Free Webinar: AI-First Engineering in Production: Real Workflow, Architecture and What Changes Next for Engineers, Teams and Roles

If you are a developer or CTO/CEO of an IT company, this webinar is for you:

The 3-part live webinar series that will set you up for AI-First engineering in 2026

Dates

Jan 27, Feb 3, Feb 10, Tuesdays

Time

7:00 pm - 8:00 pm (GMT+2)

Format

ONLINE - 3 live sessions + Q&A (English)

Because I want to see a real, repeatable and production-grade approach

Seats are limited.

Here’s the reality:

You’re probably here because this feels familiar:

  • AI helps for 15 minutes, then you lose 2 hours fixing subtle bugs

  • It works on toy demos, fails on a real repo with real constraints

  • You don’t have a clear way to structure prompts, so results are inconsistent

  • You don’t know how to evaluate quality, beyond “looks ok to me”

  • You don’t trust AI-generated code - and you’re not sure when you should

  • Everyone in the team has their own “prompt style” - nothing scales

  • The space is full of noise and hype, but short on real, repeatable practices

  • Leadership asks “ROI?” and you have nothing solid to show

What you’ll get out of this series?

You’ll walk away with a clear mental model and practical approaches, you can apply immediately:

  • A repeatable AI-first coding workflow that produces reviewable PRs (not “magic code dumps”)

  • How to review AI output using diffs and guardrails so quality stays under control

  • How to design code and architecture that AI can safely extend over time

  • Where AI succeeds, where it fails, and how to reduce the failure rate

  • What’s changing for engineers and teams - and what skills matter next

Most Importantly:
This is not “prompt tricks”.

It’s engineering: workflows, constraints, review patterns, and long-lived codebase thinking.

Agenda

Full breakdown of the 3 sessions

The 3-part live webinar series that will set you up for AI-first engineering in 2026

Session 1 — From IDE Autocomplete to 98%: A Real AI-First Dev Workflow.

  • Jan 27, Tuesday

  • 7 pm GMT+2

  • Online

  • English

What will we cover:

  • What “98% LLM-written code” actually means (and what it doesn’t)

  • Tooling stack & daily loop (CC, Codex, reviews, diffs)

  • What we have built recently, some live examples

  • How does my day-to-day coding work look these days

  • What is fast becoming obsolete

  • When AI succeeds, and when it fails

  • Measuring impact: volume vs quality vs leverage

Key Takeaway:
AI is already a productivity multiplier if you treat it like a capable engineer with an incurable amnesia.

Walk away with full understanding of what is possible with AI today and what skills you need

Session 2 - Architecting for AI: principles, context, and guardrails

  • Feb 3, Tuesday

  • 7 pm GMT+2

  • Online

  • English

What will we cover:

  • How to design codebases AI can safely extend

  • Context management: slicing reality so models stay correct

  • Workflow examples (agentic where useful, constrained where risky)

  • TDD/DDD/modularity - what helps, what’s dogma

Key Takeaway:
How to design architecture and workflows for LLM first development.

Learn how to make your codebase AI-friendly so speed increases without sacrificing long-lived maintainability

Session 3 - What changes for engineers, teams and roles

  • Feb 10, Tuesday

  • 7 pm GMT+2

  • Online

  • English

What will we cover:

  • Skills that suddenly matter (and what’s becoming obsolete)

  • Seniors vs juniors with AI - what actually happens

  • How org change fails (and how to make it stick)

  • New business models enabled by small high-leverage teams

Key Takeaway:
Prepare for the new world order without hype.

Get a practical map of how roles shift, what to learn next, and how to adopt AI without breaking your org

Who Should Join:

Engineers:М:

  • You write production code and want real leverage, not hype

  • You work in an existing codebase and care about maintainability

  • You want a workflow you can repeat every day, not “random prompting”

Tech leads, CTOs, founders:

  • You want adoption patterns that scale across a team

  • You need quality guardrails and measurable impact

  • You want to know what to invest in (skills, process, architecture) for the next 6-12 months

What this is NOT (so you don’t waste your time)

  • Not a “prompt engineering secrets” session

  • Not tool marketing

  • Not toy demos only

  • Not “AI replaces engineers” nonsense

  • Not theory without production context

Meet your speaker, Founder & CTO of East.fi

About Timo:

Timo Railo is a senior software engineer, technical founder, and CTO with 30+ years of hands-on experience building production systems across web, mobile, data, and infrastructure. He is the Founder and CTO of East.fi, a matchmaker between Nordic and Eastern Europe. He has built a few companies and lots of software over the years.

Over the last year, Timo has transitioned his daily work to AI-first workflows, reaching ~98% of the new code written with LLM assistance, measured across real production repositories. His focus is not “prompt tricks”, but repeatable engineering workflows, guardrails, and architectural patterns that make AI usable in long-lived codebases.

Previously, Timo has built and used multiple low-code and tooling platforms and has always been a big believer in configuration over code. His current work sits at the intersection of professional software engineering, AI tooling, and organizational change, with a strong bias toward pragmatism over hype.

FAQ

Will this be practical or theoretical?

Practical. Production context, workflows, guardrails, review patterns, and real examples.

Do I need a specific programming language or stack?

No. Principles apply across stacks.

Is this for beginners?

If you’re brand new to software engineering, it may be too advanced. If you’re a working dev (or lead), you’ll get value.

Can I attend only one session?

Yes, but the series is designed to stack: workflow -> architecture -> roles and adoption.

Will there be Q&A?

Yes. Live Q&A in every session.

Is this free?

Yes, The 3-part Live Webinar series is free and we hope you get maximum actionable insight.

Will the Sessions be recorded?

The recordings will be available only inside the AI Empowered Devs community (may change).

How can I join AI Empowered Devs?

The pilot cohort is currently closed. We’re using this phase to test and refine the core formats - community meetups, guest speakers, and a safe space to share practical AI engineering experience (posts, comments, asking for help, and getting feedback).

If you want in when we reopen, register for this webinar series. After the series, we’ll email attendees an invitation to apply for the next phase.

About the Host: AI Empowered Devs

What is AI Empowered Devs?

AI Empowered Devs is a members only community for developers and tech leaders who want to use AI in real software engineering - not just play with tools.

The goal is practical: share what actually works in production, what breaks, and how to adopt AI without sacrificing code quality.

Where we are today (pilot)

We started on 20th of Jan. 2026 and already have 50+ active members in the pilot. We’re using this phase to test formats, collect feedback, and refine what delivers the most value - before opening officially.

What we aim to build:

  • A place where developers help developers with real workflows, examples, and honest feedback

  • A signal-heavy environment (less hype, more proof)

  • Repeatable formats that improve skills fast: show-and-tell, teardown sessions, implementation clinics, and Q&A with practitioners

Community benefits (beyond this webinar)

  • Networking with devs, CTOs, and founders who are actually building with AI

  • Guest speakers and practitioners (like this series) sharing real workflows and lessons learned

  • Members sharing wins, tools, patterns, and failures so others don’t repeat them

  • A growing library of practical resources (playbooks, checklists, prompts with guardrails, workflows)
