Building an Autonomous Development Workflow at Nordic Corporate Bank

This presentation will walk through how Nordic Corporate Bank built a fully autonomous development workflow where an AI agent picks up a task, implements the solution, runs tests, creates a pull request, and reviews its own code, all before a human ever gets involved.

The team of the presenter hasn’t written code since November 2025, yet it created 243 pull requests in a single week in March 2026, up from 19 the same week a year earlier. The team has only two developers. By now most of you have set up your own coding agent, maybe with sub-agents, custom instructions, and skills. But how do you go from a useful assistant to a system that runs autonomously, overnight, unsupervised, in production?

When software developers open their laptops in the morning, finished pull requests are waiting for review. Build failures and production exceptions are automatically routed to the agent, which fixes them right away. Developers spend their time on the software architecture, design, and the problems that actually require a human, plus building the system that builds the system.
This is not a proof of concept or a keynote demo. This is how code deployed to production every day. In a bank.
