About this event

We’ve all been there: you ask an AI coding assistant to help add a feature or structure a solution, it confidently provides a response, and suddenly it breaks your application architecture or references libraries that don't even exist. As AI tools evolve from basic inline autocompletion into autonomous agents, the key to building reliable software isn't just typing better prompts—it’s defining better architecture.

Join us at Centriq on Wednesday, August 19th, as we explore Spec-Driven Development (SDD)—a practical framework designed to tame AI hallucinations and force predictable system boundaries.

Using the real-world example of a multi-camera GIF photo booth, we’ll walk through how you can leverage Antigravity and SDD concepts to build complex, reliable applications simply by defining them. Whether you are a student building portfolio projects, a new dev navigating modern tools, or a career developer maintaining enterprise production systems, you’ll leave with an actionable workflow to level up how you build.
