Learning Czech can be hard and demotivating, especially when studying alone. **This meetup is a shared study session where we come together to stay focused, motivated, and make progress — each in our own way.** This is a co-learning / co-studying session, not a class. There is no teacher, no lesson, and no study material provided. Everyone comes with their own resources and studies independently, in a shared environment. 🧠 **How it works** • We all bring our own material: • textbooks • homework from a Czech course • Duolingo or other apps • reading practice • vocabulary review, etc. • We mainly work individually • We are free to: • ask questions • help each other • share tips and resources • No teacher, no formal structure, no pressure 👥 **Who is it for?** • Czech learners of all levels • Non-Czech speakers (expats, internationals) • Czech native speakers are welcome if they want to help, but this is not a language exchange ⏱ **Practical info** • Location: Cafedu 12, Škrétova 490, 120 00 Praha 2 (Metro A and C, Muzeum station) • Duration: 2 hours, or less or more, as you want • Day & time: Monday, 18:00 • Group size: small group for now • Free event — please support the café by ordering a drink ☕ If you’re learning Czech and lack motivation when studying alone, come join us — let’s find it together 🙂

Join us for another AI Transformers Prague meetup — a community for leaders, innovators, and practitioners who want to turn AI from buzzword into real business impact. Org charts are melting. And nobody's talking about it enough. In AI-native companies, a three-person team ships what used to take thirty. Job titles blur into capability stacks. The manager's role is being quietly rewritten by agents that plan, draft, and execute alongside humans. The pyramid isn't just flattening — it's cracking at the foundation. This meetup brings together people building inside this shift to compare notes on what's actually working. No futurism. No hype. Just honest stories from the ground. \*\*\* 🧭 Theme: Org Charts Are Melting — How AI-Native Teams Actually Work We'll explore questions like: \* What new roles are emerging — and which ones are quietly disappearing? \* How do decisions flow when half your "team" is non-human? \* What does operating leverage of 10x per person actually look like in practice? \* How do you manage, hire, and lead when agents are doing the executing? \* What organizational models are winning right now — and why? \*\*\* 🎙 Speakers Three practitioners building inside AI-native organizations — each bringing a different vantage point on what the new operating model really looks like: \* [Petr Zatloukal](https://www.linkedin.com/in/petrzatloukal/) – Co-Founder and Career Driver at Alviso \* [Markéta Dlouhá](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marketaconka/) – , Agile Delivery and AI Community LeadDr. Max \*[ Senta Čermáková ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sentacermakova/)– Board Member and Director of International Operations of Czechitas [Michal Ličko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michallicko/) – CEO @ Visionvolve \| AI Transformation Leader \*\*\* 🎤 Format 3 lightning talks followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A focused on what's happening on the ground right now, not theory. \*\*\* 📋 Agenda 17:30 – Doors open & networking 18:00 – Welcome & intro 18:00–19:00 – 3× Lightning talks 19:00–19:30 – Panel discussion & Q&A 19:30 onwards – Networking & informal conversations \*\*\* 👥 Who Is This For? \* Founders & startup leaders rethinking how their teams are structured \* Product managers & engineering leads working with AI agents \* Corporate innovators navigating organizational change \* People managers figuring out what leadership looks like with AI in the loop \* HR & org design professionals \* Anyone curious about how the best AI-native teams actually operate Whether you're already running AI-augmented teams or just starting to feel the pressure to change, this session will give you honest, practical insight into what's working — and what isn't. \*\*\* 📍 Practical Info Date: June, 25 Time: 17:30–20:00 Location: \|Dr\.

