The people behind the demos.
Eight practices. Eight concrete sessions in the record. Every name stays attached to the work they brought into the room.

Codex learning-product builder / Codexlingo co-creator
Galen Yuan
Galen co-created Codexlingo, a gamified platform for learning Codex through practical missions. The session moved beyond chatbot prompts into complete delegation, work across tools and apps, and verification of real outcomes.

Angela Cao
Angela co-created Codexlingo, turning the discovery of new Codex capabilities into learn-by-doing missions. The shared demo made one habit especially concrete: do not stop at an answer—check that the delegated work produced the intended result.

AI-assisted interface and design-system practitioner
Celilsemi Sam Erkiner
Sam showed how MCP, structured JSON, and a controlled React component library can keep Codex aligned with a brand system. His workflow gives the agent creative room while reducing design drift and limiting the blast radius of change.

The questions after the demo
Not a keynote. A working session.
The screen is only the beginning. The value lives in the direct question, the honest answer, and the introduction made after the chairs start moving.


Open call / Community demos
Bring the unfinished version.
Share a workflow, a surprising failure, a tool you built, or one decision that changed your process. A short demo is enough.
