The IDE as the New AI Command Center | Open Source Discussion

​Join RocketRide's launch event featuring a panel discussion on IDE-native AI development, live demos, and the release of our first open-source project. You'll leave with practical insights on building AI pipelines directly in your editor and early access to tools you can use immediately.

​Panel Discussion

​The Future of IDE-Native AI Development: Hear from builders rethinking how AI workflows integrate with development. We'll cover why the IDE is becoming the central orchestration layer, real production patterns, trade-offs between different approaches, and where tooling goes next. Bring your questions, this is a conversation, not a lecture.

​Panelist lineup:

• ​Rod Christensen - Chief Architect at RocketRide

• ​Alexy Khrabrov - Open-source Scientist ex-Neo4j

• ​Hendrik Krack - Developer Advocate at CodeRabbit

• ​TBD
