Building in the AI Era

​AI is changing the skills required to build great products. It's not about tokenmaxxing coding agents — it's about reorienting the work toward outcomes that matter. The best operators, regardless of title, can understand customer feedback, build a solution, and ensure it's adopted at scale.

​In this panel, we'll get into what this shift looks like day-to-day, how teams are rethinking hiring, and where the builder role is headed from here. You'll hear from Arya Asemanfar (Head of Engineering, Sierra), Stella Shannon (Member of Product Staff, OpenAI), Cliff Chang (Head of Engineering, Wispr Flow), and Vijay Iyengar (Engineering Manager, Sierra), and the panel will be moderated by Anika Ayyar (Agent Development PM, Sierra).

Here's how the evening will flow:

• ​5:30-5:45pm - Registration / Welcome

• ​5:45-6:30pm - Panel discussion

• ​6:30-7:30pm - Happy hour & networking

​We hope to see you there!

​Space is limited, so please RSVP soon! Location details will be shared upon confirmation.
