Gary Qi is the Developer Operations Manager at Trae, an AI-powered coding IDE developed by ByteDance. He previously contributed to shaping Coze, an AI agent platform recognized by A16z as one of the Top 50 AI apps of 2024. His work focuses on transforming development innovation, with a strong interest in how AI coding tools redefine software creation and developer experience. In earlier work, he contributed to Siemens’ Technology Innovation Department, where he explored early-stage LLM applications to accelerate AI adoption across its global business units.
As AI-native tools evolve, we’re entering a new era of software development—faster, more creative, and radically more accessible. In this talk, we’ll explore how Trae envisions the future of AI Coding: where building becomes as natural as thinking, and development workflows are transformed by agentic automation. From removing technical barriers to enabling faster, collaborative creation, discover how AI will transform not just how we code, but what we’re capable of building.
