World Congress 2026 North America

Closing the autonomous software development loop

September 24, 2026 16:10 – 16:40 Β· 30 min Stage 1

What this session covers

Coding agents can write and review code, but they still work mostly blind to what happens after that code reaches real users.

That is changing. Scott Voigt, co-founder and CEO of Fullstory, joins Justin Halsall, core team maintainer and CEO at rrweb, for a fireside chat about making session replay usable by AI.

Fullstory helped create the market for modern session replay. rrweb made session-replay technology open source and available for any developer to build on.

Agents are starting to watch real user journeys, spot failures and friction, propose fixes, and check whether those fixes worked. In some cases, this full loop is already running.

Scott and Justin will discuss what works today, what still goes wrong, and what teams must solve before trusting agents with more of the development process.

That includes privacy, noisy data, verification, and deciding how much autonomy to give an agent. What happens when an agent can see not only the code, but what users did with it?
