What happens when a non-developer CEO starts “vibe coding” with AI — and doesn’t stop there? This talk is a real-world journey from early experimentation with generative tools to building a fully agentic company, where workflows, knowledge, and software development are distributed across AI agents and non-traditional contributors. Instead of treating AI as a coding assistant, the talk explores what it looks like to treat AI as infrastructure. You’ll see how simple experiments evolved into structured systems: rule sets, reusable patterns, and multi-agent workflows that power real business operations. Along the way, the speaker unpacks what worked, what broke, and what had to be rethought — especially from the perspective of someone without a traditional engineering background. This isn’t theory; it’s a practical look at how agentic development can emerge organically inside a company. Whether you’re a developer, operator, or open‑source enthusiast, this session challenges how you think about building software and organizations. If AI lowers the barrier to creation, what happens when everyone in a company can contribute to development? And what new responsibilities, opportunities, and mistakes come with that shift? **Target Audience:** * AI peeps
