60-Min Live Build Session

The Spec Is the New Code: How Finance Teams Build Their Own AI Agents

Accounting teams can build their own tools now, but the hard part isn't building. It's knowing what's worth keeping, what needs controls, and what an auditor will ask about.

Sam Yen and Spencer Linder build a real finance agent live. You'll see the standing accrual reserve model spec written in plain English, the controls and non-functional requirements generated with it, the tests run, and every output traced back to where it came from.

No slides about AI. One agent, built in front of you, from prompt to production.

What You'll See

Accounting teams can build their own tools now. The tools are good enough that a controller with a clear head and an afternoon can stand up something that works.

The hard part moved. It's no longer building — it's knowing what's worth keeping, what needs controls wrapped around it, and what an auditor is going to ask about in March.

This session is one hour and one agent. Sam Yen and Spencer Linder build a standing accrual reserve model live: the spec written in plain English, the controls and non-functional requirements generated alongside it, the tests run in front of you, and every output traced back to where it came from.

No slides about AI. From prompt to production, in the open.
