The computing industry has recently found itself obsessed with robots powered by Large Language Models (LLMs). People talking to robots and robots talking to robots are the talk of the town. We are happy to report that there are still a lot of people out there talking to people. We've attended a couple of great events in recent weeks and will be attending, sponsoring, and speaking at some conferences in the near future.
Apollo GraphQL Summit 2025
Xolvio is proud to once again be sponsoring and speaking at Apollo GraphQL Summit. This year's event is on our home turf (sort of) of San Francisco, so the team should be out in force. We are expecting there to be a lot of discussion of Apollo's new MCP support amid other discussion about how to leverage graph investments for AI gains. We are not yet settled on a topic for a talk, so please do not be shy if you have something you would like to see. We are looking forward to connection with some old friends and meeting a few new faces around our sponsor booth.
GraphQLConf 2025
We had a talk accepted for GraphQLConf2025 in Amsterdam, and you did not have to ask us twice to make the trip. It is going to be a great group of people in a wonderful city and gives an opportunity to close the window on Teams and Zoom for awhile and get some face time with European clients and friends. Looking over the schedule, it looks like AI will again be a big topic but we can expect some great talks about the less flashy realities of building supergraphs and the teams that make them.
Global AI Community SF - AI Show and Tell
Microsoft Reactor hosted a recent meeting of the Global AI community's San Francisco chapter and it was a doozey. A founder from Dagger gave a compelling presentation on how to use containers to generate and run multiple work trees simultaneously to test different LLM-powered code experiments in parallel. And just when you thought we had every possible *ML, we saw a presentation on BAML - a simple prompting language with support for full type safety, streaming, retries, and wide model support.
Apollo MCP Server Builder Series
Also in San Francisco, the July meeting of this series of events had a particularly roster of speakers and topics. Google put in a talk about exposing ADK tools through an MCP server. Sourcegraph showed how to put together an MCP capable of using just about any computer GUI for the purpose of testing applications. The hosts, Apollo, showed off the down and dirty details of some of their recent work on top of Apollo's MCP Server.
