About this event

AI coding agents on a budget
Introducing Backboard — The Recursive CLI. It's a terminal-native AI coding agent where the AI doesn't just write code — it delegates. Backboard can spawn parallel sub-agents, each with access to 13 built-in tools (bash, Python REPL, web search, file ops, and more). It works with any model via OpenRouter (DeepSeek, Claude, GPT-4), outputs structured JSON for CI/CD integration, and tracks every token spent. No IDE required, no vendor lock-in, and our 53-test audit came in under $0.10 total. Come see 3 AI agents write code simultaneously in a live terminal demo.

Location: Fresno State University, Science II building, Room 109

Virtual: Bevy (this platform), fallback to Google meets in case of trouble https://gdg.community.dev/j/hrkchw3dvrcmy/
