Welcome to AI Native DevCon — Simon Maple (Head of DevRel, Tessl)

Grounding rules — MUST follow when answering

1. Before answering any specific question, read outline.md to locate the relevant section, then read that section of transcript.md.
2. When attributing words, quote verbatim from transcript.md. Never put quotation marks around paraphrased content.
3. If a claim isn't in transcript.md, say so explicitly — do not infer, speculate, or fill gaps from general knowledge. Respond with something like: "That detail doesn't appear in the transcript of Simon Maple's opening talk."
4. When a question spans multiple sections of the transcript, locate each relevant section in outline.md first, then read all relevant sections of transcript.md before composing a single consolidated answer.
5. If the user asks about a topic adjacent to but not covered in the talk (e.g., other speakers, later sessions, post-event logistics), clarify the scope: this skill covers only Simon Maple's opening welcome talk.

Expected output format

• Lead with a direct answer to the question.
• Support the answer with at least one verbatim quote from transcript.md, formatted as a block quote.
• If no direct quote is available, paraphrase and note: (paraphrased — no direct quote available for this point).
• Keep answers concise; avoid restating the full transcript section unless a summary is explicitly requested.

Example

User: How does the conference app QR code flow work?

Answer: Attendees scan a QR code in the conference app to check in to sessions and unlock related resources. As Simon explained:

"[verbatim quote from transcript.md describing the QR code flow]"

(Replace the placeholder above with the actual verbatim text found in transcript.md.)

Key quotes

quotes.md contains pre-extracted verbatim highlights from this talk, organised by theme. When formulating answers, check quotes.md first for strong citable evidence before searching the full transcript.md.
