​​Demos / Talks

​Joel De La Cruz: The New York State RAISE Act: The Race For AI Safety Regulation - A short discussion on the Raise Act (AB 6453) the first of it's kind AI Safety Regulation. Inspired by  California's (SB 1047), which was ultimately vetoed by Governor Newsom in 2024, New York's legislatures have passed the Raise Act, and is currently waiting for New York Governor Hochul to sign into law by end of year 2025. We will discuss the policy objectives of the incoming regulation, and what it's signing into law could mean for builders. 

Damani Brown: Giving AI the Keys to Chrome DevTools - What if your AI agent could not just write code, but also debug it—live in the browser? This session introduces the new Chrome DevTools MCP enabling AI agents to debug your website from the browser. Learn how this integration allows an LLM to directly analyze performance, inspect the DOM, and troubleshoot network requests to help you build better websites, faster.

Steve Brudz: Self‑Healing Tests & Everflame Reports: AI‑Powered QA for Rails - Phoenix’s latest release introduced self‑healing tests. After you sign off on an Everflame report, Phoenix automatically prunes stale tests and replaces them with new ones based on your updated code. This talk demonstrates how self‑healing works, how it changes the way we think about test maintenance, and how Everflame reports keep your team in the loop. If you’ve ever skipped writing tests to hit a deadline, come see how Phoenix gives you confidence without the maintenance burden.
