Closing the Development Loop with Containerized Agents

Presenter: Philipp Bauer

Duration: 75 minutes (approximately)

In this webinar you’ll learn how to build powerful programming agents, tailored to your project context and team needs. Using the Dev Container standard, this agent can be equipped with CLI tools it needs to effectively close the loop between writing code, running tests and observing application logs while a system actively runs. With tools like Playwright and vision capable LLMs, even frontend tasks can be set up to automatically inspect results while iterating through large and small tasks. The containerized environment lets you connect locally or remotely through a terminal connection or use it right from VS Code and other IDEs that support the standard. Build unified environments that can be shared across the team, make onboarding easy, and can evolve as your project does. In this demonstration Philipp will use the Pi coding harness to build an agent that uses minimal amount of tokens, that can be effectively used even by locally hosted LLMs, and is built how you need it, not how someone else prescribes it. Some knowledge about containers and Linux is advantageous but not required.
