pan.talk – Wie die KI jassen lernt
pan.talk – Wie die KI jassen lernt
**Und was Unternehmen daraus über Sichtbarkeit, Kontrolle und Vertrauen in der KI-Welt lernen.** «Stöck, Wyys, Stich.» In der Schweiz weiss jeder sofort, was gespielt wird. Die grossen KI-Modelle kennen unser Kulturgut jedoch nur oberflächlich. Wo das Trainingsmaterial dünn ist, erfinden sie die Regeln mit voller Überzeugung. Dasselbe Problem hat fast jede Firma mit ihrem internen Fach- und Produktwissen. Remo Prinz zeigt, wie man durch strukturierte Daten Teil des KI-Training Korpus wird, verlässlich zitiert wird und dieses Fundament über ein autorisiertes Model Context Protocol (MCP) zu einer kontrollierten, vertrauenswürdigen Live-Quelle ausbaut. Ist es ausserdem möglich, ein Modell zu trainieren, das nicht nur perfekt jasst, sondern als geduldiger Mentor jeden Zug erklären kann? Ein Abend über Tradition, strukturierte Daten – und die Frage, wie Organisationen in der KI-Welt zur Quelle werden, der die Maschinen vertrauen.

Trust, but Sandbox
Trust, but Sandbox
**Trust, but Sandbox** Agents are becoming more autonomous, are expected to work more independently, and are being granted greater privileges. They install tools as and when they need them. And they can access all files on the system, use the browser with existing cookies, and much more. How can we allow the agent to work while still maintaining control? The talk will present three methods for isolating coding agents and compare their advantages and disadvantages. First, I’ll outline the capabilities of a local agent and the risks that come with them. In a live demo, I’ll show just how simple sandboxing can be and how great it feels to switch to ‘YOLO mode’ without a second thought and let the agent work on his tasks. Finally, we’ll take a look at some practical features that a separate environment for agents can offer. **Michael Krämer** is working in software development for over 20 year and works as a Software Architect at INNOQ. He is very commited to work out component designs with clearly defined responsibilities and to find appropriate solutions for requirements. Besides that he is engaged in Machine Learning, the integration of ML models in production environments and works as a trainer for Software Architecture.

AI and the Teams That Make It Work
AI and the Teams That Make It Work
Two complementary takes on what actually decides whether AI delivers value in an organization. One on why role-based structures are the real enabler, the other on what happens to teams when AI starts resolving the tickets. Here's what's planned for the evening: 17:30 - 18:00 - Arrival and first drinks 18:00 - 18:45 - AI Value Creation Starts Beyond Technology by Ralf Günthner 18:45 - 19:30 - When the Bot Takes the Ticket: Keeping Teams Effective as AI Rewrites the Rules by Dagmar Muth 19:30 - 20:30 - Networking, Open Space & More drinks\* **AI Value Creation Starts Beyond Technology** Many companies are currently investing heavily in AI agents, copilots, and automation, yet the expected gains in productivity and innovation often fail to materialize. The reason is rarely technological, but structural: classic hierarchical organizational models are not designed to collaborate effectively with learning, adaptive systems. This keynote explains why role-based work is the decisive enabler for successful AI adoption. In role-based organizations, responsibilities are clearly defined, decision rights are decentralized, and collaboration is dynamically organized, exactly the conditions under which AI agents can deliver maximum value. Drawing on current research (including McKinsey, MIT CISR, and Harvard Business School) and practical examples from industry, mechanical engineering, and chemicals, the keynote shows how companies can combine AI agents with role-based structures to: * drastically shorten implementation timelines * increase acceptance and trust in AI * enable continuous optimization instead of one-off pilot projects * significantly improve the ROI of AI investments The core message: AI does not transform organizations, organizations determine whether AI creates impact. Those who invest today in role-based ways of working, shared leadership, and decentralized decision logic build the operational foundation to not only introduce AI, but scale it strategically. **Ralf Günthner** Ralf Günthner is a transformation expert, entrepreneur, and lecturer with over 25 years of experience in digital transformation, AI, IoT, and organizational development. In his keynotes, he shows why AI value creation does not emerge from algorithms, platforms, or tools, but from leadership, culture, decision-making logic, and effective collaboration. He combines deep technology expertise with systems thinking, neuroscience, and hands-on transformation work. As Co-CEO of Team-Factory GmbH, he supports companies in anchoring AI strategically, creating orientation, and delivering sustainable impact, beyond hype and technology fixation. **When the Bot Takes the Ticket: Keeping Teams Effective as AI Rewrites the Rules** AI agents are starting to resolve incidents, write code, and close tickets. That's great for throughput, but what happens to the humans in the team? Motivation, ownership, skill development, and psychological safety don't disappear as team development topics just because productivity metrics go up. In this talk, Dagmar Muth draws on her work with engineering and product teams navigating AI-driven transformation. She shares what it takes to make AI integration work for the whole team: how to preserve ownership and purpose, keep accountability clear, and build the patterns that distinguish teams that thrive from those that merely adapt. You'll leave with a clear mental model for thinking about team health in AI-augmented setups and concrete questions to bring back to your own team or organization. **Dagmar Muth** Dagmar Muth is a systemic organizational developer and agile coach with 20 years of experience guiding teams and companies through transformation. As a co-worker of pragmatic solutions ag in Zürich, she supports organizations in finding the right setup, processes, and culture to sustain performance from vision to go-live, increasingly in contexts shaped by AI. She works with cross-functional tech and product teams, coaches leaders, and lectures on agile project management at SIB. Her particular focus right now: how organizations integrate AI without losing what makes their teams actually work.

