5:35 pm - 5:50 pm
Talk "Your Agent's Slowest Tool Is Its Mouse"
Muhammad Annas Hashmi, DevRel at Daytona
Outline:
Every click a GUI agent makes costs a full screenshot & a model round trip, & it only lands if the layout stayed where the model last saw it. Chain a task out of clicks & you have bought seconds of waiting & a context window full of pixels for work a shell one-liner could have done. Screenshots are heavy. Text is light. And a click sequence is the most fragile program ever written. No variables, no error handling, & the only retry is asking the model again.
This talk builds the cost model of computer use. Where the waiting actually comes from, why pixel agents break when nothing is wrong, & the levers that fix it: read structure (a DOM, an accessibility tree) instead of rendering it to an image first, write code instead of emitting one click at a time, & cache what worked so the second run costs nothing. I'll then follow up with a demo of what we're doing at Daytona to address these.

Talk "The AI Builder's Survival Guide: Bridging Engineering, UX, & Stakeholder Buy-In"
Varsha Kori, Senior UX Designer at Amazon
Outline:
Building powerful AI models & agentic workflows is only half the battle. The real hurdle is turning complex, non-deterministic backends into intuitive products that users trust & stakeholders support. In this talk, I'll share a practical survival guide based on my experience at Amazon, helping AI engineers & product creators navigate the messy realities of shipping modern AI.
From handling unpredictable outputs to aligning technical capabilities with core business goals, I'll outline actionable frameworks to bridge the gap between deep technical execution & seamless user adoption.
Key takeaways include:
- Translating AI to Value: Frame complex technical architecture into tangible business impact to secure executive buy-in.
- Designing for Uncertainty: Build user trust & effective feedback loops within non-deterministic agent interactions.
- Frictionless Engineering & UX Collaboration: Bridge the divide between technical sandboxes & end-user interfaces without slowing down development momentum.
- Whether you're developing autonomous agents, LLM-powered features, or developer tooling, you'll leave with a clear blueprint to ensure your AI breakthroughs deliver real-world product success.
