Coding agents are changing how AI and ML products get built. But are the engineers who ship them still in control of what they’re building? Watch and listen to our June 2, 2026 live webcast of Making AI Possible, episode 6 called, “Building with Agents and Owning the Output: Coding Agents, Product Ownership, and the Modern AI/ML Engineering Workflow.”
Host Nicholas Beaudoin, Caltech CTME’s Affiliate Director of AI Programs, sat down with Michael Frantz, PhD, Director of AI at PreDoc, and Jonathan Cheung, PhD, Specialist Solutions Architect at Databricks. They discussed how to work with a coding agent without losing the plot of what you’re building and showed us what “good” looks like in production, how to stay in control of what you ship, and what the modern AI and ML engineering workflow looks like when agents are doing more of the work.
Listen in to discover how we retain the cognitive element in our use of popular coding agents like Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex.
