Shipping fast (without the slop): How modern teams actually use AI
AI is changing how software gets built: what we ship, how fast we ship it, and who does the shipping.
This panel brings together leaders from OpenAI, Benchling, and Nowadays to unpack the org patterns, workflows, and decision rules behind 10x teams: what actually helps teams move, plus what doesn’t work and how to avoid it.
Panelists
Vineet Gopal, CTO at Benchling
Manoli Liodakis, Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI
Moderator: John Wang, Cofounder & CTO at Assembled
We’ll get into how AI changes daily engineering and product practice, from code review, model/tool governance, roadmap cadence, etc. We’ll also compare contexts: what’s universally true vs. what’s company-stage or stack-dependent.
