Dealing with AI Slop

September 24, 2026 · FirstMark, Flatiron

Agentics Spotlight is our recurring series where each meetup shines a light on one startup building in New York and drills into a single aspect of working with coding agents. This edition, with the team at Pangram and hosted at FirstMark: AI slop — how AI detection actually works, and how to spot slop, why it spreads, and what to do about it, inside the codebase and out.
