AI-Powered Development: Transform Your Workflow with Coding Tools and MCP Servers

Abstract

AI has become an essential part of modern software development, promising significant boosts in productivity and efficiency. However, for developers—especially those working with the modern frameworks — the sheer number of AI tools and large language models available today can create complexity rather than clarity. Constantly evolving APIs, shifting standards, and dynamic client requirements further complicate effective adoption, often leading to frustration and suboptimal outcomes when using tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Windsurf. In this talk, I'll guide you through the AI tool landscape, highlighting which solutions truly enhance productivity in real-world development scenarios. You'll learn practical strategies for integrating these AI tools effectively into your workflows, and you'll gain insights into their limitations and potential pitfalls. By the end of this session, you'll be equipped to confidently leverage AI tools to streamline and optimize your development workflow.
