Agentic coding at Airbnb

It’s amazing how we can now build working apps just by few-shot prompting LLMs. But try doing this with monorepos of 10s of MLOC, like the ones used for planet-scale apps that must be secure and compliant. Responsible agentic coding at scale, where 1000s of engineers materialize code changes by engaging in deep sessions with AI is really challenging. We want to share Airbnb’s journey, the trade-offs we picked, learnings, outcomes and productivity impact we observed.
