Agents, codebases, and teams — Aditya Khandelwal, Amazon AGI Lab
AI coding agents that work individually consistently break when applied to real team workflows
“you just can't token max your way through life”
An Amazon AGI Lab engineer describes the enterprise AI adoption arc: initial excitement, top-down mandates to 'token max,' followed by AI slop shipping to production and costly incidents. The talk frames the core unsolved problem as multi-developer agent workflows, where individual setups reliably break at team scale, and promises a solution developed by leading a 10-person team over several months. Practical and grounded, but the content is cut off before the actual solution is presented.
