Rootconf 2025 Annual Conference CfP

With so much hype around AI tools, developers can now build and ship faster. Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor make it super easy to write code and vibe with it. But sometimes, these tools fail to understand the context and intent behind prompts. When you provide them with the code and details first, they can finally answer your queries. However, the code they generate might not align with the development practices used in your codebase. And let’s be real, how is it even possible to feed the AI your entire codebase and development practices?

That’s where developers start feeling like they’re losing the game and AI just isn’t able to “vibe” with them. Sure, these tools save us a lot of time, helping us think and implement faster, but they don’t always grasp exactly what we want.

This is where Repo Grokking comes in. Repo Grokking is the process of deeply understanding and analyzing entire code repositories. It’s about truly grasping the structure, patterns, and logic of a codebase. This process involves several key steps. A tool like Zencoder, an AI coding agent, has the ability to understand codebases before providing solutions. Developers can now use this power to achieve greater things. In this talk, we will discuss the benefits of Repo Grokking, best practices, and why it is the future of AI-driven coding.

The audience will be able to understand -
How Repo Grokking helps AI tools provide more relevant, context-aware coding assistance and how it works internally on a system level.

How developers can leverage AI coding agents like Zencoder to improve efficiency while maintaining code quality and best practices.

Who will benefit from this session ?
Everyone wants to understand the new way of Coding with AI.

Developers & Engineers who rely on AI tools for coding and want better alignment with their codebase.
