AI:AM GUEST

Andrey Breslav

Founder, CodeSpeak; Creator of Kotlin

Andrey Breslav is the creator of Kotlin — the programming language now used by over 7 million developers and adopted by Google as the primary standard for Android development. He was lead language designer and project lead at JetBrains from 2010 to 2020, shaping Kotlin through its 1.0 launch and early growth. He has since co-founded the mental-health platform Alter and is now founder of CodeSpeak, a tool that extracts durable plain-English specifications from AI coding sessions, making human intent — not generated code — the first-class artifact in software development.

AI:AM LIVE — June 18, 2026 — AI Studios, Agent Factories, and Code: Judd Rosenblatt, Eno Reyes, Andrey Breslav

The opening covered the day's biggest AI stories: Midjourney founder David Holz's announcement of a whole-body ultrasonic CT scanner framed as the first vivid "AI dividend," Noam Shazeer's surprise move from Google to OpenAI, the Trump administration's demand for "uncircumventable" guardrails as a condition for Fable's return, and alphaXiv's paper-replication agents democratizing ML research. Then three guests: Judd Rosenblatt of AE Studio on gradient routing and neglected approaches to alignment; Eno Reyes of Factory on the software factory vision and why model-independence is the real moat; and Andrey Breslav — creator of Kotlin — on CodeSpeak and why "intent recovery" is the next layer of software engineering.
