AI Engineer is coming to Singapore - and Google DeepMind (as a sponsor of the event) also wants to contribute to its general aura of awesomeness! Talks (each around 20mins long): **"Prototyping fast in Antigravity" - Ivan Leo** Ivan has been using Google Antigravity to rapidly build and prototype systems-level Zig libraries like teul and gil. He’ll walk through his actual day-to-day workflow and share the biggest lessons he's learned about steering AI when writing low-level code. Before joining Google DeepMind, Ivan worked on building agents at Manus AI (SG) before its acquisition by Meta in 2026, and so brings a practical view on what it takes to turn agent capabilities into products developers can actually use. **"Robotics Planning with Gemini" - Chaitanya Jadhav & Anurag Roy** Seizing the opportunity to do a lightning talk at the intersection of Robotics (the subject of the April MeetUp) and Gemini, Anurag and Chaitanya will demonstrate how Gemini's multimodal and reasoning capabilities can power a pipeline that converts photos of an indoor space into a map and generates executable task plans for robots with different embodiments. **"Something cool with TTS" - Martin Andrews** In this lightning talk, Martin has been playing with the Gemini Flash TTS models - and will demo both its regular API, and how it can be incorporated into various workflows. **"From Lab to Laundry: Scaling Robot Autonomy in the Real World" - Daniel Ng & Siddharth Krishnan** Google DeepMind’s ALOHA accelerated robot learning and model development, yet a gap remains between successful lab demos and robots working reliably in production. Daniel and Siddharth share their experience deploying ALOHA-based teleoperated robots in real work environments to bridge this autonomy gap; and explain why teleoperation will play key role in autonomous deployment. Apparently, there will be hardware! **FOOD UPDATE :** Google has told us that **there WILL BE** pizza at the event \-\-\- Talks will start at 7:10pm (entry at 6:45pm) and end at around 9:00pm, at which point attendees can come up to the front for a bit of a chat with each other, and the speakers. Due to some recent security incidents at the venue please take note of the new DevSpace security procedures [https://bit.ly/devspace-security](https://bit.ly/devspace-security) Attendees will not be admitted later than 15min after the talks have started. As always, we're actively looking for more speakers - both '30 minutes long-form', and lightning talks. For the lightning talks, we welcome folks to come and talk about something cool they've done with keras, PyTorch, JAX and/or Deep Learning for 5-10mins (so, if you have slides, then #max=10). We believe that the key ingredient for the success of a Lightning Talk is simply the cool/interesting factor. It doesn't matter whether you're an expert or an enthusiastic beginner: Given the responses we have had to previous talks, we're sure there are lots of people who would love to hear what you've been playing with. If you're interested in talking, please just introduce yourself to Martin at one of the events.

Get a full-body workout with a mix of cardio, strength, and endurance exercises. Our expert instructor will provide modifications for all levels in a fun, motivating class. Challenge yourself and have a great time! What:A dynamic session with cardio, strength, and endurance exercises. Who For:All levels—beginners and intermediates welcome! Modifications provided. Why:Push your limits with expert guidance in a fun, supportive environment. Don’t forgot to bring your yoga mat, water, comfortable sport attire, a towel and get ready to enjoy amazing day!

**Ship Agents That Earn Trust** ​Wed\, 13 May 2026 \| 2:00 PM – 6:30 PM SGT ​📍 \*SCAPE, L5 TreeTop, 2 Orchard Link, Singapore 237978 ​🎫 Complimentary food and drinks provided ​⸻ ​**About the Event** ​Every AI team is building agents, but very few can answer what happens when those agents need to act outside their own system. ​When an AI agent crosses an organisational boundary, it carries no verifiable identity. There is no way for the system on the other side to confirm what it is authorised to do, who sent it, or whether it can be trusted at all. The result is a trust gap that no amount of model improvement closes, because it is an infrastructure problem, not an intelligence one. ​This afternoon brings together AI founders and builders to confront that gap directly. Glenn Gore, CEO of Affinidi and former AWS Chief Architect, will give an opening address on building the Internet of Trust, and we will have a guest speaker, Managing Director of Temasek, Pradyumna Agrawal, who will speak about identity, trust, and the future of AI agents. ​You will also hear from a select group of AI companies already building on Affinidi Trust Fabric, sharing their production challenges. ​Whether you are architecting agentic infrastructure, building AI products, or stress-testing your assumptions about what trustworthy agents actually require, this is a conversation worth leaning in. Expect sharp thinking, real use cases, and the space to connect with a community of founders and builders working on the same hard problems. ​Complimentary dinner and drinks are included as the afternoon winds down, to continue conversations. ​RSVP on LUMA required: [https://luma.com/2lv08v20](https://luma.com/2lv08v20) ​⸻ ​**🛠 What's Happening** ​2:00 PM — **Registration and networking** ​2:35 PM — **Opening Address by Glenn Gore**, CEO of Affinidi and former Chief Architect at AWS: *Building the Internet of Trust* ​2:50 PM — **Guest Speaker: Pradyumna Agrawal**, Managing Director of Temasek: *Identity, Trust, and the Future of AI Agents* ​3:05 PM — **Community Spotlight: Arul Murugan,** Founder, GrowthLab ​3:15 PM — **Featured builder spotlights**: How AI companies are applying Affinidi Trust Fabric in real-world agentic solutions ​4:40 PM — **Panel discussion and audience Q&A** ​5:20 PM — **Networking dinner and builder conversations**: Mingle with founders, AI leaders, and builders over dinner.

**Avatar Agentic AI — AI Masterclass Series** Learn from AI Experts at Singapore's leading Agentic AI practice. Each session goes beyond theory — expect live practical demonstrations, real-world use cases, and hands-on practice with the latest AI tools transforming how businesses operate. Whether you're an SME owner, operations manager, or tech-curious professional, our masterclasses are designed to give you immediately applicable skills — from AI-powered workflows and WhatsApp automation to intelligent document processing and digital transformation strategies. Join us and experience AI the way it’s actually deployed — in action.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
