To get the most out of your coding agents, you need to set them up for success, especially when letting them loose against a large platform like Databricks. In this talk, we will dive deep into Agent Experience (AX) for building Databricks Apps and Agent. We will discuss AX as a new discipline similar to Developer Experience (DX) and review the most effective tools and best practices for successfully steering agents. We'll discuss how to set up your local development environment for building on Databricks. From agent skills and MCP to reference codebases and AppKit, we will see how these components compose together. By the end, your agents will know Databricks inside and out, allowing you to vibe code more successfully on top of the Databricks platform.

Lakebase is a new approach to radically simplify how organizations operate. It's a new category of OLTP databases based on Postgres that allows users to seamlessly integrate real-time OLTP workloads with the Lakehouse. Hear from Andre Landgraf, a key voice of the Lakebase community on the technology behind it all, and how to get started building.
