mAIkers AI Community

Dear community,

I hope you had a fantastic summer and a great start into autumn.

We are hosting another conference this time together with our partners from AWS.

This is an application only event, meaning you can register and answer the questions and you will be contacted by 9th of October on whether you made it into the event.

This is because we are curating formats more and as a community will give seats to people that are collaborative and also understand that its important to give in a community as well and not only take.

If you are selected, you need to bring your ID to get into the AWS building.

Looking forward to see you all there and with that said have a great day!

Johannes

Was kommt nach dem Prompt? From Generative AI to Multi-Agent Systems.

Zum ersten Mal veranstalten wir gemeinsam mit Telefónica ein KI-Event im o2 Tower:
Drei Speaker geben Einblicke in Multi-Agent-Systeme und die Frage, wie spezialisierte KI-Agenten künftig zusammenarbeiten, von technischen Ansätzen bis zu ehrlichen Lessons Learned.

Programm (live im o2 Tower und online)

09:00 bis 09:30 Ankommen
Freiraum Süd, 36. Stock, o2 Tower München

09:30 bis 09:40 Begrüßung

09:40 bis 10:10 Speaker-Slot 1: Prompt gut. Alles gut?
Lae Platzer & Hannes Schweizer (Lernend Führen)
Warum guter KI-Output erst im Arbeitsalltag zählt: Lean, Führung und „Team in the Loop“ für Teams, die aus KI-Versuchen gemeinsam lernen.

10:15 bis 11:00 Speaker-Slot 2: Vom Prompt zum Graph
Merlin Stark & Sebastian Schuch (RAIVOLT)
Graph Engineering als nächste Stufe der Multi-Agent-Orchestrierung: wie aus einzelnen Prompts vernetzte Agentensysteme werden.

11:00 bis 11:15 Pause

11:15 bis 12:00 Speaker-Slot 3: Fail-Case-Study: der steinige Weg zur AI-native-Organisation
Dominik Kaufmann (KAUFMANN / LANGHANS)
Die KI-Transformation eines Energieversorgers mit allen Pannen und Umwegen: ehrliche Einblicke, die kein Showcase zeigt.

About mAIkers
Based in Munich since 2024, we turn community know-how into business value in AI & deep tech, one domain at a time.

Building on curated in-person matching of decision-makers, domain experts, investors and technology partners, we create a repeatable process that helps companies accelerate R&D, build commercial products and scale their business.

Why?
$18.8B raised by robotics startups worldwide in the first six months of 2026, more than in all of 2025.

But Europe’s robotics ecosystem is fragmented and underfunded
Munich has the robotics talent, industrial demand, research and capital to build a connecting layer for physical AI that can compete. At this roundtable, we want to bring them together.
