About this session
We are entering the end game of Kenton's 15-year master plan. The architect of Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, Cap'n Proto, and Sandstorm.io, and the guy who coined the term "Code Mode", will demo Gadgets, an AI productivity suite which ties all these ideas together. We've all heard that the future is micro-apps customized for every niche, but how do we actually make that usable, how do we make it scale, and most importantly, how do we make it safe for even non-developers to use? Kenton will show how Gadgets solves these problems, including a sandbox design that makes it essentially impossible for apps to have vulnerabilities at all.
