AI-Assisted Development: From Idea to Pull Request

AI-assisted development has moved far beyond autocomplete. Coding agents can now understand requirements, explore a codebase, work with development and design tools, build and test an app, fix failures, generate a pull request, and participate in code review. At this meetup, we’ll explore practical end-to-end AI-assisted development workflows—from the initial idea and requirements to a tested, reviewable pull request. What we’ll explore Coding agents: Codex, Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and agentic capabilities in Xcode and other development environments Project context: Connecting agents to Jira, Linear, Confluence, documentation, and requirements Design integration: Working with Figma, Sketch, Zeplin, Penpot, Rive, design systems, components, and assets Implementation: Translating requirements and designs into production-ready code Code review: AI-assisted reviews, suggested changes, and automated fixes Quality guardrails: Unit tests, UI tests, snapshot tests, accessibility checks, and CI Measuring results: Code quality, rework, defects, build success, cost, and time to pull request Responsible use: Security, privacy, permissions, human oversight, and the limitations of coding agents We’ll also discuss how developers, designers, QA, business analysts, and product teams can collaborate when AI agents become part of the development workflow. Interested in presenting? If you would like to present one of these topics—or another topic related to AI-assisted development—please contact me. Short presentations, practical demonstrations, case studies, lessons learned, and honest accounts of unsuccessful experiments are all welcome. Can your company host us? We are currently exploring suitable venues and already have a couple of possible options. If your company would be interested in hosting the meetup, please contact me. We will need: A screen suitable for presentations Enough space and seating for attendees Who should attend? Whether you already use coding agents every day or are only beginning to explore them, join us to compare workflows, tools, results, and ideas with other mobile app builders.
