Speaker
Description
AI tools are quickly becoming the newest member of the development team... sometimes brilliant, sometimes confidently wrong, and occasionally chaotic.
In this talk, Brian Pichman shares how he uses AI as a daily collaborator while working with Koha. From quickly prototyping Koha plugins, exploring new integrations, and “vibe coding” experimental ideas, to debugging scripts and generating documentation, AI has become a surprisingly useful development companion.
But the story doesn’t stop at code.
Brian will also talk about how AI helps manage the other side of the work: organizing tasks, tracking ideas, planning projects, and generally keeping a busy tech brain from melting down. Think of it as using AI as both a pair programmer and a life operations assistant.
This session will highlight real examples of where AI shines, where it fails spectacularly, and how it can help Koha developers and library technologists move faster while staying creative.
Expect practical ideas, a few cautionary tales, and at least one example of AI confidently giving the worst possible answer.
