After 200+ sprints in developing a digital product, the real question isn’t whether you can innovate, but how to do it faster, smarter, and with more precision.

In this event, we’ll explore the leap to full AI automation, delving into how teams can streamline workflows, eliminate bottlenecks, and push development to new heights. 🤖

We’ll discuss the real possibilities of full automation: What’s achievable today, what isn’t, and where the boundaries of AI lie in the development process. Full automation is a powerful tool, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. While AI can handle repetitive tasks and optimize certain workflows, the human touch remains crucial for creative problem-solving, strategic decisions, and adapting to ever-changing business needs.

Piotr Majchrzak, Co-CEO of Boldare, will guide this discussion, sharing insights on where AI can truly transform development cycles and where it still faces limitations.

Adding AI to a product is easy. Designing meaningful human-AI interaction is something else entirely.

Human-AI interaction isn't a new frontier – it's the next chapter of automation, human-machine relationships, and experience design, now playing out at an unprecedented scale.

🎙️ In this episode, Anna Zarudzka (co-CEO, Boldare) and Dr Agata Jałosińska (Human-Data Interaction researcher, SWPS University) explore what it actually takes to design products that work with AI.

We cover:

The cognitive traps product and design teams fall into

The challenge of mapping real human-AI collaboration step by step

The evolving design principles shaping interfaces as AI agents increasingly talk to each other – and to us

Community for teams building digital products in the AI era. Hosted by Boldare.

Spec-First Engineering for Mission-Critical Systems with Claude CodeYou’re no longer asking whether AI belongs in your development process. That debate is over. The real question is: what do we need to define before AI writes anything at all?.

The real challenge? Moving from impressive demos to predictable, production-ready AI.Most AI-generated code fails not because of the AI itself, but because of vague requirements, missing edge cases, and no shared understanding of "done". In mission-critical systems, failure is simply not an option.

In this focused session, Piotr Majchrzak, Co-CEO of Boldare, is joined by Jakub Walczak, Senior Software Engineer, to discuss Spec-First Engineering — a methodology that puts detailed specification before a single line of code is written.

You’re not questioning whether AI belongs in your SDLC process. But we all know: there’s a big gap between AI demos and the reality of large backend systems.

2026 is no longer the time to question whether it makes sense to implement AI into the development process. Now we all know – from individual engineers, through teams, leaders, and boards – that it makes sense from a process, financial, and team composition perspective.

Having worked on enterprise backends for over 20 years and being AI-native engineers, we invite you to join us for a 25-minute session where we will share our best practices: 

• How to ensure predictability and control of AI in large systems 

• Practical use cases of AI in daily engineering work (help with refactoring, testing, and code reviews) 

• How to safely implement AI in production (without risking quality and performance) 

• How to scale AI within an organization (from pilot projects to full adoption, building standards) 

• Dealing with skepticism and resistance to AI in development teams – whether you’re an engineer or leading the team 

The session will be led by Piotr Majchrzak, co-CEO of Boldare, with special guest Maciej Król, Senior Software Engineer at Boldare with over 8 years of experience in software development, primarily in Java-based systems, and an AI practitioner.
