Beyond Lovable: AI Agents for App Development – Giovanni Tommasini – ASTRATALK
✨ From Demo to Production: Developing Apps with AI Agents
Creating an AI demo is easy these days.
The hard part is figuring out when to stop, how to take it further, and what it really takes to build a solid app.
This talk explores the crucial transition from a prototype created on the fly to an app that is ready to be developed, tested, versioned, and deployed into production.
We'll start with ultra-fast validation tools like Lovable and work our way up to controllable pipelines, agent-based repositories, and truly sustainable AI-driven workflows.
A technical and strategic journey for those who work with digital products and want to understand what happens after the prompt.
🎤 A talk to help you navigate prompts, agents, and specifications
Led by Giovanni Tommasini, CTO and AI architect, we will explore the levels of complexity and maturity in AI-driven software development:
- Prompt-to-app (validation) → Lovable
- IDE agentic (repo-first) → Cursor, Google Antigravity
- CLI agents (repo transactions) → Claude Code, Gemini CLI
- Spec-driven development (production) → GitHub Spec Kit, GSD, Ralph
To wrap things up, a live demo on how to build a useful, practical app with a team of AI agents.
👥 Who is it for?
- Anyone who develops or manages digital products and wants to use AI in a robust way
- Developer, CTO, startup builder, tech designer
- Anyone who's tired of empty demos and wants tools they can actually work with
- People who are curious and want to understand how the role of humans in software development is changing
🧠 What You'll Learn
- How to Integrate AI Tools at Different Stages of the Development Cycle
- What is the right level of abstraction: prototype or repository? Prompt or specification?
- How to Avoid Drift, Lock-In, Phantom Bugs, and Endless Loops
- What open-source or emerging tools can help you truly scale?
- What Does It Mean to Work with a “Team of AI Agents” on Code?
