3 platform requirements for agentic engineering

🎙️ Build Voice Agents This Weekend \| From Idea to Talking Agent — No Code Required 💡 The Opportunity Building a voice agent used to need speech engineers and complex pipelines. Not anymore. Describe how you want your agent to sound and respond, and today's voice AI tools handle the rest — listening, understanding, and speaking back in real time. 🎯 What You'll Learn Think in Conversations: Turn-taking, latency, and interruptions — not just scripts. Live Build: Watch a real voice agent get built and talk back, from scratch. Natural Interaction: See the agent handle interruptions, pauses, and context switches live. Prompting for Voice: The instructions that make agents sound human, not robotic. 🤝 Who Should Attend? First-Time Builders wanting to create something real Founders wanting a working voice MVP without a dev team Professionals wanting to automate calls, support, or outreach Anyone curious about conversational AI 📌 The Details Bring: Laptop, internet, curiosity Bonus: Voice-agent-building cheat sheet + BagOfAI community access Format: Interactive \| 100% Practical This is a Virtual Event Event - https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88671787936?pwd=QHEXHkVWebX7DpvbRQ8x8Z4WsDYb08.1

Join Matar Peles, Field CTO at Port, for a hands-on session on turning AI coding agents into a fully automated, end-to-end delivery pipeline. Learn how to build a unified context layer, set up step-by-step factory agents, implement human-in-the-loop approvals for high-risk paths, and track pipeline efficiency, taking a ticket directly to pull request live. We'll dig into: - Setting up the factory itself: map the full process end to end, from the moment work arrives to the moment it ships, so the line has defined steps instead of disconnected automations. - A unified context layer: pull signals from the tools your teams already run into the shared source of truth every agent reasons over: services, owners, dependencies and the standards that apply to each. - Factory agents for each step: onboard an agent per step with a named owner and a scope of what it can touch, so you can connect the next one without rebuilding the line. - Human in the loop gates: name which paths carry enough risk to stop for a person, route each one to whoever owns it, and write their decision back before the work moves on. - Insights and optimization: track what the line ships, how much of it ran without a human, and which step is holding everything up.

For the first time, Indian founders have access to the same frontier AI tools on day one as anyone in the Valley. The question is no longer access; it’s what you build, how you ship, and how you win. Join Lightspeed and OpenAI for a morning with the founders, operators, and investors shaping the next generation of AI-native companies across India and Asia-Pacific. We’ll unpack what separates enduring AI companies from impressive demos - how to build products people want, take them from prototype to production, create real defensibility, and compete globally. We’ll also explore where India has an edge, and what it will take to build globally significant AI companies from here.

As AI starts to explain almost anything, what is a classroom actually for? AI is changing how we learn, teach and assess. Personalised tutors, instant feedback and generative tools can widen access to quality education, but they also raise hard questions about original thinking, equity and the role of the teacher. The goal of this talk is to create an environment of dialogue and ideas in the room. About Speaker: Dr. Prathosh A. P. is an Assistant Professor in the ECE department at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru and co-founder of Latentforce, AI infra for coding agents.
