INTRO: R&D Tools in the Eye of the AI Storm - the Tikal Radar

The way software gets built is changing faster than most organizations can adapt. Agentic AI is no longer a future concept: it is entering the R&D workflow, challenging existing tools, reshaping engineering roles, and forcing leaders to rethink how development organizations operate. Join us as Tikal founder Lior Kanfi reveals Tikal’s updated 2026 Tech Radar — a timely guide to the tools emerging, accelerating, or falling behind in today’s rapidly evolving R&D landscape. Then, Vitaly Gordon, Shay Mandel, and Ron Efroni, in a panel moderated by Uli Gal-Oz, will debate where Agentic AI is creating real advantage, where the hype still outruns reality, and how R&D organizations should prepare for what comes next.
