvented. We’ll bring together people building frontier AI experiences to discuss what changes when the interface can reason, act, and generate and what the next generation of workflow tools should feel.

For designers, frontend engineers, and anyone shaping how humans interact with intelligent software.
