AI can turn an idea into a working demo faster than ever. But can that demo survive two experts who have seen every trick in the book? In this live Build showcase, developers present AI-assisted apps, agents, tools, and workflows to Mark Russinovich and Scott Hanselman. Mark and Scott will ask how it works, where the seams are, what the AI actually built, and whether the result is clever prototype, production-ready software, or something unexpectedly magical. Come for the demos. Stay for the technical reveal.
