Lingjia Tang, cofounder of Clinc and a professor of computer science at the University of Michigan, delivered a keynote at the Velric x The Foundry Miami Hackathon 2026, where Jaseci sponsored the Agentic AI track. In the talk, she discussed the gap between adoption intent and deployment success in agentic AI, citing an OpenAI engineering director who said the industry was wrong about 2025 being the year of agentic AI due to missing tooling. She presented an approach to automatically extract developer intent from code rather than requiring lengthy prompts, and mentioned future work on auto-generating tests, prompt regression testing, and dynamic prompt evolution. In earlier appearances, Tang discussed conversational AI applications in business, including challenges in healthcare terminology and the shift from symbolic AI to deep learning. She also demonstrated her workflow in the productivity app myca, describing how she organizes tasks across focus areas, projects, rituals, and recurring meetings, and uses dashboards to track productivity across different life domains.
