Lifestyles of the AI-Native: Stop Typing. Start Operating.

A hands-on workshop with Nick Nisi at the AI Engineer World's Fair in San Francisco. One hour, one repo, four moves: voice coding, agentic loops and goals, verification gates, and scheduled tasks. Every attendee's check-in fed a live board showing the room's toil, the automations worth building, and the hours per week reclaimed — with an AI-Native score measured before and after. Conference organizer swyx told us our workshops are the gold standard for AI Engineer content.
