AI coding tools have gone from “interesting demos” to actually useful in the past year. But this isn’t just about new frameworks. It’s about a fundamental shift in how software gets built and who can build it.

In this TIGER Talk, tech leader Christopher Slee will explore what AI can actually do for developers right now, the new agentic frameworks being used in production, and why the craft of software development has genuinely changed—not in some distant future, but today.

This isn’t hype—it’s a clear-eyed look at what works, what doesn’t, and what it means for how you build products.

You’ll leave with:

  • An understanding of what AI can actually do for you right now (and what it’s still really bad at)
  • A realistic view of whether you need a full dev team or can build your MVP yourself
  • Insight into how development workflows are changing in practice

If you’re a founder trying to figure out how much you can reasonably do yourself, a developer curious about these tools, or someone tired of “vibe programming” your ideas into existence and want to know what’s actually possible—this talk is for you.

From our featured speaker, Christopher Slee:

Hi I’m Chris, the Principal Technologist at Transform Labs (formerly AWH) and the CTO of  IncludeHealth, a healthcare start-up changing the face of Virtual Physical Therapy.

When I speak about technology, I like to keep it accurate and relatable. I share stories and insights that matter to tech enthusiasts and anyone interested in how technology intersects with our daily lives and work. It’s about making sense of tech and making it understandable.
