Uber's engineering team recently shared the story of Minion, their internal cloud agent platform that now generates 11% of all PRs across the company. Minion is built on infrastructure years in the making: remote dev environments, CI systems, and internal tooling that compounded into the foundation agents needed to actually work.
Join us for a live conversation with Nikhil Ramakrishnan, Senior Software Engineer at Uber. Nikhil is one of the engineers behind Minion's original design, and one of the leading voices behind Uber's agentic shift. We'll cover both sides of the story: how they built the platform, and how engineering work at Uber has actually changed because of it.
What we'll cover:
- Why agents need a platform foundation to be useful, and what compounding investments in remote environments and CI made possible
- The internal toolkit Uber built to reduce engineering toil: Minion, Shepherd, Autocover, U-Review, and Code Inbox — and what each one does
- How a developer's day at Uber has changed: directing agents, reviewing 10+ agent-generated PRs, and what that means for how engineers spend their time
- Live Q&A with Nikhil on the decisions made and lessons learned
Join this virtual live discussion for an exclusive look at how Uber built their agentic developer platform — and how engineers actually use it.