# ### Hosted by Ataccama // Karlín, Prague 8 *** **Agent-Driven Meetup Prague: Build Like a POD — Simulating the AI-Native Development Team** *** ## Short Description Your org chart is killing your agents. Join us to run a live simulation of POD-based teams making decisions with AI agents — not talking about it. *** ## Full Description *** ### This Is Agent-Driven Meetup Prague. If you've been here before, you know what this is: no bullshit theory, no vendor pitches, no "AI is going to change everything" presentations. We build things, we break things, we figure out what actually works when you put agents into production in real organizations. This edition goes one level up from the code. Not how to build agents — how to build the teams that operate them. Because here's the thing nobody is saying out loud at these meetups: **the agents are fine. The organizational structure around them is broken.** *** ### The Real Problem We Keep Not Solving Every team at every meetup we've run is using agents the same way. One developer has a Claude window open. Another has Cursor. Someone on Slack posted a prompt they found useful. There's no shared context, no shared role assignment, no way for the agents to be collectively accountable to the team's actual goals. You're running 21st-century AI on a 20th-century org chart. The org chart was designed for predictable, repeatable, decomposable work — industrial-era assumptions baked into every hierarchy, every feature team, every sprint board. It doesn't know what to do with agents because agents aren't tasks. They're capable entities. They need roles. They need context. They need to fit into a structure that was designed to hold them. Dave Gray figured this out in 2012, before agents existed. He called it the **Connected Company**. The core unit is a **POD** — a small, autonomous, cross-functional team with everything it needs to serve its customer independently, connecting to other PODs through explicit interfaces rather than management layers. *** ### What Actually Happens at This Meetup You walk in. You get assigned to a POD. Each POD is a cross-functional unit inside **NovaTech** — a fictional (but uncomfortably familiar) Czech B2B SaaS company that is mid-transformation from a traditional hierarchy into a connected, POD-based structure. Product PODs. Revenue PODs. Infrastructure PODs. Customer Success PODs. Each with a challenge scoped to their function. **The company faces one decision: should NovaTech launch in Germany in Q3?** No POD has the full picture. The Product POD knows what the roadmap costs. The Revenue POD has deals on the table. The Infrastructure POD has a data residency timeline. The Customer Success POD knows what they can't support. The decision is genuinely hard. The PODs have to figure it out together — without a manager breaking the tie. **Your POD gets an AI agent.** Not a tool. A team member with a role you define, a name you give it, a brief you write. Research Analyst. Technical Due Diligence Analyst. Revenue Strategist. You decide. You brief it. You work with what it gives you. **You have 45 minutes.** Then all PODs assemble for the **Company Council** — the Connected Company's answer to a board meeting, except there's no board. Just PODs, with their recommendations, their conflicts, and the requirement to reach a collective position without anyone having authority to overrule anyone else. That part is the hard part. It's supposed to be. Afterwards, we debrief. What did the POD structure change about how you worked? What did you do with your agent that you hadn't done before? Where did the Company Council break down — and why? These aren't hypothetical questions after this exercise. They're questions you just lived the answer to. *** ### Why This Is the Right Conversation for This Community We've spent the last several meetups on the technical layer: orchestration, multi-agent coordination, memory and context management, governance patterns. We've built real things and learned real things. But the people at these meetups go back to teams that are still organized the same way they were before agents existed. The technical knowledge doesn't transfer because there's nowhere for it to land. You know how to build a multi-agent pipeline. Your team has no structure to deploy it into. **POD architecture is the landing pad.** When your team is a POD — with a defined customer, a defined purpose, local decision-making authority, and explicit interfaces to other PODs — the question "where does the agent fit?" has an actual answer. The agent has a role. The role has a brief. The brief has a deliverable. The deliverable has a place in the POD's output to its customers. This is not complicated. But it requires the organizational structure to exist first. This meetup builds that structure — in a simulation — so you can feel what it's like before you try to convince your organization to actually do it. *** ### What You'll Take Away * Direct, embodied experience of what POD autonomy feels like versus feature-team execution — the difference is not subtle * A working model for how to assign AI agents functional roles within a team structure, not just task roles within a conversation * Concrete intuition for where inter-POD coordination fails and why that failure mode is the hardest problem in connected organization design * The specific insight that agent architecture and organization architecture are the same problem — you can't solve one without the other *** ### Who This Is For Everyone who has been to Agent-Driven Meetup before and wants to understand why the agent knowledge isn't transferring into their actual team. Everyone who hasn't been to Agent-Driven Meetup before but works on a development team that is trying to figure out how to actually integrate AI into how they work — not just into individual workflows. Tech leads. Engineering managers. Developers with opinions about team structure. CTOs at companies that are rethinking how they organize. Product people who want to understand why their developers relate to agents so individually when the problem is collective. You do not need to have read *The Connected Company*. You need to be willing to be uncomfortable in a simulation with strangers for 45 minutes. That's it. *** ### Schedule | Time | | | ---- | --- | | 18:00 | Doors, drinks, talking to people you don't know yet | | 18:30 | Opening frame: POD architecture in 20 minutes, agents as team members | | 18:50 | POD assignment, briefing, agent naming | | 19:00 | **POD Work Session** — 45 minutes live | | 19:45 | **Company Council** — all PODs, one decision, no manager | | 20:15 | Structured debrief | | 20:45 | Open floor, Q&A, networking | | 21:30 | End | *** ### Location **Ataccama** Sokolovská 685/136f, Karlín, Prague 8 Metro: Invalidovna (line B), 5 min walk. Tram: Urxova. Ataccama builds enterprise data trust platforms and has been doing it from Karlín since 2007. They know what it means to scale a software organization. We're grateful they're hosting. *** ### Capacity **40 people maximum.** This is not a meetup you can attend passively. The simulation requires real PODs of 5–7 people. Above 40, the Company Council stops working. Register early or don't register. *** ### Bring * A laptop (one per POD minimum, two is better) * Your actual opinions about how teams should be organized — you will use them * Optional and appreciated: skim *The Connected Company* by Dave Gray before you come. The summary is enough. *** *Agent-Driven Meetup Prague is the leading technical AI community in Central Europe focused on production-grade agent systems, organizational AI integration, and the engineering disciplines required to govern both. We meet, we build, we figure out what actually works.* *Organizer: Jakub Bareš — [bares.jakub@gmail.com](mailto:bares.jakub@gmail.com)*

