No, That's Not a Software Factory — Ryan Cooke, WorkOS
AI Engineer — Sep 27, 2026 — talk
Why watch
Ryan Cooke from WorkOS presents their custom AI software factory that goes beyond basic sandbox-based code generation. The system includes TARS (Slack/Linear/GitHub agent), a PM agent that drafts Hilltop product docs and breaks work into tickets, and Horizon orchestration in front of an internal MCP gateway connecting every tool including Snowflake. This is a deep-dive for engineering leaders and platform engineers looking to build production AI agent systems.
