We Built A Self-Improving Agentic Business

Friday, 12 June 2026 • 10:30 AM - 10:50 AM

Most companies use AI to assist their employees. We hired the AI as employees, then let them hire more.

We started with Helix Code, so our engineers could ship faster by working alongside swarms of coding assistants.

But what happens when the codebase that builds your product also starts redesigning the company that ships it? That's Helix Org: AI agents in familiar enterprise roles, free to hire more agents to get shit done. AI turtles all the way down.

I'll show you what's actually running, what's broken, and what surprised us.

This is not fiction. This is how we work!
