Following the success of the 1st Self-Improving Software Workshop, we're organising the second edition on June 30, 2026.
The coding capabilities of frontier models make us all wonder what is the future of Software Engineering.
We believe "The best way to predict the future is to create it" (Dennis Gabor).
We're seeing the first signs of software being able to self-improve, and are curious to push the boundaries of self-improving software and see where it takes us.
We also believe several minds are smarter than one.
So we're organising this gathering of like-minded (call us crazy) people trying to make software self-improving — to share what we tried, discovered, what seems to be working, and what doesn't.
No titles, no degrees, just learnings.
We invite submissions of 5-minute talks (including Q&A - nothing fancy - just present what you're doing) and mingle. Ideally share a GitHub asset (a skill, a repo, even just a report of what you've observed).
Organizers: Milan Stankovic (Leadbay) & Erik Dahl (Parrot)

We're building tools to help developers post-train their own LLMs. We'll share our best practices on capturing the work your AI systems do and how to measure, train & optimize an open weight model for the repeatable aspects. We'll also share how to keep the feedback flowing so that the system you build continually improves over time in a way. |

I’ve been using IMAX as a self improving software IDE. I think this is really interesting. It allows me to express new software want and store it and have agentic processes improve it in the background as I edit my daily files. In this talk, I’ll show you how to get started with the emacs MCP server, and use it to build a customized IDE for your needs. |

I’ve been exploring how browser agents can improve themselves, with the explicit goal of adding as few tools as possible. … |

Las time I talked about Replicas, this time I want to talk about a feature that we have in development, Replicas React: an automated triage layer that turns Slack, Linear, and GitHub requests into well-scoped tasks for coding agents. … |

Feature-loop is our methodology to handle feature ideation, planning, implementation, self-testing, self-monitoring, proof-of-work creation, PR and review, autonomously. It will run for 2-3 hours autonomously and deliver a fully working feature. It will then monitor errors and fix them autonomously. |
