Modern codebases don’t change one repo at a time. Shared libraries ripple across services, migrations span hundreds of targets, and simple refactors get stuck in coordination and rollout. This talk explores how AI can turn large-scale code change into a repeatable capability. Agents that plan work across multiple repos and produce reviewable pull requests. We’ll discuss what makes this safe at scale including standardized tool interfaces to internal systems, orchestration for sequencing and dependency propagation, and quality gates that keep humans in control.
