#39 Prague: 5 Levels of AI Adoption. Which One Are You On? Prove it.
We give you a full **explanation of the KPI Framework.**
> Do You **Measure** the Most Valuable KPIs? Red/Amber/Green Thresholds for Each of Your Levels Explained.
## Situation
You burn $$$ on AI tokens. You run hackatons. Git repo full of AI pilots.
You're spending more on AI than last year.
Yet, you can't shake the feeling that you're paying faster than you're shipping.
> 📣 We give you the manual to pick the top KPIs that demonstrate the value, based on the context of how far you are in AI adoption.
3 CTOs share where they actually are on the AI adoption ladder, what worked, what they'd undo, and what comes next.
✅ The 3 KPIs you should actually be tracking at each level. And the ones to stop tracking.
The 5 levels of AI adoption, mapped from engineering orgs.
**1️⃣ L1: Nothing in production.** How to leave it without burning two quarters on pilots.
**2️⃣ L2: Talent:** upskilling, reskilling and firing.
**3️⃣ L3: Proof:** When the cost curve overtakes the delivery curve, and how to calculate AI efficiency proof?
**4️⃣ L4: Going AI-native:** What concretely changes when AI moves from IDEs into production.
**5️⃣ L5: You've won** the AI race. Where's the new edge in 2027?
Bring your situation. By the end you'll know which level you're on, what is your KPI, what your next move is, and what to stop doing this quarter.
No hype, no AI gospel. Two practitioners, real experience, with answers.
***
20-minute lightning talks + Q&A followed by legendary networking!
***

## What makes our meetups different:
* **Action-oriented:** Every talk includes takeaway guides/frameworks you can photograph or access via QR code
* **Case study focused:** Real implementations, real results, real failures
* **Interactive:** Audience Q&A with people who've actually done this
* **Practical:** Skip the vendor pitches—hear from practitioners
***
> Perfect for engineering leaders tired of AI marketing fluff who want practical insights.
So...What is AI actually? A peek into science of AI (for ladies).
What is a better way to start our learning journey together than by understanding what AI actually is?
[You are welcome to join ](https://www.meetup.com/ai-learning-community-for-women-in-czechia-fem-ai-lab/events/314515448/?eventOrigin=group_upcoming_events)[whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/I7NWogBfHRRCayjHRjrodb?mode=gi_t) to stay in touch. 💜
We hear about AI everywhere, in the news, at work, from our kids, on social media. Yet most of us would struggle to explain what it actually is. And that's completely normal, nobody properly explained it!
So let's fix that. 😄
**Is face recognition AI? Is a driverless metro train AI? Can you guess?** 🤔
Come ready to reason, debate and maybe be surprised by your own answers.
In this session we'll dive into:
🧠 **What AI actually is** — and what it isn't
**How AI learns** — and how math based algorithms can adapt to an ever changing world
🔍 **How to spot AI in your everyday life**
🌍 **The kinds of AI that exist**
📖 **The history of AI** — how we got here and why right now is different from anything before
⚡ **What makes this the Age of AI**
By the end of this session you will feel more confident talking about AI, what it is, how it works and why everyone is so excited and nervous about it at the same time.
No tech background needed. Just curiosity and an open mind. 🌸
See you there!

[Open] Happiness Hacks vs Evidence with Ángel V. Jiménez
**Please note that this event is not for free and we have limited spots! Save yours by signing up [here](https://locusworkspace.com/events/2026/06/17/happiness-hacks-vs-evidence/)!**
**🧠What You'll Learn**
“How can I be happier?” is a question we all ask ourselves at different points in life.
Many “hacks” have been proposed to answer it:
– Think positively
– Practice gratitude
– Meditate
– Exercise more
– Socialise more
– Help others
– Reduce screen time
– Stop comparing yourself to others
– Act happy
But how strong is the evidence behind these recommendations? And do they work equally well for everyone?
In this workshop, we will critically explore the psychological science of well-being and learn how to design simple personal experiments to discover what genuinely helps you.
**🎤About the Speaker**
**Ángel V. Jiménez** is passionate about intentional living, scientific psychology, and the evolutionary study of human behaviour.
He holds a PhD in Evolutionary Social Psychology from the University of Exeter, where he studied status acquisition and interpersonal influence, with a particular focus on prestige and social learning.

