Smarter Coding Agents for Rust with Symposium
Livestream
Agenda
AI coding agents promise faster development, but they often lack the context needed to write idiomatic and reliable Rust. At the same time, Rust's rich type system, compiler diagnostics and ecosystem tooling offer a powerful foundation for making agents smarter.
Join Orhun Parmaksız, Niko Matsakis and Jack Huey to explore how Rust and AI can make each other better. They'll discuss how agents can help developers understand compiler errors, navigate ownership and type-system challenges and move from diagnostic messages to informed solutions. You'll also learn about Symposium, an open source, vendor-neutral interoperability layer that equips coding agents with crate-specific skills, tools and workflows based on a project's dependencies.
Whether you already use coding agents or are curious about their role in Rust development, this livestream will offer a practical look at building more capable, efficient and reliable AI-assisted workflows.
