Take the conversations home

Ksenia Se closes a day that ranged from agents and financial workflows to simulating the physical world. A longer list of things to investigate is a reasonable outcome for a room full of engineers. She thanks the event team, crew, sponsors, speakers, and participants, then invites swyx to the stage.

swyx thanks Se for returning as emcee and recommends her work at Turing Post. He describes AI Engineer’s effort to build a continuing home in New York, recognizing work across financial institutions, AI research, and infrastructure. The local founders and practitioners are part of that community, not simply visitors to a conference.

He previews the next AI Engineer gatherings: the Code summit, a second Europe event in London, and the World’s Fair in San Francisco. His closing request is to continue the conversations back home and meet among yourselves. The professional relationships formed during the event are part of what the organizers hope will last.

8:45:54As we come to the close of AI Engineer New York 2026, we'd like to thank everyone for

8:46:01being part of this incredible event.

8:46:03To share a few final words and officially wrap things up, please welcome back our MC,

8:46:09Xenia Seh from Turing Post.

8:46:17Woo-hoo! Clap, clap, clap!

8:46:21Thank you, Cristobal, and thank you to all of our speakers.

8:46:24And I would like to ask you to stay for one more minute.

8:46:26We have someone very special to see.

8:46:30We've covered a remarkable range over these three days,

8:46:34from building agents to changing how financial institutions work

8:46:38and how to simulate the world.

8:46:41I imagine quite a few of us have a longer list of things

8:46:44to investigate than we arrived with.

8:46:47That seems like a reasonable outcome

8:46:49for a conference full of engineers.

8:46:52Thank you, the team who put this program together

8:46:55and the crew and our sponsors and partners

8:46:59and to everyone of you who came ready to share their work

8:47:04and ask questions and do clap, clap, clap.

8:47:07Please.

8:47:09Thank you.

8:47:10I hope some of the conversations that you started here

8:47:14turn into things we will hear about at the next AI engineer.

8:47:19And I want to welcome to the stage

8:47:21the guy who has been behind the curation,

8:47:24the one and only Swix.

8:47:29She just did.

8:47:30Hi.

8:47:32Thank you so much for staying to the end.

8:47:34And thank you to Ksenia.

8:47:35Give her a hug to Ksenia.

8:47:37Thank you, guys.

8:47:38If you haven't seen, so I know she's very selfless,

8:47:41and she's emceeing for the second time.

8:47:44But if you haven't seen her videos on Turing Post,

8:47:46highly recommend.

8:47:47She has a great YouTube channel, and she's

8:47:50spending a lot of time editing that, which I really admire.

8:47:54Thank you so much.

8:47:56I hope this has been a great few days for you.

8:47:59I heard a lot of feedback from sponsors, from attendees,

8:48:03from speakers.

8:48:04And we're really trying to make a home in New York.

8:48:06This is why I'm so grateful to have Chris and Pim and all the other great New York City AI founders.

8:48:12This is something that I think people don't get enough love for in this city,

8:48:16which is how much real work and frontier pioneering work gets done,

8:48:21both in the financial institutions and just in general, AI research, AI infrastructure, and all that good stuff.

8:48:27So I won't keep you too long.

8:48:29I'll just talk a little bit about our upcoming events.

8:48:32I'm wearing the shirt for code now.

8:48:34So we're basically, you know, code is our first home, first vertical summit, and coding

8:48:40agents really I think are the sort of pinnacle of where verifiable AI is going.

8:48:48We're also confirming that we are launching AI Engineer Europe again.

8:48:53That's the second year in London in February, and obviously the big, big show of all, bigger

8:48:58than all the other ones combined, the World's Fair.

8:49:0010,000 people in San Francisco next summer.

8:49:03so there's a lot of AI

8:49:05that's going to be happening between now and then

8:49:07we may be all out of a job

8:49:09but if you're out of a job

8:49:10that means you can come to more AIEs

8:49:12right?

8:49:13so

8:49:16anyway we'll all have a good time

8:49:17thank you so much for being here

8:49:18thank you for supporting us

8:49:19I hope you all made lots of friends in professional context

8:49:23follow the conversation back home

8:49:24and meet up among yourselves

8:49:26that is what

8:49:27it's so rewarding for us and our team

8:49:29to provide this community for you

8:49:31So thanks for your support.

8:49:32See you next year.
