What building Canyon taught us about AI and platform engineering

In this talk, Kaspar von Grünberg, shares insights from his journey building the AI-first platform assistant Canyon into actionable lessons for platform engineering teams. Learn why chat is emerging as the preferred interface, how deterministic backend APIs and strict RBAC tame LLM hallucinations, and which real-world use-cases - from “what’s running where?” visualizations to on-the-fly scaffolding - deliver the biggest impact.
