Hi everyone, Ever wished you had a personal AI assistant that knows you, remembers your preferences, and works 24/7 across your favourite messaging apps? In this hands-on beginner workshop, Ray Han — who runs multiple AI assistants for his own businesses — will walk you through building your own personal AI assistant using OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent platform. **What you'll learn:** · What OpenClaw is and why it's different from ChatGPT · Set up your own AI assistant (two methods — 1-click cloud and full local install) · Connect it to Telegram or WhatsApp · Give it memory, personality, and your own instructions · Real demos of what a configured assistant can actually do **What to bring:** Laptop (not tablet) with Chrome browser. No coding experience needed. Wi-Fi provided. **Who is this for:** AI-curious professionals, founders, and anyone who wants a personal AI that works for them — not just a chatbot. Speaker's profile: Ray works in a MNC, where he leads enterprise AI strategy. Outside work, he runs multiple businesses — including a TCM clinic and professional training consultancy — each with its own AI assistant built on OpenClaw. Ray is an AI practitioner, not a theorist. His AI assistants manage his content library, monitor markets, coach his fitness, and handle daily operations across his ventures, also helping to shape this event. He's currently writing a book on building personal AI assistants.

Hello everyone! Join us for an IN PERSON Apache Kafka® x Apache Flink® meetup on Apr 10th from 6:30pm, hosted by Credit Agricole CIB in Singapore! **📍 Venue:** Mapletree Business City Blk 20 West 20 Pasir Panjang Road Singapore, 117439 , Level 13 \*\*\* **🗓 Agenda:** * 18:30pm-19:00pm: Food, Drinks & Networking * 19:00pm-19:30pm: Zabeer Farook, Technical Architect, Credit Agricole CIB * 19:30pm-20:00pm: ​Dominique Ronde, Staff Solution Engineer, Confluent * 20:00pm-20:30pm: Networking \*\*\* **💡 Speaker:** ​Dominique Ronde, Staff Solution Engineer, Confluent **Talk:** Guardians of the Stream: Kafka, Flink, and the Rise of GenAI **Abstract:** In this session we will explore how Kafka and Flink can seamlessly integrate with GenAI to build intelligent systems capable of real-time learning, automation, and decision-making. Discover the next frontier in data streaming and artificial intelligence, where Kafka, Flink, and GenAI take center stage in shaping the future of industries. **Bio:** ​**Dominique Ronde** is a Staff Solution Engineer at Confluent, a pioneer in enterprise event-streaming platforms. With previous roles as a Big Data Architect and Data Scientist at freeyou, SAP, and Allianz, Dominique brings deep expertise in digital transformation, Java, AWS, and Apache Kafka®.

Outside of work, he enjoys experimenting with Arduino microcontrollers, IoT home devices, and traveling. \-\-\-\-\- **💡 Speaker:** Zabeer Farook, Technical Architect, Credit Agricole CIB **Talk:** Natural Language Analytics in the Lakehouse : Why is it harder than it looks? **Abstract:** AI agents and the Model Context Protocol finally make natural language analytics on your lakehouse technically plausible — any LLM can discover your schema, plan a query strategy, and return results in seconds. But connect an agent directly to your Iceberg stack and something uncomfortable happens: it returns confident, fluent, wrong answers with no signal that anything is amiss. This talk demonstrates exactly why — wrong metric formulas, invented business terms, incorrect join paths — and introduces the architectural layer that fixes it: the unified semantic layer, exposed as an MCP API. A glimpse at what becomes possible when agents call meaning, not just schema. **Bio:** Zabeer is a seasoned Technology Architect with nearly 20 years of experience in enterprise software across FSI and fintech, including retail banking, wealth management, KYC, regulatory reporting, and payment systems. He brings strong expertise in digital transformation, legacy modernization, and data engineering, with hands-on experience in AWS, Kubernetes, Kafka, Flink, Spark, APIs, and DevOps.

Welcome back to our meetup in April. The date is right before the GITEX AI Asia conference held at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre. * **06:00 PM** Registration, dinner, networking * **06:30 PM** Talk starts Talk #1: Powering AI Agents/Apps with contextual data from more than just the default vector search Description: Most solutions showcase vector search as the default search mechanism to power AI applications. But it is often not the most effective solution. In this demo, we will showcase different search techniques and hybrid approaches for retrieving contextual data with MongoDB. Talk #2: Real Practical RAG, from Demo to Production - in a 10,000-person organization and an intelligence org Moving from controlled demos to real-world deployment exposed several challenges that are easy to underestimate. In clean demos, our prompts/queries are often well-formed and datasets are neatly curated, and we test the happy paths. But real users behave very differently. We observed clear gaps between how users express intent and how that intent is represented in the embedding space (leads to irrelevant/missed retrievals). This made retrieval design and chunking strategy critical: how documents are split, indexed, and ranked directly impacted whether the system could “understand” a query. Additionally, as the dataset scaled with many similar or overlapping documents, retrieval became noisier - every vector is similar to a lot other vector - making it harder to consistently surface the right information. These challenges highlight that building a production-ready RAG system is not just about ensuring our datasets and RAG method works, but also user's intent and behavior. TBA: We will have a 2nd speaker talking about AI in real use cases in intelligence orgs either in this meetup or the next meetup. More details for the 2nd speaker are still being prepared.

This is not a typical networking event. We’re bringing together a small, curated group of founders, CTOs, and builders working on real products — to talk about what they’re building, what’s starting to break, and what they’re figuring out. No presentations. No sales pitches. No noise. Just meaningful conversations with people who are actually building. A curated gathering of founders, CTOs, and builders working across AI, SaaS, and technology. No pitches. No panels. Just real conversations.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches. These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun! Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up: https://www.playyourcourt.com/tennis-community/columbus-oh/meetup/ If you love tennis, we’d love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works. Happy hitting! - Scott

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
