"Orchestrating Cloud Code: Parallel Sandboxes with Daytona"โ
โโโ๐ค Vedran Jukic, Co-Founder & CTO at Daytona
โโโโโOutline:
โโโDaytona is an advanced AI sandbox platform delivering lightning-fast, secure infrastructure for running and testing AI-generated code. This demonstration showcases how Daytona Sandboxes transforms Cloud Code into a powerful orchestration platform for distributed development workflows. Using a local Cloud Code instance as the orchestrator, we'll demonstrate how natural language prompts can spawn and manage multiple parallel cloud instances running in isolated sandbox environmentsโenabling scenarios like parallel test execution across different configurations or coordinated multi-step development tasks.
โ๐ 5:55 pm - 6:05 pm
Lightning Talk "Inference accelerated small models as tools for big agents"
โโ๐ค Tejas Bhakta, CEO at Morph
โโโOutline:
โExplaining why frontier models don't make sense for tasks that have been saturated on benchmarks with 99+ percent accuracy.
โโ๐ 6:05 pm - 6:15 pm
Lightning Talk "Strands Agents: Simplifying AI Agent Development with Amazon's Open Source SDK"
โ๐ค โAyan Ray, GenAI Tech Lead at AWS
โโโOutline:
โDiscover Strands Agents, Amazon's popular open-source Python SDK that's revolutionizing agent development with over a million downloads. Unlike complex agent orchestration frameworks, Strands employs a streamlined model-driven approach to agent building. This session demonstrates its powerful pre-built tools through a live demo. Perfect for developers seeking a practical, production-ready agent framework that eliminates unnecessary complexity.

Lightning Talk "Vygil AI: Autonomous Activity Tracking with Agent-Native Workflows
โ๐ค โLovleen Kaur, Software Engineer at Cisco
โโโOutline:
โMost AI agents can answer questions, but few can watch, track, and alert in real time without risking security. Thatโs the problem Vygil AI set out to solve.
โVygil AI is an autonomous activity-tracking system that runs fully inside Daytona sandboxes. Instead of shipping logs or screenshots to external services, you define lightweight YAML-based toolsโlike screen capture, OCR, log parsing, or anomaly detectionโand the agent executes them in isolated environments. Each sandbox spins up in under 100ms, processes the task, and shuts down cleanly, leaving no footprint on the host.
โThe result is a flexible monitoring agent that can track user actions, detect unusual patterns, and generate structured alertsโall without compromising safety. Because the workflows are declarative, Vygil AI can be extended from personal productivity tracking to enterprise-scale observability with minimal overhead.
โThis keynote walks through live demos of Vygil AI in action, explains how Daytonaโs agent-native design makes safe automation possible, and shows how teams can adapt the framework for everything from compliance monitoring to AI-assisted operations.
โโ๐ 6:25 pm - 6:35 pm
Lightning Talk "Building the Decentralized AI Future: Fetch.aiโs ASI:One and AgentVerse"
โโ๐ค Mike Chrabaszcz, Developer Advocate at Fetch.ai
โโโOutline:
โFetch.ai enables decentralized agents that operate across a distributed network to perform tasks autonomously and interact with other agents and systems. These agents are created, hosted, and discovered through Agentverse, Fetch.aiโs cloud-based marketplace where developers can deploy, connect, and collaborate with agents.
โAt the core of this ecosystem is ASI:One, an AI interface that connects directly to the Agentverse network. Together, ASI:One and AgentVerse form a framework where reasoning meets execution.
โโ๐ 6:35 pm - 6:45 pm
Lightning Talk "Building the Agentic Web via Browser Agent as MCP Server"
โโ๐ค Arjun Chintapalli, CEO at rtrvr.ai
โโโOutline:
โFor the last two decades, the web has been a one-way street: you interact with websites.
โWe flipped that script by allowing websites to take actions in your browser with a simple copy/paste of MCP URL and then they can trigger our AI Web Agent Chrome Extension to: get latest docs/social media posts, file Jira issues, or make purchases - all in the background!
โโ๐ 6:55 pm - 7:05 pm
Lightning Talk "Embed the web to build the next generation of Search"
โโ๐ค Boris Toledano, Co-founder at Linkup
โโโOutline:
โAI agents evolve. They need more than legacy search engines optimized for human clicks and ad revenue. The next frontier is AI-native web search infrastructure: systems designed to retrieve and integrate web intelligence directly into LLM-based applications.
โAt Linkup, weโre building this next generation of search by indexing the web for agents, enabling RAG across the entire web. Our API-first platform makes it simple to integrate live, structured web data into your AI stack, empowering agents and applications with continuously updated context, higher accuracy, and richer reasoning capabilities than ever before.
โโโโโโโโโโ๐ 7:05 pm - 8:30 pm
