Automating the boring stuff: AI-powered developer workflows
Less busywork, better workflows — learn what it takes to build AI agents that help, and when doing less actually works.
Two talks, one conversation, and a room full of developers figuring out what’s worth automating.
AI agents promise to take the boring stuff off your plate. But what does it take to make them work? And when does adding more tooling just create more work?
Join us in Barcelona for an evening of practical lessons, hard-earned insights, and meaningful connections. Semrush engineers, Daria Naidikova and Nick Kalion, will share what they learned building and testing AI agents — from breaking complex tasks into reusable skills to finding out when leaving things alone delivers better results.

Boring task, hard lessons: Building an AI agent that works
Getting an agent to do a task is one thing. Getting it to do that task reliably is another. Daria shares the hard lessons behind building an agent that works — and packaging it so other teams can use it too. What you’ll take away: Why agents need reference docs, not just examples How to split complex work into small, testable skills and coordinate them with an orchestrator Why output validation belongs in a separate, isolated step How to package your solution for reuse across teams
