PyData Prague #23 - Low agent intelligence threat

Hello Python lovers and data wizards!

The 23rd Prague PyData meetup will take place at Rapid 7 (Scott Weber office in Pernerova street). As usual, the talks will start at 18:30 but we encourage you to come as soon as 18:00 to enjoy the opportunity to socialise and refresh yourselves (which you can continue doing during the break and after the talks).

Our main goal is to build the community around Python and data and make it welcoming to people of various skills and experience levels.

⚡ If you are interested in giving a lightning talk (up to 5 minutes to present an idea, tool or results related at least to some degree to Python and/or data), please contact us before or during the event.

📢 Multi-Agent Frameworks: Teaming Up Specialized AI Models to Tackle Complex Tasks
Šimon Podhajský (Pure Storage)

What if we could assign different aspects of a problem to AI models that specialize in those areas, much like delegating tasks to skilled team members? Multi-agent systems (MAS) are enabling this kind of collaboration among computer programs. In this session, we'll introduce you to LangGraph, Autogen, and Langroid—three leading frameworks that organize AI models into teams of specialists. We'll explore how each tool structures these teams, manages communication, and measures performance, helping you choose the right solution for various projects.

📢 Low-Tech ETL
Martin Votruba (Rapid 7)

Is it possible to use git as a database? Yes, we do that. It's both awesome and terrible. What other weird choices have we made on our way? Come and listen to our story of discovering the most accessible, low-tech approach to building ETL pipelines in a large organization. Along the way, we've made unconventional choices—some brilliant, others with unexpected trade-offs but all in the name of keeping things intuitive and manageable for our diverse teams. Join us to learn about our journey, the lessons we've learned, and the tools we've found to be surprisingly effective.

📢 Peek into Threat Intelligence
Dominique Alexander Piatti (Rapid 7)

Have you ever wondered what secrets the internet hides? In just 15 minutes, I'll take you on a journey through the world of data scraping—from the Darknet to data leaks and beyond. Discover how our specialised team of analysts gathers critical intelligence on hacks and ransomware activities. We've employed unconventional methods to extract valuable insights using Python, making bold choices that have led to both brilliant outcomes and unexpected trade-offs. How do we navigate complex sites with CAPTCHA solvers and ensure everything remains intuitive for our analysts? Join me to uncover the challenges and innovations behind our data scraping journey, and learn how we turn chaos into actionable intelligence.
