Agenda

1. COVESA AMM April 22nd 2026 in Porto

We'll have a keynote and workshop at the AMM in April. Looking for volunteers to help shape the workshop.

Action: Let us know if you're interested!

2. Agent Workflow – "Something to Hate"

Agent Workflow we could consider using as a starting point.

Examples:

• enthali/syspilot

• github/spec-kit - Toolkit to help you get started with Spec-Driven Development

3. Playground Example Selection

Your Task: Come prepared with ONE simple use case idea to discuss.

Selection Criteria

✅ DO:

• Simple, well-known function (developed 1000x times already)

• Focus on tool integration, not complex architecture

• Nothing bleeding-edge – keep it practical

❌ DON'T:

• ADAS, Infotainment, or highly distributed systems

Suggested Areas

Sensor/Actuator Level:

• Parking sensor

• Window control

Body Functions:

• Seat control

• Climate control

• Lighting

Simple Control:

• Remote locking (no digital keys)

Why Simple?

We want to spend our energy on learning how to work WITH AI tools, not designing the car itself.