🤖 Research Tuesday Friday Special: Jak nám AI mění výzkum pod rukama?
AKCE JEN PRO ZVANÉ
🤖 Ahoj, v rámci setkávání Research Tuesday jsme naplánovaly Friday special. Cítíme už nějakou dobu, že naše researchová komunita má potřebu sdílet, co nového nám do práce přinesla umělá inteligence, jak nám mění výzkum pod rukama. Chceme si povídat, chceme si navzájem sdílet, chceme vytvořit mapu, kam si zaneseme, v jakých fázích výzkumu a jakým způsobem používáme AI a co nám funguje dobře a co až tolik ne.
Pracovat a sdílet se bude převážně v menších skupinkách a výstup se na konci odprezentuje ostatním. Mapu pak pravděpodobně dáme k dispozici komunitě.
Pátek 19. června 9 - 12 do Slevomatu v pražském Karlíně. Setkání se koná pouze offline, a kapacita je omezená na 30 pozvaných.
Žádná velká příprava netřeba, jen teď dávej víc pozor, kdy a jak v rámci výzkumného workflow používáš AI a jak ti to funguje, ať se o to můžeš podělit s ostatními.
**🕒 Agenda:**
* **08:30 AM** – Otevření dveří & ranní networking
* **9:00 AM** Workshop
* **12:00 PM** – Závěr & možný společný oběd
**🧸 Hlídání dětí na vyžádání:**
Research Tuesday stavíme na tom, že profesní rozvoj má být přístupný všem. Chceme podpořit i rodiče malých dětí, aby mohli zůstat v kontaktu s oborem a potkávat se bez zbytečných překážek.
**Máte zájem o hlídání?** Rádi ho na místě zajistíme, ale potřebujeme vědět, jestli o něj bude zájem.
Dejte nám vědět v komentářích nejpozději do pondělí 15.6. do 8:00, jestli službu využijete a pro kolik dětí. Podle toho rozhodneme, jestli ji zajistíme.

