Wed, Oct 28, 2:45 PM
From Best of the Bay Business Referral Exchange
5.0

We meet almost every Wednesday of the year; if we are "dark" for any reason (usually limited to Christmas and New Year's Day weeks, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and sometimes the 4th of July week), you will be told as a response to your RSVP. We recently started meeting in person the 1st Wednesday of each month in downtown Oakland at an "Oakstop" location at 1721 Broadway #201 (street level; doors face sidewalk on Broadway). Metered on street parking (you can pre-pay before 8am, which is when charging for time actually begins; most close-by metered spaces are limited to 60 minutes though it might be possible to extend time via a parking app). There are also parking lots in the area. On all other Wednesdays each month we meet online via Zoom. When you RSVP for a meeting after your request to meet with us has been approved, or at the time of your initial request, please include a short description of your business and also include your contact information in case we need to reach you before the meeting. You can attend our chapter twice as a visitor (this Meetup group seeks to find visitors to our group as a first step toward formally joining Best of the Bay) before submitting a formal application to join. Please also let us know how many guests you want to bring and tell us something about what is/are their professions.

Building Products For Agents

Building Products For Agents

Thu, Oct 29, 1:00 AM
From ProductTank SF
4.7

**IMPORTANT:** Please fill out this [form](https://forms.gle/tvNVEmfQ2nxMsw9e7) to ensure access to the building, even if you’ve already registered on Meetup. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Your next user might be an agent.** Products used to be built for humans through a UI and developers through an API. Now agents are users too. ​What changes when you build for agents? Which tools should your product offer? Should you build the connection yourself or buy it? And how do you charge when the user is an agent rather than a person? ​Join ProductTank SF and [Vapi](vapi.ai) for a panel on building for agents, pricing, and the tools that connect agents to products. Speakers will share lessons and patterns, not product demos. ​**KEY TAKEAWAYS** * ​What changes when **agents become users**, and what builders are seeing in practice * ​How to **price for agents**: charging by use or results rather than by person * ​How to **design the tools agents use**: what to offer, how to design it, and whether to build or buy * ​How product teams **manage agent use** inside their own organizations ​**THE PANELISTS** ​**Sagar Batchu** is **CEO and co-founder of Speakeasy**. He helps companies turn their APIs into tools agents can use, and sees what works across hundreds of teams. **Rami Banna** is a **Product Lead at Stripe**, working on developer ecosystems and Stripe Projects. He helps developers and agents build and launch businesses. He brings the billing-for-agents perspective. ​**Jake Sciotto** is a **Technical Customer Success Manager at PostHog**. He works hands-on with customers building for agents and brings lessons from that work. ​**Ibrahim Bashir** is a **product leader** who has worked at Amazon, Box, Amplitude, and Ontra. He brings the product-management perspective connecting the panel’s themes. ​*Attendance will be first-come, first-served. We will close doors once we reach capacity; arrive early to secure a spot.* ​*Special thanks to our generous sponsor:* * ​[Vapi](https://vapi.ai/?utm_source=luma): Build, deploy, and improve voice agents as fast as you ship.
