Autonomous AI in Software Development: What 72 Hours of Agent Runtime Actually Produce
A MyEO Event by Alex Jacobi and Matthias Lange for Members, Acceleraters, SLPs and Key Employees.
Matthias shows the setup we used to build enterprise software with just two of us: live; where it holds, where it breaks, where humans step back in.
In Workshop 1 you got the difference between chat and real orchestration. Here we show one of the most demanding forms of orchestration: autonomous code agents that work on a repo independently for hours to days.
Cursor and Copilot cover editor AI. What Matthias shows is the layer above: agents that work the repo independently. What real agent orchestration means, he shows on a concrete live setup: Goal-driven Development (agent plans the path to the goal itself, instead of executing a static spec), autonomous code agents, quality gates and guardrails, sandboxing, the typical failure modes.
We also tackle the adoption problem honestly: many dev teams have the tools but don't use them. Why that happens, how we solved it on our side, and which patterns transfer.
You see what happens when Claude Code works on a repo over multiple days: what it gets done, where it breaks, what the setup looks like that makes this autonomy possible at all. Productive software development with a minimal review loop, but a real one.
And we make a clean cut from the public discourse: the goal is not to replace developers. The goal is to understand where your dev team stands today, and what productivity level is reachable with an honest investment in methodology.
What you walk away with
A realistic assessment of which autonomy level your dev team is operating at right now
An understanding of what Goal-driven Development and autonomous agents actually mean in practice
How to bring the setup into a team that's still ChatGPT-only today
A concrete setup pattern (guardrails list + quality-gate examples) you can walk through with your lead dev on Monday
Who it's for: Primarily for entrepreneurs with dev teams or software projects. Bring your CTO or lead dev along: team setup doesn't work without them.
