Agenda:

5:00–5:30 p.m. Happy Hour

5:30 (45–60 min): Beyond Vibe Coding: Enterprise Grade Agentic AI Development on Databricks

• Vibe coding vs. lasting software: AI tools write code fast, but without the right process, maintenance remains a bottleneck. Good software is software that's easy to evolve no matter who or what writes it.

• Humans stay where judgement matters: Agents built with Superpowers and Databricks Agent Skills write the spec first and test before coding. A person approves each step, and a change gets from spec to production in about an hour.

• The Databricks setup: Asset Bundles, data contracts in Unity Catalog, DQX quality checks, Lakebase branching and other tools that accelerate time-to-value and promote scale, maintainability.

• See it live: Watch the full loop run and leave with a pattern your team can use.

6:30 (~60 min): From prompt to app with Genie App Builder (Beta) and the new Genie Code CLI

• What it is: Genie App Builder builds a Databricks App from a plain-English description. It generates the app with Databricks AppKit, gives you a working preview to refine with follow-up prompts, then deploys it.

• Pair it with Genie Code CLI: a coding agent that runs in your terminal and is tuned for Databricks. It ships with Databricks agent skills, queries your Unity Catalog data through Genie, and builds and deploys Databricks assets, apps included, using your own permissions.

• See it live: describe an app on Unity Catalog data and deploy it from the browser, then build and ship one from the terminal with Genie Code CLI, and see when to reach for each.
