As AI agents rapidly redefine developer workflows, DevRel must evolve to support permissionless, decentralized innovation at scale. This talk explores how foundational DevRel frameworks—like the Hierarchy of Builder Needs and the Developer Engagement Funnel—can be reimagined for an AI-enhanced era.

In 2025, developer ecosystems are being transformed by autonomous agents and AI-augmented tooling. This session presents a practical and forward-looking blueprint for how Developer Relations can adapt to this shift. Francesco Andreoli shares updated DevRel frameworks that integrate AI-native workflows while preserving human-centered engagement. Through a technical case study of Builder Nights—a grassroots, shill-free event series that reached over 9 million organic impressions—we’ll explore how to scale communities without compromising authenticity. Attendees will leave with actionable insights on fostering permissionless innovation, designing AI-assisted documentation, and building resilient developer ecosystems in a multichain, AI-driven world.
