Agentic sovereign: How AI agents replaced our generalist agencies (and why developers should cheer)

As CDO of NORWEP, Felix oversaw a radical shift: we moved away from a total dependency on external agencies and replaced them with a lean, AI-augmented in-house team. But this isn't just a "cost-cutting" story - it’s a transformation of what it means to be a technologist.

In this session, Felix will pull back the curtain on how we use AI agents to handle the "commodity" work of development, while reserving our budget - and our human focus - for ultra-specialized external competence. The session will cover:

The Founder's POV: The math of transitioning from agency retainers to internal "Agent Orchestrators."

The Developer's POV: Why the "Generalist Developer" is dead, and how to transition into an "Automation Architect" who directs agentic fleets rather than manually writing boilerplate.

The Hybrid Model: How to identify the "human-only" threshold—when do you actually need that $300/hr specialist consultant?

Whether you’re a leader looking for digital sovereignty or a developer looking to future-proof your career, you’ll leave with a blueprint for the 2026 tech landscape.
