Meta’s first internal AI agent went from zero to thousands of engineers using it daily. That doesn’t happen by accident. On Tuesday, February 25th at 5:30 PM Pacific, the person who built it, Jim Everingham, will explain how.
Jim is the CEO & co-founder of Guild.ai. Previously, he led Meta’s developer infrastructure organization & was responsible for building Meta’s first internal AI agent, work that moved from experimentation to real adoption across engineering teams.
Before Meta, Jim built developer platforms at Instagram & Yahoo, giving him a unique perspective on what scales, & what creates long-term friction.
During this Office Hours, Jim & I will talk about :
- Building Meta’s First Internal AI Agent : What it took to drive real adoption inside a large engineering organization, including integration into developer workflows, trust, & reliability challenges.
- AI Agents in the Real World : Where agents are delivering value today, where they break down in production, & which design patterns survive beyond demos.
- Scaling Developer Infrastructure : Lessons from building platforms at Meta, Instagram, & Yahoo, including early decisions that compound versus those that quietly create long-term friction.
This session is designed for founders & engineering leaders who are actively building & deploying AI systems today. The goal is a candid, grounded discussion focused on what actually works in production & what mistakes are hardest to unwind later.
If you’re interested to attend, please register here. As always, submit questions through the registration form & I’ll weave them into the conversation.
I look forward to welcoming Jim to Office Hours!
