About this event

Meet Backboard — The Recursive CLI, a terminal-native AI coding agent where the AI doesn't just write code, it delegates. Backboard spawns parallel sub-agents, each with access to 13 built-in tools including bash, a Python REPL, web search, file operations, and more.

It works with any model via OpenRouter (DeepSeek, Claude, GPT-4), outputs structured JSON for seamless CI/CD integration, and tracks every token you spend. No IDE required, no vendor lock-in — and our 53-test audit came in under $0.10 total.

Join us for a live terminal demo where you'll watch 3 AI agents write code simultaneously. Whether you're a developer curious about agentic workflows or looking to cut your AI tooling costs, this session will show you what budget-friendly autonomous coding really looks like.

The session will be held virtually over Google Meet — https://meet.google.com/yvf-tsnn-mrh
