Nella sede di **Radical HR**, **Matteo Fratesi** (CTO di Radical HR) e **Mario Carcota** (Lead Full Stack Engineer di Radical HR) ci racconteranno come hanno domato i superpoteri di AWS Bedrock e sono riusciti a incanalarli all'interno di un SaaS B2B; mentre **Andrea Saltarello** (founder di [Improove](https://www.improove.tech/)) ci spiegherà come puo essere l'ingrediente perfetto della ricetta per Retrieval-Augmented Generation.

In questo talk vi porteremo alla scoperta di **come si costruisce un AI Agent all’interno di un SaaS B2B** come Skillsincloud, il nostro LMS proprietario che viene utilizzato da +100k utenti. Analizzeremo l’integrazione dei modelli di **AWS Bedrock** all'interno della nostra infrastruttura esistente, affrontando le vere sfide di produzione: * **Oltre la Chat**: Orchestrare il "Tool Use" per permettere all'AI di interagire con il database e non solo di conversare. * **Sicurezza:** Pattern di design per il controllo dei permessi (RBAC) e flussi di conferma "Human-in-the-loop" per prevenire azioni non autorizzate. * **Knowledge Base**: Strategie di RAG per rendere l'agente consapevole del contesto multi-tenant Uno sguardo pratico sull'architettura che stiamo adottando per portare l'AI generativa nel cuore dei processi della piattaforma. **Real world Retrieval-Augmented Generation** **Andrea Saltarello -** Founder di Improove Dalla ricerca vettoriale con Aurora PostgreSQL ai modelli LLM e di embedding con Amazon Bedrock (e suburbia), AWS mette a disposizione tutti gli ingredienti necessari per implementare Retrieval-Augmented Generation: a fare la differenza, però, è la ricetta, a partire dall'arricchimento dei metadati. In questo talk, vedremo l'implementazione di uno scenario reale. \-\-\- **CALL4SPEAKER**: vorresti presentare un tuo speech ai prossimi Meetup?

Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

Sei un remote worker? Uno studente? Un freelance? Ti serve un luogo calmo dove lavorare senza distrazioni, senza pressione, e allo stesso tempo socializzare? Remote Circle è una routine di lavoro condivisa e silenziosa. L’atmosfera è essenziale: tavoli condivisi, ritmo lento, concentrazione naturale. Si lavora in autonomia, ma non da soli. Rimani il tempo che ti serve: l’incontro è flessibile, discreto, operativo. Remote Circle non è un workshop e non è coworking. È un appuntamento leggero, replicabile, pensato per creare continuità senza esposizione.

[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“The Secrets of Runes,”** on the origins, development, and interpretation of the runic script, with Lilla Kopár, runologist and a professor of medieval literature and culture at Catholic University. [Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-rune-secrets](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-rune-secrets) .] The fame of runes outshines that of any other ancient script. They can be found not just on Viking Age rune stones, but on Bilbo’s door and as the Bluetooth logo on your cell phone. Runic script is commonly associated with magic, used by modern practitioners of neopaganism, and in recent decades has captured the imagination of filmmakers and video game designers. Yet most of us know little about the historical origins of runes and have no clue how to read or use them. Come to Crooked Run Fermentation in Sterling, Va., to get schooled on runic script with the help of Lilla Kopár, a veteran scholar of runes who has earned a following among Profs and Pints fans by giving fantastic talks on medieval monsters and Norse mythology. As someone who has carried out extensive field research on runes, published several articles on runic objects, and even appeared on the History Channel commenting on runes in America, she’s exceptionally qualified to introduce you to runology and the fascinating things that runes tell us. Dr Kopár will discuss the development of runic script from its humble origins on the borders of the Roman Empire in the first or second century CE, through its popularity in the Viking world, to its use and misuse in modern times. She’ll discuss how runes are a set of related alphabets that underwent changes over time and she’ll describe what inspired changes in this writing system and where and how runes were used in the medieval period. Her richly illustrated talk will highlight some of the most intriguing objects with runic inscriptions, from humble bone fragments to impressive rune stones, and offer insight into the scholarly methods of deciphering and interpreting runic inscriptions. We’ll also look at the function of the runic script from simple practical notes and memorial inscriptions to cipher-runes and magic. The most fun might be the in-class assignment, which will involve reading a few runic inscriptions and writing your name and other words in runes. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later.) Image: Part of Codex runicus, a rune manuscript written on animal skin and dating to about 1300 (University of Copenhagen / Wikimedia Commons).

This existensive 2 and a half hour workshop will give you a real viable working knowledge of vedic palm reading and it's practical application. The instructor Darren Bucare has been formally trained in Ayurvedic Palmistry and has 26 years of professional experience. Amaze your friends!

[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“A Practical Guide to Social Change,”** a research-based look at how communities bring about reform and progress, with Marissa Robinson, founder of Real Health Impact LLC and an adjunct professor at George Washington University who teaches courses focused on public health leadership and social change. [Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-social-change](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-social-change) .] Systems built on inequality rarely transform without deliberate pressure from the people most committed to justice, because progress takes coordination, conviction and willingness to change what has always been accepted. Real change starts when people choose to move together. Learn what research and experience say about how to make real social progress with Dr. Marissa Robinson, a public health practitioner who previously worked in federal agencies coordinating global and national public health initiatives focused on infectious diseases, HIV, and health equity. Among the key questions she’ll tackle: How do communities overcome barriers to create real change? When should evidence guide decisions and when does context matter more? She’ll discuss established frameworks for moving from intention to measurable progress and talk about the importance of building coalitions that actually work and of making decisions grounded in real data. You’ll learn about the importance of testing ideas on a small scale before going big, as well as how to use rapid feedback loops and continuous improvement cycles to refine approaches and scale what truly works. Dr. Robinson will share stories of ordinary people and communities who refused to accept the status quo and pushed through real barriers to achieve breakthrough results. She’ll talk about practical strategies, usable frameworks, and evidence-based examples that people can apply immediately in their own communities and organizations to support change that lasts. If you have dreamed about bringing about progress in your world, this talk will give you the clarity, direction, and confidence it takes to turn such dreams into reality.
