This month we have 3 talks Talk 1: Day to Day AI Talk 2: Scalable AI Talk 3: Production Ready AI Talk 1: Day to Day AI - AI, Agile and Productivity AI is changing not only how we work but how we plan and organise our projects. Join us for a quick overview of how we can leverage AI to take some of the heavy lifting out of effective planning, how AI can transform opaque requirements into actionable work and general tips and tricks for everyday productivity.

Talk 2: Scalable AI - From 50 to 50K: Scaling an AI Application Under Pressure—Lessons from a High-Stakes Launch Description: Scaling an AI-powered application from 50 MVP users to 50,000 for a high-stakes go-live is a daunting challenge—especially when you only have one shot to get it right. In this talk, we’ll share our firsthand experience navigating the technical, operational, and security hurdles of scaling under pressure Topics: Scaling the Application: handling a 1,000x increase in users—from architecture and performance to real-time monitoring and optimization. DevOps: How we automated, tested, and deployed at scale while minimizing risk and ensuring reliability. Security: Security for AI application developed with AI tools. Lessons from the Front Lines: Key takeaways for teams facing high-stakes launches, including how to prepare for the unexpected and deliver under pressure. About Ricardo Leading a team of experienced engineers, with background from both startup and corporate environments to build innovative solutions for large scale events. Focusing on technical leadership and practical outcomes. Talk 3: Production Ready AI: Your Client Wants AI, Now What? Description: Every client is asking for AI now, but what do you actually do when that first request lands? This talk walks through a real project where a client asked for "automated data entry" and what we actually built: an AI pipeline that turns product images into structured listings using vision models. I'll cover how to scope AI work, what went right, what didn't (the 90% to 100% accuracy trap), and why designing for human in the loop beats promising full automation. Practical advice for web devs taking on their first AI project. About Samuel Ng Co-Founder of POPBO Net, a Hong Kong IT consultancy. 15 years building web and ecommerce products, now focused on running hands on AI enablement workshops and building AI agents that automate real business workflows.

*"Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul."* — Marcus Aurelius ​Where do you go to catch your breath when the world gets loud? During a busy daily routine—watching the blur of the commute, the glow of flashing screens, the constant hum of a fast-paced city—it is easy to feel swept up in the current. We live in a highly connected environment that asks for a lot of our daily energy. But we don’t need to run away to find peace. The true art is learning how to stay beautifully anchored right where we are. How do we remain engaged, reliable, and connected to society, while still keeping a cozy, quiet room in our minds just for our own thoughts? This Curious Souls Cafe gathering is an invitation to explore finding our "stillness in the rush." We will share how we create gentle pauses in our day, protect our attention, and savor tiny, everyday joys. Let's discuss how to give our minds a place to rest and daydream, right in the middle of a busy week. Bring your thoughts and an open mind. Let's discover how to find stillness, together. Inviting all who are... 🚂 Observing the fast pace of modern life and seeking a gentle mental breather 🧠 Eager to cultivate a cozy internal space for daydreaming, reflection, and simple comfort ⚖️ Navigating how to be an active part of society while keeping their inner peace intact 📵 Interested in stepping back from the screens to savor small, quiet moments 🤝 Believing that we grow best in community, sharing insights and inspiration ​📅 Agenda / What You'll Experience ​💬 Prompted Conversations We will use virtual question cards designed to help people playfully explore their personal habits and internal operating systems. Here are some sample questions: * What everyday task or unspoken social rule secretly drains your social battery the fastest? * ​What is one activity you do purely for the joy of it, with zero desire to be "good" or "successful" at it? * ​When you need to escape a party gracefully, what is your signature exit strategy? * What is a small, everyday space—like a cozy reading chair or a specific café corner—that instantly makes you feel at ease? From there, we’ll embark on a respectful, engaging, and meaningful conversation, celebrating the diversity of perspectives and ideas within the group. Note: This session may involve virtual question cards accessed via a link or QR code. If you do not have a device (phone/tablet) to access these, please ask a facilitator for assistance; we have spare units available. The exact format of the event may change depending on turnout according to [https://curioussouls.cafe/#how-to](https://curioussouls.cafe/#how-to) and other factors. 💬 Final Thoughts and Feedback Where time allows, in the final 10 minutes of the event, we’ll take a moment to reflect on the key insights, memorable moments, and takeaways from our discussions. This is a chance to distill the shared wisdom and leave with a deeper understanding of the topics we’ve explored together. After the event officially concludes, the group may choose to extend the session, depending on the group’s interest. Of course, you’re welcome to leave at any time that feels right for you. An anonymized summary will be shared for sessions where key insights are identified. After the meeting, our facilitators and participants may reflect on the discussion and contribute to a summary or collaborative workbook based on their notes and observations. Additionally, questions may be revisited in future sessions in an anonymized manner. To explore what our events are like, check out our official website at [https://curioussouls.cafe](https://curioussouls.cafe) 📍 Location City: Hong Kong Address: Empire Centre, 68 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui East Inside the shopping mall of Empire Centre, there is a large open area dedicated to a café. We will sit at a round table or sofa inside (near a Hang Seng ATM or 7-Eleven store). Please look for the big words "Curious Souls Café" on our table. If you take the MTR, the nearest station and exit will be East Tsim Sha Tsui Station (Exit P1). From there, you can walk to Empire Centre, which is just a few minutes away.

Welcome to [Curious Souls Café](https://curioussouls.cafe/about/)! 👋 Designed to nurture healthy curiosity and foster connections, this is a warm and friendly space for meaningful conversations. 😊 We invite you to join us for an experience filled with thought-provoking dialogue, meaningful connections, and personal growth.
