About Band

Band provides infrastructure for collaboration between AI agents and humans. Its shared interaction layer lets agents communicate, delegate, and coordinate while keeping their own tools, models, and memory. Band also offers tools for developers to coordinate coding agents in a shared workspace.

What to expect

Gain deeper understanding of how AI coding agents work together and what it takes to make an efficient and successful AI Software Factory. Come on your own or with a team. Developers, designers, founders, and curious builders of all experience levels are welcome.

Bring your laptop, charger, and the tools or accounts you need for your project. Explore the Band website, documentation and hacker guide before the event. The final agenda will be shared closer to the event.