**Cloud Native Night Munich** AI agents are rapidly evolving from simple assistants into autonomous systems capable of reasoning, maintaining context, and interacting with complex environments. In this meetup, we’ll explore two practical applications of modern agentic AI in software engineering. The first talk dives into building stateful AI agents that work with real-time data, covering the architectural patterns and challenges behind creating responsive, context-aware systems. The second talk showcases how agentic AI can be applied to understanding and analysing complex legacy applications — helping uncover program flows, dependencies, and hidden system knowledge that would otherwise take countless hours to explore manually. Whether you’re building AI-powered applications, modernising enterprise systems, or simply curious about the future of intelligent software, this meetup offers hands-on insights into how AI agents are transforming the way we interact with technology THIS MEETUP WILL BE HYBRID. **\|** Zoom Link will be available shortly before the meetup \*\*\* AGENDA \*\*\* * 6\.30 PM \| Doors open\. Grab some snacks & drinks\. * 7\.00 PM \| Welcome & Intro – **Start of hybrid meetup** * 7\.15 PM \| **Building Stateful AI Agents with Real-Time Data**, Gregor Bauer (VP Customer Engineering at CrateDB) * \~8:15 PM \| **Hosty - The next level with Agentic AI,** Martin Binder (Lead IT Consultant at QAware) * afterwards: More snacks & drinks, and a lot of time for networking with all attendees and speakers. \*\*\* ABSTRACTS \*\*\* **Building Stateful AI Agents with Real-Time Data**, Gregor Bauer (VP Customer Engineering at CrateDB) Most AI demos are stateless. Real systems are not. Modern AI applications increasingly depend on continuously changing operational data: events, metrics, logs, transactions, sensor streams, and user activity. This creates a new architectural challenge: how do we build AI agents that can reason over live data while remaining scalable and observable ? This talk explores the architecture of stateful AI systems and agentic applications. We will cover: * streaming-first AI architectures * real-time context enrichment * combining vector search with structured queries * memory layers for AI agents * latency and scalability considerations * operational lessons from large-scale data platforms The session provides practical guidance for engineers designing production-ready AI platforms. **Hosty - The next level with Agentic AI,** Martin Binder (Lead IT Consultant at QAware) To migrate legacy systems, you need to understand these IT dinosaurs, at least partially. So code analysis up to a certain level is unavoidable. What used to take months, sometimes years without LLMs is now doable in a few days with Gemini and friends. And yet: you still have to drive the analysis yourself, stitch the LLM's partial results into a coherent picture and fight the context window. With old source files thousands of lines long, that part really hurt. Agentic AIs like Claude Code are not just another AI feature. They change how you approach unfamiliar systems — fast, and without the headaches that LLM chat workflows used to come with. Teaser: an analysis that took us a few days under "yay!" cheers is now done in minutes. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Please comply with our [Code of Conduct](https://www.greenmanifesto.de/en/code-of-conduct).

Welcome! Our Prague event is a melting pot of cultures where Czech beer meets global chatter. [[Click this whatsapp groupchat link to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/COaDT779p9EEZDtVxb3ukg)] Every Saturday at 7:30 PM, locals, travelers, and expats (mostly in their 20s–30s) gather for fun and language exchange. Whether you're fluent or just learning "hello," you’re invited. It’s casual, cool, and genuinely Prague.

If your days are a blur of digital meetings, and you feel that spark of true collaboration is fading, you're not alone! Join us for this meetup to learn how to push back against it. Here’s a promise: In this meetup, you will experience what real collaboration with real human beings in 3D feels like. But not only that! You will learn: * Why people come up with better ideas and remember more when they’re in workshops without screens * How to use post-its and flipcharts to max their advantage against virtual whiteboards * How to smoothly bring outputs from your analog meetings into the digital world All that will be supported by real experience running real workshops (both analog and digital) in MSD and beyond. **About the Speaker** Lukas is Design Thinking Architect in MSD. He has been in the arena of Public Speaking since 2012 and running Design Thinking and other workshops since 2020. Currently, Lukas is leading an internal Facilitator Community in MSD that counts more than 600 members.

If you prefer not to be photographed or recorded, please let an organizer know when you arrive and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

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.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
