MCP, Multi-Agents, and "Grill Me": Real-World AI Workflows That Actually Deliver
Session
Ever feel like using AI is just a glorified game of twenty questions? You ask a chatbot something, get some random code back, and spend ten minutes fixing it. That’s not collaboration; it’s a distraction.
In this talk, we’ll look at how our team moved past basic prompt engineering and turned AI into a true teammate using a simple 4-step framework:
True Collaboration: Changing how we interact with AI daily.
Compounding Assets (MCP): Connecting Figma to Jetpack Compose, auto-generating deep links, and building custom string tools.
Multi-Agent Workflows: Creating an AI assembly line (Planner, Architect, Coder, QA, and Reviewer) to stop model bias and catch bugs before committing.
Our Custom Toolkit: A look at the weird but effective tools we actually use, like the "Grill Me" protocol and handoff sessions.
No hype, just real workflows you can actually use in your Android team.
