Participants gather for a group photo with the guest speaker during DevFest 4.0: Automating Workflows with AI Using No-Code Tools, held on February 18, 2026, at the Engineering Building.

The Philippine Society of Software Engineers (PSSE) held DevFest 4.0: Automating Workflows with AI Using No-Code Tools on February 18, 2026, at the Engineering Building. The seminar gathered students to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance productivity through accessible no-code automation platforms.

During the session, participants examined the logic behind workflow automation, focusing on how triggers initiate actions and executions carry them out. Through demonstrations and guided discussions, they learned how to convert repetitive tasks—such as sorting messages and generating content—into structured systems that operate efficiently with minimal manual effort.

The seminar featured Rafael III J. Prudente, a BS Software Engineering Class of 2025 Cum Laude graduate and software engineer. He explained how logical design drives effective automation and encouraged attendees to begin with simple, practical steps by identifying one task they can automate.

DevFest 4.0 emphasized the increasing relevance of AI-driven workflows in academic and professional settings, reinforcing the importance of efficiency, adaptability, and innovation.
