How is AI changing the world beyond software?

Thu, Oct 22, 4:30 PM

From On Product

4.7

After a too long break, it's time to get together again. And the next meetup topic is: **"How is AI changing the world beyond software?"** We, *software* product builders, deal with AI every day in our product work. We can imagine where things are heading in the our *software* building world, but what about the rest of the world? Healthcare, education, logistics, the arts? What's actually shifting out there? To keep it real, I'd love each of you to bring a guest who does NOT work in tech or software. A teacher, a doctor, an architect, a chef... anyone with a perspective from outside our bubble. More details coming soon. Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Where do your users get stuck?

Wed, Oct 21, 7:00 AM

From Human-Centered Design Workshops Berlin

You know how your product or service is supposed to work. But what does the experience look like from your user’s side? A confusing first step, missing information, an unclear next action: small moments can make people hesitate or give up. In this free, hands-on workshop, we’ll use a Customer Journey Map to explore an experience from the user’s perspective and identify something worth improving. No previous experience with journey mapping is needed. **WHAT WE’LL DO** Bring a product, a service or a startup idea you’d like to work on. Together, we’ll: • Choose a specific user and a goal they want to achieve • Map the steps they take, including their questions and possible frustrations • Identify one critical moments • Sketch a possible improvement and a way to test it You’ll leave with a first journey map, fresh perspectives from other participants and a concrete next step to explore. **WHO IT’S FOR** Startup founders, early-stage teams, freelancers, and people working in UX, product or service design who want to explore a real challenge together. Come with a project if you have one. If you don’t, you can work through an example. **THE FORMAT** 90 minutes · In person In English (possible interaction in Italian, Spanish and German too) A small-group session with guided activities and peer feedback. **ABOUT THE FACILITATOR** I’m Corinna Fumagalli.

How to ship code fast with AI without paying for it later

Thu, Oct 22, 4:00 PM

From Berlin BankTech Nights

4.7

What if the best engineers in the age of AI are the ones who know when to stop? Join us for a buildersklub evening at Deutsche Bank with Giuseppe Minnella, Frontend Technical Lead & Line Manager at Deutsche Bank. AI-assisted coding is making teams dramatically faster at prototyping, explaining and onboarding. But in real production systems, especially complex or regulated ones, speed is only half the story. The harder question is what should be allowed to exist at all. Giuseppe will talk about drift: small, plausible additions that look like good practice but slowly pile up unnecessary abstractions, new states, unclear ownership and maintenance cost without adding real business value. His central idea is simple. As generation gets cheap, engineering value shifts toward containment. 👤 Who is this for? Builders, Product People, Software Developers, Engineering managers, Tech leads 🌟 What You'll Learn \- Why AI\-assisted work drifts\, and what that drift looks like in real codebases \- How "good practice" additions quietly turn into operational burden \- When to accelerate with AI and when to stop \- How to keep systems aligned with intent as generation gets cheaper 🗓️ Agenda \- 18:00–18:30 · Welcome & Networking \- 18:30–19:15 · How to ship code fast with AI without paying for it later with Giuseppe Minnella \- 19:15–19:30 · Q&A \- 19:30\-20:30 · Open Networking \[Drinks & food\] Location: **Deutsche Bank Berlin Technology Centre** Otto-Suhr-Allee 16 10585 Berlin-Bezirk Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf

Show & Tell: Vibe Coding & Local LLMs

Fri, Oct 23, 4:00 PM

From STEM 4 Health Berlin

4.7

These are the times of Act first, Plan later. GenAI is moving very fast. The last time I did a power point with more than one slide was... I don't even rmember. So instead of talking about what *could* be possible, we want to show each other what we are doing. We will share some of the solutions we have **vibe coded** and experiments we are doing with **local LLMs**. Obviously most will be healthcare IT, digital health, pharmaceuticals solutions. **This is an open Show & Tell.** If you are building, experimenting, or simply trying something cool in this space, **contact me and get yourself onto the agenda.** It doesn’t have to be perfect nor a finished product. MVP, prototype, an experiment that failed but taught you something is absolutely welcome. **Agenda**: Daniel Yasman, Prashant Singh / Bayer AG Kyriaki Forfoli / Bayer AG - Experimenting with Local LLms Anil Savci / Bayer AG Finn Rössler / Bayer AG Joshua Nockel-Steckmann / Bayer AG Chriastopher Bläsing / Bayer AG Refreshments will be provided.

See & Discuss #01: Cattelan - Neue Nationalgalerie

Sun, Nov 1, 5:00 PM

From Art After Hours

For our first meetup, we’re diving into the world of Maurizio Cattelan at Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie. Known for his provocative, often ironic works, Cattelan has a way of making us laugh, feel uncomfortable, question what we’re seeing — and sometimes wonder whether it’s art at all. Have you visited the exhibition? Let’s get together to share our impressions, exchange perspectives, and discuss what we think lies behind the work. We’ll kick things off with a few conversation prompts before settling into a relaxed, open discussion. Afterwards, we’ll continue over drinks and get to know each other. No art expertise required, no right or wrong answers — just curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to share your thoughts. **Important**: Please visit the exhibition independently before the meetup. You don’t need to prepare anything — just come with your impressions! https://www.smb.museum/en/exhibitions/detail/maurizio-cattelan-night/ Let’s see what happens when we look at the same art through different eyes. ✨
