Last week in Budapest, we tried a different kind of AI event with @cognition
No laptops. No long panel. No one pretending to listen while secretly checking email
We split the room into teams of “Cognition FDEs” and gave them a crisis:
- AM
- A budget airline cancels 47 flights
- 8,000 passengers are stranded
Their job was to design an AI customer support system that could actually help people: missed connections, kids, pets, luggage, angry passengers, the whole mess
The game itself was intentionally analog. Paper, pens, and projected “Mad Libs” prompts. But @windsurf and @DevinAI still ran the show
Teams sent me photos of their answers on WhatsApp. Once those landed in the right folder, Cascade ingested them, built a scorecard, and updated the live tracker on screen for everyone to see. The score was 'stranded passenger cases resolved'
Devin was also running in the background, reading the submissions and posting live 'tweets' to the room. Sometimes it praised teams. Sometimes it roasted them. Sometimes it gave actually useful advice
One team (with some folks from @atomic_chat_hq) tried prompt injection in their answer (2 times, once they even wrote the prompt in 5 languages), and Devin called them out on screen both times. Probably the funniest moment of the night
People were laughing, arguing, designing, and thinking seriously about what AI should and should not do in a real operational crisis
That feels like the right kind of AI conversation
Huge thanks to everyone who came out in Budapest. I think we’re onto something with this format!
@Ric_RTP Isn’t it ironic that in parallel with this every single frontier lab has been preaching about how “single agent workflows are dead”, and “you need agent swarms to so most optimal work”.
Feels fishy to me. Where are those motivations coming from?
Very excited for our first event for @cognition tomorrow night in Budapest.
We'll be hosting the meetup at one of Budapest's hottest restaurants, with great food, great vibes, and even a game we've come up with just for the event (hint hint @DevinAI is going to have to put on his periwig for this one!)

Devin Review runs hundreds of thousands of times per day.
Starting today, run it directly from Windsurf: a smart reviewer in your editor, with bugs and context in one place.
Also launching Quick Review: 10x faster bug detection powered by SWE-check, available only in Windsurf.
Today we’re opening Unity AI Beta to the world.
Unity AI is a suite of Unity native tools that are trained in Unity and grounded in your project context. It’s the only AI agent that knows Unity from the inside - because we built it.
Try the beta today: https://t.co/XD1G1B91P8. We can’t wait to see what you build.
We’re hosting AI Builders Night Budapest on Tuesday, May 19 at YÜME, supported by @Cognition.

This wizard has battled against all challenges and mastered his way up to Funtico! 🧙♂️
We are thrilled to introduce Lyralis Survivors, the first ever game integrated via the Funtico SDKs! This means you can now play for fun as much as you desire, but also bring out your competitive spirit: Rooms for 5 and 15 players are now officially available! 🔥
This action roguelike survival game has all the ingredients it takes to make you think "ok, this is the last try", after saying that for hours :))) - each round has its own "personality" and each decision you take creates a different journey and way to experience the game.
Let's show some love and support to the game developer - @PlayLyralis, not only because he deserves it for all his hard work, but also because he promised that in the next updates tournaments and even new characters are coming! 😮 Play, leave your feedback and enjoy Lyralis Survivors!
