Paul Dhaliwal on building Code Conductor and the future of AI-assisted development

At HumanX 2026, Saif Gunja interviewed Paul Dhaliwal, the founder of Code Conductor, about the challenges of building developer tools in an era where AI can generate code but struggles to reliably integrate it into production software. Code Conductor aims to bridge this gap by focusing on the orchestration layer, transforming AI-generated code into production-ready output that fits seamlessly within existing codebases, respecting architecture, dependencies, and conventions. Dhaliwal argues that the true value of AI code generation emerges when these tools understand the project context, rather than producing isolated snippets that require manual integration. In a competitive AI tooling landscape, Dhaliwal emphasizes the importance of infrastructure that supports AI-generated contributions, such as code review automation and integration testing. His strategy focuses on enhancing the trustworthiness and shippability of AI-generated code, rather than merely accelerating code generation. The full interview provides deeper insights into Dhaliwal's founding journey and the evolving AI developer tools market.
