True stories of AI-first transformation in engineering teams (the ones you can't keep quiet about)
UA last month
Over the past year at Superhuman (formerly Grammarly) we ran dozens of experiments with AI agents for writing code — some delivered strong results, others failed completely. From a small proof of concept with Claude Code in April 2025, we got to nearly every engineer using the tool every day. In this talk I'll share practical recipes that help re-tool teams around an AI-first approach to development. All of it from our own experience: how we apply AI code assistants in product development, infrastructure migrations, production on-call, code review, and many other tasks.

Zakhar Zakharchuk Software Engineer at EPAM | AWS & GCP Certified Скажу чесно, повністю прослухав усього 3 лекції — від Kateryna Hrytsaienko, Andrii Mokhovyk та Yarik Yermilov. Сидів на одному диханні.
