It’s that time of the year again, when our Omi-squad and tech-loving friends come together to share ideas, show off their projects, and get hyped about what’s next. Yes, it’s our developer conference… but this year, with a twist.
We gave it a brand new name: Command O.
Why? Because Command+O is the shortcut you use to open something. And that’s exactly what we want this event to represent: opening up our work, our culture, and our thinking to new people and fresh perspectives.
This year we explored the theme “Build </> with AI,” challenging everyone to ask: What can we build with AI? From tools that make life easier to ideas that change the game. The goal was to explore how AI is shaping the way we create, work, and live.
But before we jump into the talks, let’s take a quick look through the event.
This year, we hosted the event just around the corner at the CDC Ballroom, a short stroll from the Omise office. From the moment you stepped in, you were greeted by a retro, 8-bit inspired Command O video lighting up every screen.
At registration, familiar faces from our PO team welcomed guests with limited-edition SWAG (for attendees only!). Inside, you’d find a lively setup including a photo booth, fun activities, and partner booths from AWS, MongoDB, and Ruby. Ready to get you excited even before the sessions began.
After a short welcoming speech by Jun Hasegawa, our CEO, we kicked off the day with keynote sessions.
In How Tech Giants Can Ignite Thailand’s Startup Ecosystem, Alvin Kantapura, CEO of Nexus AI and an Omise alumnus, took us back to the 2012–2018 startup scene in Thailand and examined how it entered its winter period. Yet, with the rise of AI, Alvin predicted a new wave of startups is coming, and that tech giants will play a major role in driving it forward.
Next up, “Shift Happens – Real AI Stories at Omise.” After discovering that 75% of knowledge workers now use AI in their daily tasks, Nor Kanjanahattakij, our Group Technical Product Manager, set out to learn how Omi-squads are embracing this shift. Through interviews with over ten teams across the organization, Nor uncovered real stories of how small, everyday AI-driven improvements can create large-scale transformation.
The first session after lunch was “Omise Shopping Agent,” where Sylvain Dormieu, our Director of Engineering, shared the journey of building a smart shopping agent, from challenges and breakthroughs to key learnings. Joining him was Kanoknapa Pongboripat, Strategy & Operations Manager, stepping into the role of client as part of a pilot project.
Then came the AWS Session, where their team prepared sessions for both tech and non-tech participants to explore how Amazon Q Developer helps accelerate ideas into prototypes—complete with hands-on experience and a coding challenge. After that, MongoDB showed us how they deliver the flexibility modern applications demand with AI, while the Ruby talk explored how to leverage AI with Rails and how it can impact developers’ positioning in the market.
In the last keynote session, “Meet ADAM: Built on Cursor, Fueled by Curiosity,” we learned how a single developer can build a sophisticated conversational AI agent as a side project. Rosanna Patumbon Agustin, our Quality Assurance Manager, introduced ADAM, a proof-of-concept AI built almost entirely using Cursor AI. He walked us through what inspired the project, the challenges along the way, and how curiosity turned an idea into a working prototype.
One of Command O’s goals was to spark new ideas, and what better way to do that than through a series of lightning talks designed to ignite inspiration?
For many non-engineers, LLMs can feel almost myth-like — fascinating but difficult to grasp. Our Lead Software Engineer, Wiwatta Mongkhonchit, broke down the magic behind LLMs in simple, non-technical terms. He explained how “vector embeddings” transform words into meaningful numbers, allowing machines to interpret sentences much like the human mind.
We’ve all heard of “AI Agents,” but what exactly are they? Piyawat Setthitikun, our Solution Architect, started from the top: defining what AI Agents truly are, sharing real-world use cases, and demonstrating their potential across domains from HR to healthcare.
Test coverage is critical to building great software, but generating those reports is often tedious and time-consuming. Pornpan Songprasop, our Associate QA Manager, shared why this process can be a bottleneck and how AI can change that. By using Cursor AI to generate test coverage reports and tools like n8n to automate workflows, teams can save time and focus on what truly matters: improving quality.
Online payments have transformed how we shop and transact, but behind the scenes lie challenges like fraud detection, latency, and manual scaling. Vubon Roy, our Senior Software Engineer, explored how AI can make payments even faster, smarter, and more secure, particularly with the power of MCP servers.
Hanh (David) Do Minh, our Director of Engineering, demonstrated how GitHub Copilot Agent can consolidate data from GitHub and Buildkite into a unified dashboard for smarter release insights. He walked us through his learnings, challenges, and key takeaways.
The event wrapped up with a short speech from Amborish Acharya, Head of Global Engineering, and Yusuke Tomimoto, Group Chairman, before everyone returned to the office to continue networking and enjoy the after-party.
We caught up with two attendees—Mew Teerapat, Quality Engineer, and Hamdy Mohamed, Associate Engineering Manager—to share their experiences at Command O 2025.
What was your favorite part of Command O, and what made it stand out?
Mew: My favorite part of Command O was the “Accelerate Build to Operation with Amazon Q Developer & introduction to Kiro and AI-DLC” session from AWS. It was really impressive to see how AI can take part in the entire development lifecycle — from building to deployment — just by describing what you want. The demo showing how an AI could build and deploy a full game end-to-end was especially inspiring. It made me realize how much faster and more creative development could become with the right AI tools.
I was also impressed with the fun side of the event this year: the photo booth and partner booths with activities where you could learn while winning freebies. The sessions were great, but it was nice to take a break, walk around, and do something different too.
What was your biggest takeaway from the sessions at Command O?
Hamdy: I was truly impressed by the amount of passion and energy at the Command O event—from both the speakers and the audience. Everyone was eager to explore, discuss, and learn something new. There were many fascinating talks about AI showcasing its technologies and capabilities, but I particularly enjoyed Unlocking Release Insights with GitHub Copilot Agent by David. It was truly impressive, demonstrating the real value of using AI to create a practical tool that directly benefits our engineers. The tool was a live example of the new era of the development lifecycle—the speed of development compared to the value delivered was phenomenal.
Another standout session for me was The Science of Understanding by Cheab Wiwatta. He delved deep into theory and concepts using simple language, laying out a strong foundational understanding that every engineer can benefit from.
And there you have it. A snapshot of what went down at Command O 2025. Though it turned out amazing, it’s still only our second developer conference. We’ve got plenty of ideas on how to make it even better next year.
So… see you at Command O 2026 😉
