Massi Genta, Metabob & Lalit Kundu, Delty AI | Robotics & AI Infrastructure Leaders
AI Summary
The video features an in-depth discussion with two startup founders, Massi from Metabob and Lalit from Delty, about the future of AI in software development. Massi explains Metabob’s AI tool that helps developers debug and refactor complex legacy code using a combination of graph neural networks and large language models (LLMs), complementing tools like Cursor. Lalit describes Delty as an AI staff engineer teammate that helps design systems and guide junior engineers, focusing on the critical ‘what to build’ phase of software development rather than just coding. Both founders see a future where coding is largely automated and AI augments the role of senior engineers rather than replacing them. They emphasize the importance of embracing new AI tools early to upskill engineering teams and the need for collaboration between humans and AI agents to handle complex, enterprise-grade software. The discussion highlights how evolving AI tools will change software development workflows, moving away from traditional code editors to collaborative, English-language-driven platforms. They caution that adoption and data trust in sensitive industries are current challenges but are optimistic about rapid advancements in AI capabilities within a few years.
