What does the next wave of building software in the enterprise really look like? In this fast paced session, we’ll explore how AI-powered agents are transforming the development journey, from brainstorming to deployment, and even how we tackle code quality. We’ll look at the evolution ahead, what to expect over the next 12, 24, and 36 months, and share real world demos showing agents co-creating code, reviewing pull request, fixing bugs, and more. All while staying inside the guardrails that matter to your business. You’ll leave with a clear picture of how AI can help developers focus on what they do best: creative, impactful work — and what “good” looks like for enterprise software development in the years to come. Oh, and yes, there’ll be a few surprises and swag hand outs along the way!!

While it’s important to continually identify ways to improve your services, it can be difficult to prioritize those items over customer-facing enhancements. With the introduction of AI agents, that paradigm has shifted: you can now more easily modernize and evolve your codebase, ensuring it never becomes the next legacy. This talk will cover how to embrace the process of modernizing legacy software and how to leverage AI agents, like Copilot coding agent, to keep your codebase up to date.

Today, you can assign tasks to agents in GitHub.com, in VS Code, and on the command line via Copilot CLI. But what if you didn’t have to assign tasks to your agents? What if they could do work on your behalf, continuously in the background, without you having to ask?
In GitHub Next, we’ve been exploring this idea, which we call “Continuous AI.” Just like continuous integration, Continuous AI is integrated into your development workflows and runs on GitHub Actions. But Continuous AI integrates LLMs and agents to do things that traditional continuous integration cannot – things that require judgement, that cannot be expressed as simple rules. They accelerate your team, not just individual developers.
In this talk, we will present the concept of Continuous AI, describe what kinds of tasks it is useful for, and show many examples of real Continuous AI workflows we are using in our own projects and with our collaborators in the open source community. We’ll show you how you can write your own Continuous AI workflows using our open-source tool, Agentic Workflows, as well as try out examples from the community.
This is a first look at experimental work from GitHub Next, GitHub's research and engineering team that focuses on shaping the future of software creation. If you’re curious about what’s coming next — and how to prepare for it — this session is for you., Head of GitHub Next, GitHub

But too often we’re Icarus with a keyboard and flying too close to the sun. Agents can overwrite files, expose API keys, or hallucinate broken flows. In this talk, Rizel will explain how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) adds structure and context, helping developers avoid these pitfalls. Using GitHub’s MCP server, she will demo safer prompting, better observability, and how to keep the vibes high and the bugs low.