Where will we work in the age of AI?
## **What IdeaVerse is about**
**We meet usually once a month to discuss some of the current challenges as well and perhaps come up with new ideas on how to overcome them. The format of the meeting includes an initial sharing of viewpoints by each participant without judgment, and in the second half we will discuss our ideas and try to find things to learn from each other.**
**In this next meeting we'll be discussing...**
the future of work in the age of AI. I know, people are talking too much about this already in tech meetups where they just praise it to Kingdom Come. We're tired of it. But whether we like that it exists or not, we are confronted with a choice that I'd like us to discuss: **Do I lean into AI like I'm told I HAVE TO, or choose a different path, one more into physical labor or working with people? Or do I just say goodbye to work and start my own business?**
We hear thhat AI is going to replace a large number of jobs, starting with call centers, Uber drivers, writers, graphic designers, translators, etc. That a senior expert will replace 4 others in his team using AI. That the only jobs that will remain are those which require human touch like holding meetings, talking face to face with customers, jobs that require empathy or jobs that require dexterity like plumbing.
**But the path forward seems so unclear:**
1\. Who should learn AI: young people who want to compete with seniors\, or seniors because juniors don't know enough to spot errors?
2\. Should I double down on AI courses and certificates or jump a sinking ship and learn a craft or improve my social work skills? Or start my own business to escape irrelevance at work?
3\. Do we go with the flow and adapt to this rapid overwhelming change\, or demand from policy makers that they do not let companies do as they please if that means lower wages and unemployment at scale?
**Some suggested reading/watching:**
* [If AI Takes All Of Our Jobs... Who's Going To Buy Everything?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYB0SVTGRj4) (the answer may shock you! :) - a 12 minute video) - good summary of the most likely future scenarios for automation and economics. Does not answer our questions but sets the scene for it.
* [AI Experts: These Are The Only 5 Jobs That Will Remain in 2030!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCjmK66x_Yk) (15 minute video) - a collage of various human and AI experts discussing options for work in the future (mostly from the famous DOAC).
* [The Future of Jobs Report 2025](https://www.weforum.org/publications/the-future-of-jobs-report-2025/in-full/3-skills-outlook/) (40 minute read) - lots of data, may need skimming but highly useful insight into projections for which jobs will be useful in the future.
**The meeting is free to attend, but please buy a drink or two at our patron's place, to make them happy. They also have food in case you find the meeting too early (see [menu](https://altangrebovka.choiceqr.com/section:kavarna---jidelni-listek)).**
June 2026 DevOps Meetup
Talk 1
**Title: The Platform Is the People: SLAs, DORA and Trust at Billions of Requests a Month**
By: Harry Bouras
Role / LinkedIn: AI & Cloud Engineering leader, formerly heading the API organisation of a leading, extremely global and multicultural corporation. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/harry-bouras/
Abstract:
Most "platform" talks are about tools. This one isn't. Heading the API organisation of a leading, extremely global and multicultural corporation, interconnecting decades of legacy systems while serving billions of requests a month and scaling across both Azure and Google Cloud, taught me a contrarian lesson the hard way: at that volume, platforms don't fail on technology, and cloud bills don't explode because of bad Terraform. They fail, or succeed, on how the organisation is set up to own, deliver and grow the thing. The org chart is the real architecture.
I'll walk through the levers that actually moved the needle, each anchored in real moments from that scale. How SLAs, framed as clarity rather than punishment, change engineer behaviour more than any dashboard. Why extending trust and time to a team up front - the most uncomfortable thing a leader can do, is precisely what raises build quality and cuts the rework you can't afford at billions of requests. What genuinely changed when we dragged a waterfall-shaped organisation toward iterative, Scrum-based delivery, and why that was about shortening feedback loops, not adding ceremonies. And how DORA metrics became our objective answer to a question every team argues about: what actually makes a successful Senior Software Engineer and what a DevOps engineer?
Then the human core, told honestly, which means told as comedy. What makes a good manager in this world, narrated through the things I was certain about and was completely wrong about. The running joke is also the real point: nearly every instinct that made me a good engineer made me a mediocre manager until I unlearned it.
Finally, a look at what we're all about to get wrong together: AI is forcing DevOps to grow up into DevSecOps - and the teams that handle it well will be the ones that already have the ownership, trust and growth culture this talk is really about.
Talk 2
**Postmortem Culture: Turning Failures into Learning, Not Blame**
By: Dani Yelovitch
Most engineering teams treat incidents as embarrassments to bury — a quick fix, a vague Slack message, and everyone moves on. This talk argues for a different approach: treating every failure as a gift.
The core idea is blameless postmortems — a practice pioneered at Google and Netflix where the goal isn't to find a scapegoat, but to understand how the system (people, tools, processes) allowed a failure to happen in the first place. If a human made a mistake, the real question is: why did the system make that mistake easy to make?
The talk would cover:
What a good postmortem looks like (and the common ways they go wrong)
How to run a blameless review without it becoming a blame-by-committee session
Turning action items into actual change, not a graveyard doc nobody reads
Building psychological safety so engineers report problems early instead of hiding them
The key takeaway: teams that learn from failure faster than their competitors ship better software with fewer catastrophic incidents — not because they have better engineers, but because they've built better feedback loops.
**Talk 3:**
Title: From Service Organization to Self-Service: Platform Engineering in Action
By Pavel Bureš from Sky
Modern engineering organisations accumulate platform silos faster than they can pay them down — each team picking its own way to provision workloads, databases, queues and caches, each with subtly different security, observability and cost profiles. In this talk we share how we are tackling that problem at scale through a Platform Engineering practice built on the principle of a unified, abstracted interface for application-centric configuration — an approach that shifts platform teams from "ticket-driven plumbing" to product thinking: stable contracts, golden paths, and self-service by default.
In the second half we zoom in on PEaaS (Persistence Engineering as a Service), our concrete implementation of these principles for stateful workloads. We will walk through the architecture — Crossplane 2.0 composition functions on EKS, application-centric Kubernetes claims (XRs), and a tenant-onboarding model that automates IAM, VPC endpoints, OIDC and S3 provisioning — and how it abstracts heterogeneous backends (Keyspaces, Aurora DSQL, Redis Cloud, and Kafka on EKS) behind one consistent interface.
Attendees will leave with: A practical pattern for designing engineering platforms in their own organisations.
A reference architecture for persistence-as-a-service on Crossplane.
Honest lessons on standardisation, tenant onboarding and platform adoption.

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
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 AI ART Columbus
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.
Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!

Claude Code with Unity
A session on using Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding agent, in real Unity development. We'll cover what coding agents are, where Claude Code fits, and how to apply it to an actual game project.
The format is presentation-style, with live demos and time for questions throughout. After brief scene-setting on coding agents and what makes Claude Code distinct, we'll go problem-driven: demoing it live on a released Unity game and introducing each feature as a solution to a problem we hit.
What to Expect:
* An intro to coding agents and where Claude Code fits
* A live demo on a real Unity project
* Key features as solutions to real problems: 𝖢𝖫𝖠𝖴𝖣𝖤.𝗆𝖽, context management, hooks, skills, subagents, and MCP
* Unity-specific pain points, including Domain Reload and MCP caveats
* Putting it together
All experience levels welcome. Food and drinks provided.

Drunken Philosophy: Where Is Everybody? The Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter
Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle.
**Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?**
In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox.
One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread.
Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for.
**Questions to wrestle with:**
* Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving?
* Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why?
* If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming?
* Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now?
As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.
