Demo Event LDN:Directing AI Agents with Cursor

Abdullah Abu-Hassan, AI Solution Engineer Lead at Microsoft, will explore how the developer role is shifting from writing syntax to orchestrating AI, demonstrating how to transition from manual typing to directing autonomous agents within Cursor to build features faster than ever.
In this immersive, expert-led demo event, you’ll get a hands-on look at the future of software development. Watch as we shift from writing code to guiding AI agents, demonstrating how to effectively scope tasks, leverage Cursor's autonomous capabilities, and implement tight review loops to ship production-ready features.

Event Overview
Learn how to transition from traditional coding to orchestrating and directing AI agents through a live demonstration of Cursor.
01Shaping the Task: Define Scope, Context, and OutputStart by translating the work in front of you into a format an AI agent can successfully execute. Learn how establishing clear scope and providing the right context sets the foundation for usable, accurate output, preventing the need for frustrating re-dos.
02Building with AI: Cursor Agent DemoWatch a functional feature get built without anyone typing it line by line. See a live demonstration of Cursor in action as an agent reads the task, writes the code, executes it, and fixes its own errors—all while you direct and review the build.
03Making It Ship-Ready: Review to ReleaseMove beyond raw AI output and ensure your code is actually ready for production. Learn how to effectively review what the agent produced, catch potential overreaches, and establish a tight review loop that lets you ship faster with complete confidence.
