In our May Developer Meetup, we covered two highly valuable tools that should be incorporated into every automation development lifecycle: the Code Analysis and Debug tools. The interest and feedback from our live audience were undeniable, such that I felt compelled to create a permanent resource for those looking for information on these incredibly helpful tools. THE WHY BEHIND THE TOOLS With an experienced automation team, why take the time to analyze and debug code? Paramount to building resilient, efficient automations is optimized code, free of errors that adheres to well-established and enforced best practices—think variable naming conventions, mandatory header comments, file paths, action maximums, etc. Every developer on your team, regardless of experience level, should be aligned on these practices to ensure a smooth development process and relieve maintenance burden down the line.

Previously, on Dev Meetups: In the March dev meetup, we dove into the world of AI Agent Studio and Governance. With expert guides Jason Trent and Rinku Sarkar at the helm, we saw AI in action through real-world demonstrations that showed exactly how these tools can transform our daily workflows. The Journey So Far AI adoption is happening right now, and our community poll proved it. ( 7:43 ) Nearly half of our attendees are taking their first steps into AI implementation – some exploring independently, others evaluating enterprise-wide solutions. This reality check made Jason's demonstration of AI Agent Studio ( 9:28 ) particularly valuable. He showed how to transform common business processes into intelligent workflows, walking through everything from creating your first AI agent to integrating it with existing systems, including chat interfaces like Automation Copilot. For those wondering how to move from experimentation to production, this was their roadmap. A standout moment was th
