BEL Vue - Meetup Q2 April 2026
Ready to teach your Vue apps some new tricks? For our first meetup of 2026, we’re heading to the offices of [Leexi.ai](https://www.leexi.ai/en/) 💚
We’ve moved past simple components, it looks like the focus will be AI-related.
We’ve lined up two heavy hitters to show us how Vue and Nuxt are becoming the backbone of the AI era. Whether you’re building the next smart editor or trying to make AI agents actually do what they’re told, this is the place to be.
Will the AI write the code for us while we drink a beer? Probably not yet, but come find out how close we’re getting!
📅 Date: Thursday, April 23, 2026
🕓 Time: 18:00 – 21:00
📍 Location: Leexi.ai
Av. Herrmann-Debroux 2/étage 1, 1160 Auderghem, Belgique
\* Parking: There's a huge car park nearby in front of a Carrefour hypermarket ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/MrfzTTkWr8NQxCDJA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/MrfzTTkWr8NQxCDJA)).
There's also many parking places under the Auderguem Viaduc which is in front of the office.
\* Metro: Herman Debroux metro station in front of the office.
**18.00 - Doors (Food & Drinks!)**
**19.00 - Talk 1:**
**By:** [Patricio Castillo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricio-castillo-tech/) – Co\-Founder @ Prodi \| ex\-Nokia
**Title:** Crafting Intelligent Editors: Building with Nuxt, Tiptap, and LLMs
**Description:** LLMs are built on text, which means the text editor isn't going anywhere, it’s evolving.
The challenge is building a custom editor that actively collaborates with the user to append, edit, and review content in real-time.
In this talk, I’ll dive into the architecture of the interactive editor we build at Prodi. Using Nuxt and Tiptap, I’ll show how we bridged the gap between a headless editor and Large Language Models
**19.45 - Talk 2:**
**By:** [Davy Engone](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davyengone/) – AI Engineer & Founder at Hackages
**Title:** How to Build Reliable AI Agents with Vue/AI-SDK
**Description:** AI agents are easy to demo but much harder to make reliable. In this talk, Davy explores the foundations of building reliable AI agents, covering tool calling, agent loops, context management, evaluation, and human-in-the-loop design. A practical session for developers who want to move beyond prompting and better understand how real-world agent systems are built. We will use VueJS and Vercel AI SDK for Vue.
**20.15 - Networking & Knowledge sharing**
Got any cool Vue.js projects? Be sure to bring them along or let us know online!

[Afterwork Session] Speakeasy
[How to Play](https://youtu.be/xShivFRxmgE?is=PcgKoFQvcyX_M2FU)
[Gameplay](https://youtu.be/hopiSHqQ3VI?is=y39pTo-rje7spM0S)
Speakeasy will transport you to the roaring 1920s during the era of Prohibition. Manhattan was under the firm control of Lucky Luciano, a prominent mobster. To strengthen his grip on the territory, he implemented a well-structured system. He divided Manhattan into different districts, each assigned to a specific mobster responsible for handling their "business" operations.
The ultimate goal is simple: accumulate the most money and become the most successful mobster in the city. Do you have what it takes to rise to the top of the speakeasy scene and take over Manhattan during Prohibition? It's time to grab your fedora and find out in Speakeasy.

Deep Conversation - Question Chosen in Session
Welcome to our weekly event in the upstairs room of The Sister Café, rue Chair et Pain 3, one block from the Grand Place. Please get there early enough to order your drink at the bar first. Thank you!
After introductions we will collect questions from the group participants, choose one by voting then discuss it for an hour. Then most of us stay for drinks and bizarre conversations.
Past questions have been wide and not confined to academic philosophy:
What is a genuine friend?
Is social media turning us into emotional zombies?
Do we lose some of the experience of things by defining them?
Are we driven by sex?
Is loneliness a personal failure?
Is morality relative?
**Crucially, be kind and respectful and generous** in your disagreements; remember how much you personally enjoy someone else proving you wrong before celebrating your cutting counterexamples.
Meditative Mithila Painting & Mandala
Hello and welcome to the second edition of this meditative art masterclass!
Join us for a therapeutic session where we create postcards and bookmarks, and decorate them in Mithila painting style.

Silent Walk in the Forêt de Soignes
We will be walking through the forest for a little over 1 1/2 hours, silently, just noticing the world around us and inside us. The idea is to experience the magic of a different type of walking, The invitation is to slow down and notice what is going on inside you and around you.
Very often people experience a closer connection with nature and with self, with sometimes surprising insights.
*Please make sure you are fit enough to go the 4.5 km distance. We will be walking slowly, but we will not take any breaks.*
We will be meeting at the Hermann Debroux Metro at **14h**. (Exit straight ahead after leaving the platform--on the Loxam side).
If you RSVP as coming, please be on time. We will be starting our walk from there 5 min. after the hour sharp.
There is the renovated Maison de Prieur at the exit of the forest where we could gather for a drink or a meal after our walk, depending on what you feel like.
Looking forward to an inward adventure? Come and join us on **Saturday, April 25, at 14h**
My phone number is 0472 92 11 76, in case you need to communicate with me.

**A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:**
*In the three years of hosting this coffee group, I have met many people who struggle with anxieties when coming to an event for the first time. Sometimes, it took them more than one attempt before being able to join.*
*Occasionally, people reach out to me before the event, and I have always been grateful for that as it offers the opportunity to communicate with each other and to find the best and most gentle way for that person to join the group.*
*I would like to encourage everyone who struggles with this to contact me before. It would really be too bad if you can't join us, as it mostly gets better the second or third time you come.*
*In addition to that, if you arrive and notice any signs of nervousness or fear, you can always let me know right then.*
**THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL ON Saturday!**

Duty vs. Results: What Makes an Action Moral?
When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches.
* **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason.
* **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes.
## Discussion Questions
1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie.
2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?**
3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome?
4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend?
5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles?
6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way?
7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time?
8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?
What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.

Rethinking Knowledge Work in the Age of AI
We invite you to an in-person session in Seattle exploring the real impact of AI on knowledge-driven industries — from shifting economics and the disruption of traditional SaaS and consulting models to where organizations can still build lasting competitive advantage.
As AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini continue to redefine how work gets done, organizations face a critical question: how can they adapt, remain competitive, and create lasting value?
We’ll discuss practical strategies for integrating AI while preserving human expertise, along with actionable approaches to upskilling teams for an AI-driven workplace. Drawing on real-world experience from training thousands of professionals and deploying AI solutions, this session will provide clear, applicable insights for today’s evolving landscape.
Following a short presentation, the session will open into an interactive discussion where attendees can share perspectives and explore key questions around the evolving role of humans, organizational adaptation, and staying competitive in an AI-first world.
**Who should attend:**
• Executives and managers in SaaS, consulting, and knowledge-driven organizations
• Professionals exploring AI upskilling and workforce transformation
• Anyone interested in the future of AI and knowledge work
