Over the past year, many developers have started using AI tools like GitHub Copilot to help them write code. But most are only scratching the surface of what these tools can do. Copilot is more than just pressing TAB to autocomplete snippets. It can support you through the entire development cycle.

In this session, we explore how to use Copilot across the entire Dev cycle. A big part of this is context engineering: teaching the AI about your domain, your codebase, and your goals so its suggestions are more accurate and valuable. We’ll see how Copilot can help with creating backlog items, designing implementation plans, writing real code, generating tests, reviewing pull requests, and producing documentation.

Through a live demo, we’ll show you how to implement a production-ready feature using AI at every stage. You'll learn where GitHub Copilot shines, where it struggles, and how to make most of its capabilities.

If you are already experimenting with AI-Augmented programming and want to unlock its full potential, this talk will give you the insights and techniques you need.

A conference talk transcript covering how to integrate AI agents across the entire software development lifecycle, not just coding. The speaker walks through an 'agentic development cycle' with specialized agents for refinement, task planning, implementation, testing, and code review. Key concepts include instruction files, custom agents, agent skills, and context engineering. The talk emphasizes keeping humans in the loop at every stage, using small focused tasks to maintain context quality, and adopting stacked PRs to avoid 'looks good to me' syndrome. The speaker reports 50-60% productivity gains and advocates for making AI adoption a team effort rather than an individual practice.
