Summary
Startup Battlefield is a Main Stage session bringing together Howie Liu of Airtable, Joshua Xu of HeyGen, and swyx from Latent Space / AI Engineer. The schedule data does not include an official abstract, but the speaker links point to a founder-heavy conversation about AI-native product building: Airtable's long-running push toward faster application creation, HeyGen's generative video platform, and swyx's AI Engineer framing around agents, small teams, and the changing software-building stack. The related swyx video and extracted slide evidence should be treated as adjacent context rather than a confirmed recording of this session, but they suggest likely themes around AI engineers, tiny teams, designers, Devin, Figma, Braintrust, WorkOS, OpenAI, and Latent Space's broader agent discourse.
