ProductTank Dublin: Building AI Products That Matter . Hosted by Cubic³
**Building AI Products That Matter** explores what it really takes to turn AI ideas into products that create real business impact. Join us for an honest discussion on moving beyond experimentation, identifying meaningful problems, validating outcomes, and building AI solutions that scale in production. Expect practical insights, lessons learned, and real-world perspectives from teams actively delivering AI products.
**🔹 Talk 1: Building AI Into Products: Why Some Efforts Fail Before They Begin**
AI is rapidly becoming a core part of modern products, with teams increasingly able to add powerful capabilities in a matter of days. When done well, it can unlock entirely new user experiences, drive efficiency, and create meaningful competitive advantage. But while the technology has never been more accessible, successfully integrating it into real products requires more than just plugging in a model.
Many teams move quickly to add AI features without first addressing the underlying foundations — particularly data quality and workflow design. The result is often inconsistent outputs, low adoption, and systems that struggle to deliver real value at scale. In practice, AI tends to amplify the strengths and weaknesses of the environment it operates in, making these prerequisites critical.
**Speaker:** [Cathal Ó Riain](https://ie.linkedin.com/in/cathal-o-riain-298b8a1), Director of Data Products at Cubic³
Through roles with Accenture, Aon, Flutter and Cubic, Cathal has experience building and scaling data-driven products and AI-enabled systems in enterprise environments. In this talk, he explores the key foundations required to effectively integrate AI into products — from preparing high-quality data to embedding AI into processes where it can genuinely add value — along with practical lessons on how to set AI initiatives up for success from the outset.
**🔹 Talk 2: The Customer Insights Stack: What It Really Takes to Build (And When You Shouldn't)**
Every company sits on a huge amount of customer insight data - call recordings, support tickets, sales conversations - that rarely gets revisited. At the same time, building internal AI tooling has never been easier, leading many teams into a “build everything” mindset. But when building becomes cheap, deciding what’s actually worth building becomes the real challenge. Teams often end up with fragmented tools that don’t scale, are difficult to maintain, and fail to deliver clarity or adoption.
**Speaker:** [Richard Blythman](https://ie.linkedin.com/in/richardblythman), Co-Founder & CEO of Naptha AI
Richard has experience building both custom enterprise solutions and scalable productized platforms in this space. In this talk, he explores the spectrum from lightweight AI workflows using Claude Code to fully productionized customer insight systems, including the trade-offs, investment considerations, and performance comparisons against custom-built solutions.
**What to Expect:**
* **Interactive Q&A:** Bring your toughest product challenges; our speakers are ready for your questions.
* **Networking:** As always, we’ll have plenty of food and drinks to fuel the conversation. It’s the perfect opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new people from Dublin’s product community.
**⚠️ RSVP & Check-in Information**
Please RSVP **only if you can attend in person.**
**Transport:** The venue is easily accessible via the Green Luas Line, with direct access from Dublin City Centre.
Thursday, Jun 25 · 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM IST
Cubic³ Office Dublin · The Hive, Carmanhall Road, Sandyford Industrial Estate, Dublin 18, D18 Y2C9

Day of Arts - workshops & artistic presentations
Art has long been a means to express and perceive universal values of beauty and harmony by finding an expression to unite opposites, like light and darkness, sounds and silences or movement and stillness. And the artist, like the philosopher, finds a way to make the invisible visible or perceivable, whether in paintings, sculptures, music, dance, poetry and so much more.
Join us for an afternoon in the search for Wisdom through Philosophy & Art.
**2pm Introduction ‘The Muses’ (Free)**
Introduction to the day, with a short talk on the ‘The Muses’, inspiring poetry and dramatic readings.
**Ongoing workshop – “Making a shared mosaic” (Free)**
From all the individual pieces of tiles there emerges a beautiful unity, each piece is different and contributes to the collective. This is one of the key principles in Mosaic art. Learn more about this and the fundamentals of creating mosaics and how to create simple designs using colourful tiles.
***All are welcome! No experience necessary for any of the activities.***
There are also 2 other workshops running on the day, please click the links below to find out more.

OpenClaw: Applied usecases
**NOTE: Registration invalid on meetup. Please register here for a valid ticket: [www.giveago.co/register/openclaw3](www.giveago.co/register/openclaw3)**
"A capable agent is one that replies. A valuable agent is one that handles real work."
This is the third installment in the OpenClaw series, shifting focus toward practical application—deploying built agents into real workflows across customer support, go-to-market, engineering, and QA. The event features a self-directed, table-group format where attendees work at their own pace alongside others pursuing similar goals.
What we'll work through together
• Customer support automation: triaging, drafting, routing, resolving without the back-and-forth
• GTM workflows: lead research, outreach drafting, CRM updates, follow-up sequences
• Engineering tasks: PR summaries, issue triage, documentation, test generation
• QA and ops: automated checks, error monitoring, reporting pipelines
• Building for your domain: scoping the right use case and wiring it up end to end
Bring a laptop. Bring a running agent. Have a workflow in mind you'd love to hand off.

This is the second day in the OpenClaw series. We're going deeper: memory that actually persists across conversations, a knowledge base it can draw on, skills that connect it to the tools you already use, and workflows that handle a whole process end to end. These are the things that turn an interesting agent into something you actually rely on.
Self-directed, table-group format. You work at your own pace, in your own direction, with people around you doing the same.
**What we'll work through together**
* Memory architecture: short-term, long-term, episodic and how to set them up properly
* Knowledge bases: connecting your own docs and notes so the agent can draw on them
* Good skills to add: which integrations are worth the effort (Notion, email, calendar, GitHub)
* Giving access to tools: MCP, APIs, function calling
* Proper workflows: multi-step, conditional, handling a whole process and not just one message
* Sandboxing: running actions safely without breaking things or leaking data
