Berlin AI Meetup

Hi friends,

We’re kicking off Berlin AI, a series of meetups for engineers, founders, product leaders, creatives, and operators who integrate AI into real products, workflows, and decision-making processes.
We want to create a space for practical talks, real-world use cases, technical deep dives, and transparent discussions about what works (and what doesn’t).

📅 Join us on May 12 for our first event. Let’s build the Berlin AI community together.

🗣 Call for Proposals
If you’re building, applying, or experimenting with AI, we’d love to hear your story. Submit your talk via our CFP form and take the stage at one of our upcoming meetups.

🗣️ Talks
➡️ Incident Response Reimagined: Accelerating Resolution with AI Agents - Daniel Afonso
It’s 3:45 AM, and you get paged. Still half asleep, you reach for your laptop.
Turns out something is wrong, so you acknowledge the incident and embark on a journey to figure out what is happening, mobilize the right people, and eventually fix the issue. But what if we could make it easier?
In this talk, I’ll show how AI agents can help you fast-track triage, coordinate responses, debug problems, and run fixes.
To wrap up, I will show how we can go even further and move from merely reacting to incidents to proactively preventing them. In the spirit of shifting left, let’s understand how we can track future incidents our code may cause, right before we commit it!

➡️ AI Agents Are Running Your Stack. Where Are the Guardrails? - Daniel Kelleher
AI agents are becoming autonomous system operators. Authentication alone isn’t enough. Agents need proper authorization.
Guardrails are essential so agents can safely access APIs and tools.

➡️ Developer Workflows Shape the Future of AI Coding - Juan Ibiapina
This talk argues that lasting change will not come from hype or top-down mandates. It will come from the workflows developers choose, refine, and make real in daily work, reshaping how companies build software from there.
