About the Event

If you thought ‘infinite context’ windows can effortlessly swallow your enterprise monolith, then think again. This session shatters the illusion of massive prompt windows and introduces a practical, distributed-systems approach to AI context management. Discover the exact framework used to orchestrate an army of specialised, tool-driven subagents that can successfully map out and reverse-engineer 10,000+ file XXL codebases without ever hitting the context wall.

Harshad will take you through how these specialised agents divide and coordinate the work, progressively build an understanding of a large codebase, and turn an otherwise overwhelming reverse-engineering problem into a structured, scalable process. The session will also explore the architectural choices that make this approach work in practice, and where the real challenges emerge when AI agents tackle enterprise-scale systems.

What you’ll learn:

How to manage AI context when working with massive enterprise codebases
How specialised, tool-driven subagents can divide and coordinate reverse-engineering work
A practical framework for mapping and understanding 10,000+ file XXL codebases
The architectural patterns that make multi-agent context management scalable
What it takes to move beyond a single agent trying to understand an entire codebase at once

Format

The event will feature short talk on relevant topic, followed by interactive discussions and Q&A. The format encourages participants to share experiences, exchange ideas, ask questions, and learn from each other in an informal and engaging setting.
