Discover how to build flexible, scalable AI agents in Rails through modular components
12+
that adapt to the evolving AI landscape. Learn practical patterns for abstracting model
13+
providers, implementing flow-based architectures, building flexible tools, and managing
14+
prompts. We'll explore how to handle divergent LLM provider features, plus key AI
15+
learnings: evaluation strategies for large applications, deciding between agents vs tools
16+
(A2A/MCP), and choosing between fine-tuning vs prompt engineering. Perfect for
17+
developers integrating AI or scaling existing implementations.

Join us for a special discussion featuring members of the Rails Core and Ruby Core teams together on stage as they dive into the future of developer experience in the Ruby and Rails ecosystem. Aaron Patterson and Jean Boussier, who sit on the both Rails and Ruby teams, will be joined by Ruby committer and tools maintainer Hiroshi Shibata to discuss how foundational tools like RubyGems, Bundler, RDoc, Debug, and ERB can be improved to make the language and framework more welcoming, especially for newcomers.

Hosted by Robby Russell, this conversation will explore how we can continue to evolve Ruby and Rails to be more accessible, enjoyable, and powerful for developers at every level.
