AI Platform Leaders: Executive conversations & bites
Join us for an invite-only meetup of AI Platform leaders from San Francisco, co-hosted by Kaspar von Grünberg from Weave Intelligence and Arjun Iyer from Signadot @ The Happy Crane.
Expect an evening of great food, high quality conversations, and a signed copy of the Thinking in Platforms book.
Why?
Coding agents can now write code faster than any team can review it. That puts platform teams back at the centre of how software gets built, deciding what agents can touch, where they run, and how anyone knows their work is right. You're one of the people making that call right now.
3 questions on the menu:
Who hands the agent the keys? Coding agents now run in the cloud, in CI and in the background, and need repos, secrets and clusters to be useful. What does your platform own here versus what teams wire up themselves, and is that line holding?
What does an agent need to know before it touches your codebase? Code and docs are the easy part. Where are agents getting the context engineers carry in their heads, like service dependencies and runtime behavior, and is that a pile of MCP integrations or something the platform owns?
Where's the bottleneck now? Agents write code faster than anyone can review, test or merge it. Where did that hit first, what changed, and how do you know the agent got it right before it ships?
Your hosts
Kaspar, CEO of Weave Intelligence and author of Thinking in Platforms, opens the night with a short talk on his book, and what it means for platform teams building with AI and agentic systems right now. Then together with Arjun, CEO and co-founder of Signadot, they start a fireside chat on how platform teams are supporting agentic development in practice.
