  1. We gave AI agents a mobile dev environment

    Engineering teams outgrew their local machines while running parallel AI mobile development agents, constrained by heavy builds and lack of iOS tools on Linux. To solve this, they built Remote Dev using warm pools of remote Macs connected via SSH alongside separate Linux VMs for Android virtualization, paired with agent skills and live browser streaming. This setup shifted workflow bottlenecks, increasing AI-merged pull requests from 6 percent to 61 percent.

  2. Evolving our calendar assistant Reclaim to be AI-native without starting over

    Dropbox engineers evolved their calendar assistant, Reclaim, to support natural-language AI requests by building a custom agent platform that integrates with existing scheduling logic. They utilized a shared action system and a Preview Mode backed by Redis to ensure AI suggestions are consistent and reviewable before affecting real calendars. This approach allows the product to adopt AI capabilities without fragmenting its core architecture or duplicating functionality.
