Agents & APIs was part of my first day at SF Tech Week. I attended the event at CANOPY Jackson Square as the week’s conversations about building and scaling AI were getting started.
The program named Michelle Marcelline of PromptingCompany, Nihar Nandan of Postman, Quentin Rousseau of Rootly, Chatan Konda of Baseten and Tomas Pozo of Supabase.
What stood out
Signals and founder implications
| Signal | What founders can carry forward |
|---|---|
| Put online learning in a wider context | YouTube and online resources have been a significant part of my learning. Being in the room with builders was part of a different way of learning during this week. |
| Follow the questions across events | Evals, context, memory and scaling agents were themes I explored throughout SF Tech Week. I am keeping those as overall lessons rather than presenting them as a detailed account of this event’s agenda. |
Thank you to the speakers and organizers of Agents & APIs.
