I'm excited to bring you another Developer Office Hours session, this time with a special focus on applying AI directly to Sugar development workflows. Building on the strong interest in AI tools from recent sessions, I’ll be presenting a practical, hands-on project you can start using today: AI for Sugar Devs, an open-source framework to harness AI for generating high-quality Sugar code.
This session isn’t going to be a traditional slide deck, it's hands on and interactive. Bring your questions, your use cases, and even your code. Let’s work together to understand how intelligent tooling can make your development work faster, safer, and more consistent.
What to Expect
In this roundtable, we’ll explore AI for Sugar Devs, a project that helps Sugar developers leverage AI models to automatically generate Sugar Module Loadable Packages (MLPs) while respecting key Sugar requirements like upgrade safety and framework compliance. We’ll walk through the project’s approach, see real examples, and discuss how you can start incorporating AI-powered generation into your workflow.
You’ll learn:
-
How AI for Sugar Devs works — overview of the workflow from prompt to installable MLP.
-
Real examples — logic hooks, custom fields, relationships, REST endpoints, schedulers, UI customizations, and more.
-
Best practices — how to prompt effectively and validate generated packages.
-
Interactive Q&A — bring your AI challenges, prompt conditioning questions, and unique scenarios to the table.
This project was designed with real developers in mind: deterministic and agent-agnostic, focusing on reproducible and verifiable output. Whether you’re tackling small changes or generating full modules, this approach can help you get there faster.
Why You Should Join
Here’s what you gain from this session:
-
Accelerate your development workflow — see how AI can help with repetitive or boilerplate tasks. -
Engage with the community — get feedback on your own prompts and packages. -
Live problem-solving — watch and participate as we tackle real scenarios together.
-
Learn actionable AI approaches — prompts, agents, and best practices for AI-assisted coding in Sugar.
This session continues the open, collaborative tradition of Sugar’s Office Hours — think of it as a forum where developers share knowledge, not just listen to a presentation.
Who Should Join?
-
Sugar developers at any experience level
-
Administrators interested in development automation
-
Anyone curious about practical AI tooling in CRM development
-
Developers exploring how AI can fit into certification prep or scaling their customizations
