, An open online meetup "Live demo: An AI agent for development in 40 minutes"

AI accelerates development not by itself, but when an engineer has a system for working with it.
Hard&Soft Skills is an ed–tech company with courses for senior engineers and architects (Tech Lead, Solution Architect, AI-Driven Development).

At an open meeting, we'll show this system in action: in 40 minutes, we'll assemble an autonomous agent on the MCP live and run the feature through the full cycle – from requirement to product, using the agents' hands, not our own.

This is not a "game with AI", but a working picture for Middle+/Senior engineers: where agents have bottlenecks, how to get around them, and where AI strengthens you.

, What will happen at the meetup

• Full live feature cycle: requirement → design → plan → review → front and back → deployment. One person, without a code with their hands.

• How to train an agent on the fly: custom skills and MCP for your stack.

• Three rakes of AI development - the context, the task statement, the docking of large blocks – and how to circumvent them.

• Where is the engineer's profile heading and where is your leverage here in the age of AI.

• Live analysis of questions – we answer them all.

• Presentation of the AI-Driven Development course: Level 1.

, Speakers

• Sergey Golubev is a Technical Product Manager with 16+ years in IT. For the last 3 years, he has been implementing AI in development processes and building agent systems.

• Pavel Veynik – architect, ex-Architect Miro, ex-EPAM. In development since 2003, he has held 100+ meetings and conferences.

, Who will benefit from it

• Middle+/Senior engineers who want to systematically accelerate with AI, rather than using disparate techniques.

• For those who have already tried agents, but are stuck in the context, tokens and chaos from repositories.

• Team leaders who need a common agent language for the entire team.

🗓 July 7, 2026, 21:00 (Astana) / 19:00 (GMT+3)

, Format: online, Google Meet
