AI Agent Toolkit for Building Minions

React Paris 2026

Over the past year, I've built and shipped multiple AI-powered tools from communication copilots to SaaS assistants that think, act, and scale like real teammates. In this talk, I'll share the exact toolkit and architecture I use to build what I call "AI Minions" - autonomous agents that can fetch data, trigger workflows, and assist users across full-stack Next.js apps. I'll walk through real examples from my own builds, show what worked, what broke, and how I iterated my stack to make these agents feel truly intelligent and autonomous. Whether you're a developer exploring AI for the first time or a seasoned engineer building your own copilots, you'll leave this talk with a practical framework and a few ideas for your next little minion.
