About us
This group organizes events around OpenMates - from meetups accessible for everyone regardless of tech experience, to workshops, hackathons and possibly more.
OpenMates gives everyone access to privacy & user interests focused AI team mates which can handle everyday tasks (like finding events, doctor appointments, train connections with prices and much more), help with building projects and learning. Making the useful aspects of AI accessible to a wide audience.
With the goal to built not just an open source alternative to big tech AI chatbots & agentic systems, but to built something better: a incredibly useful software that puts user interests first, with a better usability, privacy, safety, functionality than what you can expect from profit-at-all-costs big tech companies.
OpenMates is open to the public, around 200 people currently use the official cloud version, and you can start using it as well, or set up the Self Hosting Edition on your own server, if you have experience with setting up a server & are willing to invest some setup & maintenance time.

[ Online ] Beyond vibe coding: Introduction to spec driven development
Location not specified yetAlready made your first experiences with vibe coding but started to get unhappy with the result quality, bugs that pile up and increasing concerns about how safe and stable your project actually is? Or you strongly dislike the idea of vibe coding and have been very skeptical of letting AI code software, but are interested in learning more about how to use AI properly to build more complex software projects?
This presentation plus Q&A will give you an introduction into how to make use of the new “Projects”, “Plans” and “Tasks” features on OpenMates.org for proper agentic coding. Including hardcoded enforcement of plans and rules and other game changing out of the box features.
In the Q&A part you have plenty of time to ask questions, explain & discuss your agentic coding workflow - and get free personal recommendations for how to setup and improve your agentic coding workflow.Video call link:
