AI DevSummit 2025 + DeveloperWeek Leadership 2025

Abhai Pratap Singh, Amazon, Senior Product Manager-Technical

"From Technical Possibility to User Value: Product Management Strategies for Successful AI Implementation" explores the delicate balance between advancing AI capabilities and maintaining genuine user value. Drawing from experience leading Alexa's voice assistant development, this session reveals practical strategies for putting user needs at the center of AI product development. Learn how to avoid the trap of 'tech for tech's sake' while driving meaningful innovation. Through real-world examples from voice AI and multi-modal interactions, discover frameworks for evaluating AI features, measuring user impact, and making strategic decisions that enhance rather than complicate the user experience. Perfect for product leaders navigating the AI revolution.

9:00 AM - 9:30 AM Welcome + Networking (Breakfast) 

9:30 AM - 10:20 AM - Panel 1: Be Where the Developers Are
Developers often rely on one another to help evaluate new technologies, dev tooling, and programming ideas. How can marketing teams engage in these conversations without being perceived as invading their space? Our panelists will discuss their tactics for finding where developers share their knowledge and their tactics for supporting and informing these conversations.

10:20 AM - 10:30 AM - Break

10:30 AM - 11:20 AM - Panel 2: Building a Developer Community
We often speak of the “Developer community” as if it’s a homogenous group of technical experts. In reality, it’s a collection of various communities consisting of unique individuals with differing experiences and skillsets - some of whom never cross paths with one another. Dev marketing teams dream of tapping into these communities by building a subset of developers devoted to their products and services, but often struggle to break through. Our panelists will explore how they have encouraged community among their developer audiences, the benefits it has brought for their organization, and the support these communities provide to the technical practitioners who belong to and engage deeply with them.

Logan Ramalingam, Google Cloud, Head of AI Solutions

This session will talk about practical agent usecases for the enterprise.
 

Rob Whiteley, Coder, CEO

With great power comes great responsibility—and yes, coding agents can backfire if they’re not thoughtfully deployed. Instead of boosting productivity, they can frustrate developers, slow down progress, and even diminish your competitive edge.

Join Coder CEO, Rob Whiteley, as he unpacks three essential strategies organizations should embrace when scaling agentic coding agents enterprise-wide. Drawing from firsthand lessons and internal experiments—where agents effectively resolved nearly half the tasks we threw at them—we’ll share real-world scenarios showcasing engineering work AI agents excelled at. We’ll also highlight where they fell short, detailing what went wrong and what we’d do
differently next time.

You’ll walk away understanding:

* How realistic expectations ensure AI boosts rather than hinders productivity.
* Why effective human-agent collaboration is critical for developer satisfaction and innovation.
* How clear governance frameworks can prevent technical debt and keep productivity flowing.

Learn from our experiences and ensure your organization’s deployment of AI coding agents empowers your developers, ignites innovation, and solidifies your market leadership.
