Building Your Own Jarvis: AI That Knows You by Marcus Lane

Ever wished you had your own Jarvis or Cortana to help with coding? In this session, I’ll walk through my journey of building a personal AI assistant tailored to my workflow—why I started, the challenges of AI personalization, and key lessons in prompt engineering. You don’t need to build your own, but understanding how to adapt AI to your context can unlock massive productivity. Whether you’re a developer, a company thinking about AI assistants, or just curious about the future of coding with AI, this talk will give you practical insights and a real-world demo of what emotionally intelligent AI can look and feel like. --- Marcus is a Frontend Architect with nearly a decade of experience building fast, resilient systems at scale.
