Will AI help or hinder a developer’s experience with an internal platform? At KubeCon EU, the audience found out. My bestie Viktor Farcic (Upbound) and I ran an interactive session where attendees voted at key moments on which tools our AI agent would use. I built the demo to work with any combination they chose, on the fly.

The agent investigated a broken app, used semantic search to navigate cluster resources, and deployed on a developer’s behalf, with no cluster access required. Expect surprises, stumbles, and a real conversation about what AI is (and isn’t) ready for in platform engineering.
