In this immersive, expert-led demo event, you’ll get a hands-on look at the future of software development. Watch as we shift from writing code to guiding AI agents, demonstrating how to effectively scope tasks, leverage Cursor's autonomous capabilities, and implement tight review loops to ship production-ready features.
Speaker
Abdullah Abu-Hassan is the Data & AI Lead at Microsoft, where he helps organizations unlock the power of applied AI and next-gen development practices. With experience spanning cloud, data science, and enterprise AI adoption, Abdullah works at the intersection of technology and innovation, bridging experimental approaches like vibe coding with the rigour required to scale in production.
Event Overview
Learn how to transition from traditional coding to orchestrating and directing AI agents through a live demonstration of Cursor.
01 - Shaping the Task: Define Scope, Context, and Output
Start by translating the work in front of you into a format an AI agent can successfully execute. Learn how establishing clear scope and providing the right context sets the foundation for usable, accurate output, preventing the need for frustrating re-dos.
02 - Building with AI: Cursor Agent Demo
Watch a functional feature get built without anyone typing it line by line. See a live demonstration of Cursor in action as an agent reads the task, writes the code, executes it, and fixes its own errors—all while you direct and review the build.
03 - Making It Ship-Ready: Review to Release
Move beyond raw AI output and ensure your code is actually ready for production. Learn how to effectively review what the agent produced, catch potential overreaches, and establish a tight review loop that lets you ship faster with complete confidence.
