AI is everywhere, but what does it actually look like when it works? Join us for a meetup that brings together practitioners building and deploying AI systems in real-world environments. **⚡ Building Smarter Financial Technologies with AI** This session will cover practical AI solutions developed for financial institutions, including: * AI-powered data warehouse and AI Data Analyst * AI chatbot for customer support * Segmentation tools and audio analysis for call centers * Income analysis tools for self-employed customers Speakers: **Aleksi Kvitatiani** \- AI & Data Project Lead at Silk Bank\, where he built and manages a cross\-functional team responsible for the bank's end\-to\-end data ecosystem\. His work includes an AI\-powered data warehouse that lets business users query data in natural language\, an agentic chatbot that reduced call center load by 75%\, and an AI\-assisted income analyzer for credit risk teams\. Before Silk Bank\, he consulted as a freelance data analyst for FMCG operations in Georgia\. He also co\-founded Outswift\, a studio building ML and agentic AI solutions for SMBs\. **Shalva Elishakovi** \- AI\, Data & Growth Project Manager at Silk Bank\, where he leads the development of AI\-driven solutions across business functions\. He has contributed to building one of the first AI\-powered banking assistants with secure access to customer data and analytical capabilities for improved support and decision\-making\. He is also a Co-Founder of Outswift, developing AI products across industries, including computer vision for FMCG and audio intelligence for call center analysis, with a focus on scalable, real-world solutions. ⚡ **It turns out you do not need a multi-agent system** Ever thought about building a multi-agent system just because business or marketing said it was a cool idea? Well, we all have. Over the past two years, we’ve been sold countless ideas and swept up in plenty of hype. But as things are becoming somewhat “production-ready”— thanks to coding assistants emerging as the most practical use case for LLMs — we’re now seeing Agent Skills and sub-agents as more effective patterns for building complex systems. Let’s dive into the recent trends that are sticking and explore the challenges we still face, including token consumption costs, guardrails, and creating agents that truly deliver customer value. Speaker: **Natig Kurbanov** \- Lead Software Engineer and an AI Solutions Engineer at EPAM Georgia\. As an EPAM AI Ambassador and community driver for [JAR.GE](http://jar.ge/) and GenAI-X Georgia, he is a frequent face on the tech circuit. During the networking part, feel free to go beyond Natig’s talk theme of multi-agent system — ask him about Japanese maples, magnolias, or Zen gardens, and you may find yourself in a long and engaging conversation. **When:** 7 May, 18:30 **Where:** EPAM Georgia (10 Bidzina Kvernadze Str., Tbilisi) Attendance is free and requires RSVP on Meetup.com. 🤝 The Meetup is organised by [DataFest Tbilisi](https://www.datafest.ge/) and hosted by [EPAM Georgia](https://www.epam.com/). The event partners are [World Quant](https://worldquantbrain.com/consultant) and [Charte](https://charte.ge/).

Join us for the Columbus Animal Advocates spring social at Goodale Park! We'll be sharing delicious vegan cookout dishes, playing games, and socializing. Come out to meet CAA, learn more about what they do, relax, and enjoy the beautiful spring weather with other animal lovers.🐷🐮🌱 Just bring yourself, some friends, some lawn chairs, outdoor games if you want, and an appetite! The food was so good last time 😋 If you want to bring a vegan dish to share, you are welcome to, but it's not required. If you cannot find the group when you arrive, just message below and someone will come guide you to us. I hope some of you can come out to join!

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

Tickets are now on sale!🥳We also will have lunch before. At the Rusty Bucket in Easton which is posted separately. 😊 Park in the East Garage.The restaurant is across the street then we can walk back together to the movie! 🥳

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!

**Optional movie afterwards**
