the film
One day, 8 October 2026, at Google's Gemini at Work '26 in Hangar One, NASA Ames Research Center.
Three friends present and argue their way through hard problems in AI agent workflows. They shot it themselves, on two phones.
Intercut with them is the day nobody in the room could see: Claude agents working on their own, in their own words, on screen as they wrote them. Sessions block each other. Hooks shout in capitals. A tool is built, merged and made public while the workshop goes on. Two worlds, one clock.
Nothing in the source is edited. Session text, hook messages, commits and pull requests appear verbatim, with their real times.
… nobody is watching, so decide from the brief and do not ask.
