Building with Autonomous Agents

A live workshop & discussion on navigating the current shift from supervised to autonomous AI workflows.

We've reached the inflection point.

A live workshop & discussion on navigating the current shift from supervised to autonomous AI workflows.

The trust threshold just shifted. Tools like Claude Code and Cursor's Background Agents now deliver production-quality code autonomously—not just assistance, but complete features. The question isn't whether autonomous workflows are viable anymore. It's how to adopt them effectively.

This workshop tackles the practical transition. You'll learn when to supervise versus when to delegate, how to structure work for autonomous execution, and why spec-driven development is the foundation that makes autonomous workflows actually work.

What you'll learn

  • The trust evolution from tab completion to autonomous agents—and where we are now
  • How to choose between supervised (Agent Mode) and autonomous (Background Agents, Claude Code) workflows
  • Three immediately actionable patterns for integrating autonomous agents into your process
  • Why specs are critical for autonomous work—and how to write them effectively
  • Real-world decision frameworks for knowing when to step back and when to stay hands-on
