## Description

The way developers interact with their primary tool is on the cusp of a dramatic transformation. Over the next few years, AI agents will become integral partners, working alongside you throughout the software development lifecycle directly within and beyond your IDE.  We’ll explore what this new collaborative landscape will look like, highlighting how a richer understanding of project context will enable these agents to provide unprecedented support and automation -- and what it means for your workflow.
