Name: AI at Build 2025: Highlights Without the Hype
Start: 2025-07-30T18:30:00+03:00

Location: Fab Lab Iasi

If you haven’t had time to keep up with the latest AI trends, you’re not alone. **Microsoft Build 2025 delivered a wave of AI-focused announcements**, and this meetup is the perfect chance to catch up without sitting through hours of keynotes.
We’ll unpack the updates that actually matter, with live examples, real talk, and open discussion about what works and what doesn’t.

**Topics We’ll Cover:**

* **Coding Agents**: AI agents that plan, write, and refactor code. Think of them as overconfident juniors with unlimited caffeine and no sense of consequences. *(Not to be trusted with production code.)*
* **Copilot Agent Mode**: Your AI teammate that helps you write code faster… until it doesn’t. Then it gaslights you with the most confident wrong answer you've ever seen.
* **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**: A new standard for secure context sharing between AI tools. It’s all good… until your AI runs `rm -rf /` because someone said please.
* **... and more**: Azure AI Foundry, Windows AI, Copilot Tuning, NLWeb, enterprise agents, and other things we’ll name-drop so you can sound smart at work tomorrow.

Join **Bogdan Bujdea (Microsoft MVP)** for an interactive session that cuts through the hype. You’ll get a practical look at what these tools actually do right now, where they can help, and where they still need work.

**What to Expect:**
✅ Quick demos
✅ Honest insights from someone who’s actually used this stuff
✅ Open discussion
✅ And beers afterwards

Since this is our first meetup in a long time, we’ll head out for a beer after the session and keep the conversation going in a more relaxed setting. 🍻
