AI agents can write code faster than any team can review it. Code is abundant. Confidence is scarce. Join Andre to learn how leading enterprises are building agentic software factories they can trust. Learn about:

- Why human review, LLM judges, and agent self-checks break down at agent speed
- The Code Confidence Formula: Intent × Guiderails × Verification × Evidence
- How independent, zero-trust verification delivers up to 36% lower token consumption and 92% fewer issues in committed code

Walk away ready to code with confidence. On every change. At any volume. At agent speed.
