AI labs now sell agents as teammates. Before one starts, someone has to decide what it may do alone, what data it can reach and who checks its work. On 25 Nov, 4pm Lisbon, we show how we settle that for our own agents, live. Free. whitesmith.co/webinars/

When the developer’s agent writes tests from the spec’s test plan, they tend to restate the acceptance criteria and miss the edge cases a tester would find. We walk through it in “QA in an agentic SDLC”, tomorrow 4pm Lisbon. Free, link in reply.

This year's last webinars are here! - 11 Nov, for engineering: agents take a user story to an executed test, and a QA engineer reviews every result. 25 Nov, for leaders: our AI employees, each with a role, a manager and limits

Hiring 2 Forward Deployed Engineers (AI)! Not demo, support or ticket work: you sit with users, build the smallest version that runs the whole workflow, then harden it with evals, tests and human controls. Remote-first, Portugal. To apply: 5-min demo, no cover letter

A project manager’s week is full of meetings, status updates, and kicking off new work. Our next webinar will show how AI takes time off each. First, an assistant you check and approve; then an agent that acts on its own, and what it takes to get there. Join us!

On a payments feature we shipped, three agents had one job: prove every security finding wrong. Only what survived went to the tracker that gates the deploy. We show the full setup and where it still misfires on 14 Oct. Join us! whitesmith.co/webinar-tech/

We moved security review to every commit. It runs at two speeds: deep checks at design time with a named sign-off, and light checks on every pull request. Our colleague Pedro will write about this process and will explain it further in our next webinar. whitesmith.co/blog/From-peri…

Claude is cool again but codex is still our choice for tool use!

We moved security review from a few times a year to every commit. It runs at two speeds: deep checks at design time with a named sign-off, light checks on every pull request. Join us for our next webinar, where we will show our full step-up!

One of our clients is spending half a million euros on AI this year, not the way most companies would. It comes down to two things: making people capable and redesigning how the work gets done. They started with a measured pilot, then scaled. Training alone doesn't move the numbers.

The first thing leaders ask about AI is what it will save: hours, headcount, budget. In our own operations, the bigger change was in quality. You can use AI to drive costs down, but you can also use AI to drive quality up. Where would consistent quality beat saving a few hours?

Smaller team than a year ago, more projects than ever, everyone billable. That works because roles have blurred toward the forward-deployed engineer: one person owns a problem from the first call to production. AI made it possible. Seeing the same shift on your team?
