Artificial Intelligence Applications

🦞 Cogito Ergo Creo 🦞 Third gathering of OpenClaw Bulgaria. This time — Demo Day. Less talk, more show. We're opening the floor to the community: bring what you've built, plug in, and walk us through it. Agents, local LLM setups, side projects, half-broken experiments — all welcome. The point isn't polish. The point is to see what people are actually making. 🎤 Demos — 5–10 minutes each. Show the thing, tell us what's working, what isn't, what you'd build next. 💬 Q&A — Real questions from a room of builders. 🔥 Open floor — Stick around, swap notes, find collaborators. Want to demo? Please register your presentation at https://openclaw.bg/events/ — or ping us on Discord so we can sketch out a running order. Who is this for? Developers, makers, entrepreneurs, and the simply curious. Whether you're shipping in production or just got something running for the first time — if you're building, you belong here. Language: English + Bulgarian — whatever flows naturally. 📍 Location: SOHO — HOLISTIC Room, 4 Iskar Street, Sofia 1000 (near Serdika metro) 🕐 Start: 17:00 🌐 www.openclaw.bg 💬 discord.gg/qu4gusnZd3 Recurring meetup — every first Thursday of the month (moved this month).

Покажете нещото, кажете какво работи, какво не, какво следва. 💬 Q&A — Истински въпроси от стая пълна с builders. 🔥 Open floor — Останете, обменете идеи, намерете съмишленици. Искаш да демонстрираш?

The event is free, but **prior registration is required -** [Mindset to Move - Growth, vulnerability, and the courage to change. · Luma](https://luma.com/4uo58izw) Growth rarely happens while staying in our comfort zone. In this inspiring session, Temenuzhka Zlateva will share her personal and professional journey from Development to VP Operations and the mindset shifts that helped her navigate change, embrace uncertainty, and continue growing along the way. ​Through real experiences and practical insights, the session will explore how growth, vulnerability, and the courage to move forward are deeply connected. From taking small steps without always knowing the full path ahead, to understanding why saying “I don’t know” is not a weakness, this talk is about building the confidence to keep evolving. ​We’ll also dive into the power of transferable skills, visibility, curiosity, and asking questions and how the lessons we gain professionally often help us grow personally as well. ​**What to expect:** * ​Lessons from a career journey across different roles and functions * ​Why growth starts outside the comfort zone * ​The importance of visibility, curiosity, and vulnerability * ​How transferable skills shape both career and personal development * ​A practical perspective on embracing change and continuous growth ​This is a session about developing a **mindset to move -** because growth is not about having all the answers, but about having the courage to take the next step.

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. 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.

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
