Daytona , Neo4j & Lago AI Builders - Paris, September '25
An event co-hosted by Daytona and Lago dedicated to exploring all things AI Engineering!
Agenda
🕒 6:30 pm – 6:40 pm
Welcome and Opening Remarks
🎤 Anh-Tho Chuong, CEO at Lago
🎤 Marijan Cipcic, Principal Events Manager at Daytona
🕒 6:40 pm - 7:00 pm
Keynote "Building a secure MCP server with Rust"
🎤 Raffi Sarkissian, Co-founder at Lago
Outline:
At Lago, we’re giving users a natural language interface to run API queries and access revenue data safely. That means eliminating risks of hallucinated API calls, unintended writes, and security vulnerabilities.
This talk walks through how we built a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server in Rust—covering response formats, output filtering, access control, and why Rust’s memory safety and predictable performance make it well-suited for this infrastructure. We’ll share lessons learned and what’s next as we move toward an AI agent that business users can actually trust.
🕒 7:00 pm - 7:20 pm
Keynote "AX is the only Experience that Matters"
🎤 Ivan Burazin, Co-Founder & CEO at Daytona
Outline:
If you’re building devtools for humans, you’re building for the past. Already a quarter of Y Combinator’s latest batch used AI to write 95% or more of their code. AI agents are scaling at an exponential rate and soon, they’ll outnumber human developers by orders of magnitude.The real bottleneck isn’t intelligence. It’s tooling. Terminals, local machines, and dashboards weren’t built for agents. They make do… until they can’t. In this talk, I’ll share how we killed the CLI at Daytona, rebuilt our infrastructure from first principles, and what it takes to build devtools that agents can actually use. Because in an agent-native future, if agents can’t use your tool, no one will.
🕒 7:20 pm - 7:40 pm
Agentic GraphRAG with MCP
🎤 Tomaz Bratanic, Graph ML and GenAI research at Neo4j
Outline:
RAG works—until complex context kicks in. GraphRAG upgrades it by weaving in knowledge graphs to structure retrieval, boost relevance, and enable explainable, precise generation. Learn how it fuses symbolic reasoning with neural search to power next-gen, context-aware agentic AI.
