About this session

AI-generated code is blasting through your software delivery workflows like water from a firehose. And those CI/CD systems you've carefully built, held together by complex YAML and brittle scripts, are starting to crack under the pressure.

Agentic CI introduces a new way forward—where intelligent agents bring reasoning and adaptability to your CI/CD pipelines. This session dives into what Agentic CI is, why it matters now, and how to make it work for you.

What you’ll learn

Why traditional CI/CD is no longer enough in an AI-driven world
How agent-based automation reduces toil and improves resilience
How to build LLM-powered workflows into your software delivery, such as an agentic code reviewer.
