FAQ · Identity and audience

What is AI Native DevCon and who is it for?

AI Native DevCon is a conference dedicated to AI-native software development, organised by Tessl. It targets developers, engineers, architects and tech leads building or transitioning to AI-native and agentic workflows, where AI agents play a central role in writing, modifying and reviewing code.
