# ### 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)*

In dieser Session dreht sich alles um die **Optimierung agentischer KI** unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Ökologie. Mit der zunehmenden Verbreitung von KI in Unternehmen entwickeln sich Token-Verbrauch, Inferenzkosten, Orchestrierungsaufwand und Kontextmanagement zu entscheidenden betrieblichen Herausforderungen. Die nächste Phase der KI-Entwicklung wird nicht nur von der Intelligenz der Modelle abhängen, sondern auch davon, wie effizient diese Intelligenz orchestriert, gesteuert und skaliert werden kann. Lean Agentic AI stellt einen architektonischen Ansatz vor, der Lean-Engineering-Prinzipien auf agentische Systeme anwendet – wodurch unnötiger Token-Verbrauch reduziert, redundantes Schlussfolgern minimiert und die Recheneffizienz durch modulare Agenten, selektive Orchestrierung, adaptives Gedächtnis und abrufgesteuerte Intelligenz optimiert wird. Somit verringert sich automatisch auch die Umweltauswirkung von KI. Zu Gast haben wir Navveen Balani, Executive Director bei der Green Software Foundation und ausgewiesener Experte in der Anwendung und Optimierung von KI. Er zeigt und, wie tokenbewusste Architekturen Skalierbarkeit, Latenz, Governance und ROI verbessern können und es uns gleichzeitig ermöglichen, produktionsreife KI-Ökosysteme aufzubauen, die effizient, kontrollierbar und in großem Maßstab nachhaltig sind. Die Diskussion basiert auf den Konzepten aus dem Buch des Autors, „Lean Agentic AI“.

Po prvním meetupovém večeru bylo jasno. **Fabric komunita** v Česku fakt existuje. A má chuť sdílet zkušenosti a slepé uličky, o kterých veřejně zase tak moc neuslyšíte. Proto vás zveme na druhé setkání CZ FUG. Tentokrát se podíváme na dvě témata, která teď ve Fabric světě hodně rezonují: **Jak na vývoj Fabric Data Agenta** [Roman Lánský](https://www.linkedin.com/in/romanlansky/) ukáže, co vlastně Fabric Data Agent je, jak o něm přemýšlet, jak ho stavět, testovat a proč to celé začíná být důležitou součástí Fabric IQ. **Enterprise planning konečně přímo v Microsoft Fabric** [Jakub Fabian](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabianjakub/) představí nový Fabric Plan Item a ukáže, jak dostat budgeting, forecasting a enterprise planning z Excelového peklíčka přímo do Fabricu. Včetně write-backu, audit trailu a propojení na Power BI v rámci jedné platformy. A ani tentokrát vás neochudíme o oblíbenou **customer story z reálného projektu**. Je to work in progress, ale vypadá slibně. Stejně jako minule bude druhá část večera hlavně o otevřené diskusi, zkušenostech z projektů, otázkách, frustracích i věcech, které vám ve Fabricu udělaly radost. Pokud Fabric používáte, testujete nebo kolem něj jen opatrně kroužíte, stavte se.

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\.

On Saturday, 27th of June, we’re going to meet and discuss the *The Power of the Powerless* by Václav Havel, an influential book that has become a key text of dissident thought in communist Eastern Europe. Written in 1978, Havel’s book explores how authoritarian systems sustain themselves not only through force, but through conformity, fear, and everyday participation in lies. What does it mean to ‘live within the truth’? Can ordinary people resist oppressive systems, even when they seem powerless? And what forms of responsibility do individuals bear in political life? Although written under late socialism in Czechoslovakia, Havel’s reflections remain strikingly relevant today. How do ideology, bureaucracy, media, and social pressure shape our behaviour? Are modern societies immune to the dynamics Havel describes – or do they simply take different forms? Václav Havel (1936–2011) was a Czech playwright, dissident, political thinker, and statesman. A leading figure of the democratic opposition during communist rule, he later became the last President of Czechoslovakia and the first President of the Czech Republic. *** Anyone is welcome to join! Before the meeting, please read the book (it’s around 100 pages long), think about it, and note any passages you find especially interesting, challenging, or worth discussing. We’ll share our thoughts and interpretations during the meeting. Organizational notes: 📍 Attendance is free ⏳ Spots are limited 🔗 Please register via the app so we know how many people to expect and can reserve a table accordingly

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

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
