​Join us for an official Digit side event @ Bolt Tartu office, taking place the evening before the conference. If you’re already in Tartu, don’t miss it!

AI is changing how we build, but the core questions remain: Is AI actually saving us time, or just moving the workload elsewhere? How are junior roles evolving? Should companies embrace an AI-first strategy or maintain healthy scepticism?
Skip the marketing slogans and join us for an evening at our Tartu office for an honest, practical look at how AI is transforming software engineering, design, and career growth at Bolt.

​Host: Olga Vyrostko, Engineering Manager

​Agenda

​17:00 – Doors open, food, drinks and networking

​18:00 – Welcome and introduction

​18:10 – Cool Story, But…

• ​Speaker: Nurhidayat Thalib, Staff Software Engineer

• ​Details: A candid look at AI in day-to-day engineering work. Nurhidayat breaks down where AI genuinely speeds up workflows, where it adds friction, and how it impacts code reviews, design docs, and code quality when dealing with high volumes of generated output.

​18:40 – Building an AI-native Design System

• ​Speaker: Elina Eltmaa, Product Designer

• ​Details: A look into how Bolt is making its Clay design system readable by AI agents. Discover how AI assistants can build UI that is correct by default, speeding up release cycles and making product design accessible across engineering and product teams.

​19:30 – Starting Out in the AI Era

• ​Speakers: Daniel Tjulinov, Software Engineer & Patrik Tamm, Software Engineer

• ​Details: Perspectives from two ex-interns starting their software engineering careers in an AI-first environment. They discuss AI-driven onboarding, where early-career engineers hold an edge, the challenges they face, and how daily workflows are shifting for the next generation.

​20:00 – 21:00 Networking

​Stick around to meet the speakers and fellow attendees, continue the conversations sparked by the talks, and exchange ideas over food and drinks.

​Doors open at 17:00! Join us early to grab a drink, get a bite to eat, and network before the talks kick off at 18:00 sharp. See you there!