Zielstrebig zur Schweizerischen Antwort auf Miro mit Collaboard
Zielstrebig zur Schweizerischen Antwort auf Miro mit Collaboard
**In diesem Beitrag schildert der Collaboard-Geschäftsführer Michael Görög die Aufholjagd seines kleinen Teams gegen etablierte internationale Wettbewerber, die teils Jahre Vorsprung hatten. Und wie daraus eine starke, souveräne und sichere Alternative zu Mural und Miro wird, die beim Gebrauch auch noch Spass macht.** Collaboard begann mit dem Aufstieg agiler Arbeitsformen und aus dem Wunsch, interaktiv an elektronische Whiteboards zu arbeiten. Der ursprüngliche Fokus lag daher auf einer Whiteboard-Software für interaktive Displays, um Meetings und Workshops im physischen Raum digitaler und interaktiver zu gestalten. Aber mit der Pandemie veränderte der Markt sich radikal. Über Nacht brach der ursprüngliche Product-Market-Fit von Collaboard in sich zusammen: Statt digital unterstützter Zusammenarbeit im gemeinsamen Büro oder Sitzungszimmer war jetzt Remote-Work angesagt. Das Collaboard-Team stand damit vor der radikalen Herausforderung, innert kürzester Zeit aus der elektronischen Whiteboard-Software ein digitales Whiteboard für Remote-Zusammenarbeit zu entwickeln. ••• [Michael Görög](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-gorog/) ist Co-Founder von [Collaboard](https://www.collaboard.app), einer in der Schweiz entwickelten Online-Whiteboard-Lösung für visuelle Zusammenarbeit. Mit über 16 Jahren Erfahrung in der Softwarebranche treibt er Innovationen im Bereich visueller Teamarbeit voran. Sein besonderer Fokus liegt dabei auf Sicherheit, Datenschutz und dem Einsatz moderner Technologien wie KI.

ZH3 Hash # 1737: As yet unnamed (Social Running/Walking/Drinking)
Hares (someone to set the route) are NewBalls, SNOBalls, and All Hips Matter. Come join us! **Where**: See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **All Welcome:** If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further. • The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time. • There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change. • **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.* We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

"Tusk Love" by Thea Guanzon
"Tusk Love" by Thea Guanzon
Come join us to discuss our July pick "Tusk Love" by Thea Guanzon! Book description: A merchant’s daughter who yearns for adventure gets more than she bargained for when she falls for a broodingly handsome stranger in this saucy romantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars. “A true delight of a book! Spicy and heartfelt—this one is a winner all around.”—Katee Robert, author of Neon Gods As the daughter of an ambitious merchant, Guinevere’s path has been predetermined: marry into a noble house of the Dwendalian Empire, raise her family’s station, and live quietly as a lordling’s obedient wife. But Guinevere longs for a life unbounded by expectations, for freedom and passion and adventure. Those distant dreams become a sudden reality when her caravan is beset by bandits, leaving her guards slain and Guinevere stranded alone on the dangerous Amber Road. Her only chance of survival is to travel alongside Oskar, the aloof half-orc who saved her during the attack. Unlike Guinevere, Oskar’s path is not so set in stone. With his mother dead and his apprenticeship abandoned, all that’s left is a long, lonely walk to a land he’s never seen to find family he’s never met. The last thing he needs is a spoiled waif like Guinevere slowing him down—even if the spark between them sizzles with promise. Despite his cold exterior, Oskar is brave and thoughtful and unlike anyone Guinevere has ever met. And while Guinevere may be sheltered, she brings out a softness in him that he has never dared to feel before. As the flames of their passion grow, they realize that soon they’ll need to choose between their expected destinations or their blossoming romance. Written by New York Times bestselling author Thea Guanzon at the behest of Critical Role’s Jester Lavorre, Tusk Love brings the most romantic story on Exandrian bookshelves to life.

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
