They are expected to revolutionize various industries by automating routine tasks, mission critical business workflows, enhancing productivity, and enabling humans to focus on creative and strategic work. Of course, you can apply them to your everyday coding tasks as well.<br><br>In this talk we\u2019ll go over what those agents can bring to the table of coding world, and why they can deliver the promise of coding smarter that the current generation of coding assistants can\u2019t. We will then dive right into a quick live coding session where I\u2019l show what such agents can do in real life and how you can start using them to enhance your everyday life already right after the talk. And we\u2019ll finish off with some remarks on what the future of programming might look like in the near future as those agents get included into your everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-d234f690 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-opik is-style-opik--4\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comet.com\/site\/events\/convergence\/#register\">Register now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":12738,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"convergence","meta":{"customer_name":"","customer_description":"","customer_industry":"","customer_technologies":"","customer_logo":"","footnotes":""},"coauthors":[126],"class_list":["post-13217","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
