Beyond More Output: How a Media Agency Uses AI for Quality
Everyone talks about using AI to get more out. EVERYWOW added it to get better work out — by letting agents focus on what they do best and by building tools the team and agents actually need. In this session Stefanie opens the setup, shares what failed, and what finally kept quality — and maintenance — under control.

How Warp Builds Warp using Warp Factories
Warp Factories provides infrastructure for running coding agents across a team: tasks, agent roles, review and verification, with factories defined in code. Ben traces Warp’s journey from local agents to cloud agents and factories, then shows how Warp uses Warp Factories to develop Warp itself. See how its building blocks and benchmarks help teams improve their own factory.

Your AI Workforce: Run an Agent Factory in Hermes Desktop
Hermes Desktop brings conversations, files, skills and settings into one app. Tony shows how he uses Hermes as a factory engine and helps others adopt it: choosing work, providing context and access, scheduling tasks and checking results. Drawing on his own setup, he will help you choose a first workflow that is small enough to understand and useful enough to keep.

Thinking About AI, with AI
Dror Poleg researches how AI connects to changes in work, real estate, the economy and society—and uses AI to help him think them through. He shares how he investigates trends, questions explanations and draws connections across fields. As agents expand what individuals and small teams can build, his perspective can help you understand the wider changes and inform your own decisions.

How I Built a Media Empire With an Agentic Software Factory
I run Vanishing Gradients, a media and education business reaching over 50,000 people. I've turned my AI into an executive producer and marketing team, helping me run and grow the operation from guest outreach to publication and promotion. See how I moved from ChatGPT to an agent harness, built a software factory piece by piece, and delegated whole workflows while keeping my judgement in charge.
