Autonomous Software Factories: Are we there yet?

Presented by Juri Strumpflohner
Code generation isn't the bottleneck anymore. Verification is. AI agents can write code all day, but most teams have no infrastructure for telling good output from bad, and no way to recover when an agent gets it wrong. The question that matters most is around autonomy: Can you let an agent work on a real task and get quality work out the other side that's actually worth reviewing?
That's an engineering problem, not a prompting problem. Workspace architecture, module boundaries, clear ownership, fast feedback — these decide the quality you get. Agents amplify whatever architecture they find. Clean boundaries become lanes. Sloppy ones become collisions. Once one agent works well autonomously, scaling out becomes tractable. Getting that first one reliable is the hard part, and where most setups break down today.
The good news: The primitives Nx already provides for well-architected workspaces happen to be exactly what agents need too. This session walks through how these map to an autonomous software factories, and where the rough edges still are.
What You'll Learn:
- What "autonomous" actually means for a coding agent, and the quality bar that has to hold before scaling
- The four primitives an autonomous factory needs: context, isolation, feedback loops, recovery
- How Nx's project graph, module boundaries, affected analysis, and self-healing CI provide those primitives today
- The full SDLC for agents: plan, break down, implement, iterate, review, ship
- Where the rough edges still are, and what's needed before "autonomous" really means autonomous
This session gives you the framework to evaluate whether your codebase is ready and what to fix first if it isn't.
Who should attend: Engineering leaders and platform teams evaluating whether autonomous agents are ready for real codebases, and what architectural groundwork is required to get there.
This webinar will include time for live Q&A and will be available to all registrants afterward as a recording.
