Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, wie Unternehmen AI Agents heute schon sinnvoll einsetzen können, um Abläufe zu vereinfachen, produktiver zu arbeiten und neue Arbeitsweisen im Team zu ermöglichen. #### 💡 Was du bei dem Event lernst: * Agentic AI im praktischen **Unternehmenseinsatz** * **Konkrete** Business Cases und Learnings aus der Praxis * **Produktivitätssteigerung** durch AI Agents * **Automatisierung** und Unterstützung von Wissensarbeit * **Chancen**, **Grenzen** und **Voraussetzungen** für den erfolgreichen Einsatz **Ein großes Dankeschön an [INNOQ](https://www.innoq.com/en/ "https://www.innoq.com/en/") für das Sponsoring des Caterings!** **🚀 Gründer:innen aufgepasst:** Der SIBB Incubator unterstützt Startups mit Fokus auf Cybersecurity, Deep Tech und Responsible AI. Sichert euch bis zu 100.000 € equity-free Förderung, individuelles Mentoring und Zugang zum SIBB-Expertennetzwerk. Jetzt bis zum 4. Mai bewerben unter: [sibb.de/incubator](https://sibb.de/incubator "https://sibb.de/incubator") #### Agenda und Speaker im Überblick: ***1\. Krzysztof Radecki \(CTO\, DAC\.Digital\) & Josua Ziegler \(CEO\, punktum\)*** **Hört auf zu prompten, fangt an zu managen: Agente-basierte KI in großem Maßstab orchestrieren** Wir fragen uns immer wieder, wie wir KI-Agenten leistungsfähiger machen können. Aber wie sieht es damit aus, sie steuerbar zu machen? Dieser Vortrag beginnt mit einem Überblick über die Landschaft der agente-basierten KI – denn bevor man in großem Maßstab orchestrieren kann, muss man wissen, wo man tatsächlich steht und was wirklich benötigt wird. Dann wird es konkret: ein echtes Plattformprojekt, eine kühne stadtweite Vision und ein einziges LLM, das diese nicht umsetzen konnte. Die Lösung war kein besserer Prompt. Es war besseres Management – klar definierte Rollen, eindeutige Aufgabenverteilung und ein System, das weiß, wer verfügbar ist und worin die jeweiligen Stärken liegen. Die Prinzipien, die menschliche Teams in großem Maßstab funktionieren lassen? Sie gelten auch für KI. Und das verändert die Art und Weise, wie man entwickelt. ***2\. Johannes Rave \(Senior Consultant\, InnoQ\)*** **No Constrain, No Gain** *Struktur für den Agent, Klarheit für den Menschen, Flexibilität für das Unternehmen* KI-Codierungsagenten sind bemerkenswert gut darin, Code zu erstellen. Ob dieser Code jedoch die tatsächlichen Anforderungen des Unternehmens widerspiegelt – und ob er auch sechs Monate später noch sinnvoll ist –, ist eine ganz andere Frage. Die Versuchung ist groß, dies als ein Problem der Eingabeaufforderung zu betrachten – dem Agenten mehr Kontext, bessere Anweisungen und klarere Ziele zu geben. Ein oft übersehener Hebel ist die Beachtung der Architektur. Wenn die Domänenlogik ihren eigenen, klar abgegrenzten Platz hat, getrennt von der technischen Infrastruktur um sie herum, geschieht etwas Interessantes: Der Agent bleibt fokussiert, der Mensch kann tatsächlich prüfen, was wichtig ist, und das Ganze bleibt offen für Änderungen, ohne dass eine Neuprogrammierung erforderlich ist. Dieser Vortrag stellt einen Ansatz vor, wie man dorthin gelangt – und wie einige gut platzierte Einschränkungen Ihnen Freiheit verschaffen können. ***3\. Julian Kling \(Data Analytics Consultant\, Infomotion\)*** **Beyond OCR: Intelligent Document Processing with LLMs & Agents** Zwei Jahrzehnte lang bedeutete Dokumentenverarbeitung OCR in Verbindung mit Vorlagen – anfällige Abläufe, die immer dann ins Stocken gerieten, wenn ein Anbieter sein Layout änderte. Große Sprachmodelle (LLMs) und agentische Architekturen schreiben dieses Drehbuch gerade neu. In diesem Vortrag wird anhand realer Kundenanwendungsfälle aus den Bereichen Rechnungswesen, Zeiterfassung und Testberichte erläutert, wie ein moderner Stack für intelligente Dokumentenverarbeitung tatsächlich aussieht. #### 🎯 Für wen ist das Event gedacht: * Unternehmen, die sich mit dem **praktischen Einsatz von KI** beschäftigen * **Innovations**\- und **Digitalverantwortliche** * **Produkt**\- und **Tech**-Teams * **Startups** und **Gründungsteams** im AI-Umfeld * alle die mehr über die Bereichen **Cybersecurity** und **Trustworthy AI** lernen wollen \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Registrierung nur über Eventbrite:** [👉](https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/berlin-digital-business-network-sibb/events/313709910/?eventOrigin=group_events_list) https://www.eventbrite.de/e/1986992275384👈

AI is rapidly changing how work gets done. Tasks that used to require experience, facilitation, or coordination can now be supported, or even replaced, by tools. So what does that mean for roles like Scrum Master or Agile Coach? * Will these roles disappear? * Will they evolve? * Or are we asking the wrong question entirely? This meetup is not a talk. It’s a **fishbowl discussion**. An interactive format where you can actively shape the conversation. 🧠 **What we’ll explore** Together, we’ll dive into questions like: * Which parts of our roles are already being automated? * Where do Agile Coaches struggle to create real impact today? * What skills might become obsolete? * What new capabilities might become critical? 🎤 **Format** * Short framing to set the stage * You bring your questions and perspectives * We collect key topics from everyone * Open fishbowl discussion (5 chairs, dynamic participation) * Moderated by Robert Briese, CEO Lean Sherpas GmbH You can jump in, leave your seat, and contribute at any time. 👥 **Who this is for** * Scrum Masters & Agile Coaches * People working in or transitioning into agile roles * Anyone questioning the future of their role 💡 **Why join** Most AI discussions stay at the level of tools or fear. This session is about **making sense of what it actually means for you**. Btw: This meetup is part of a 3-part series leading up to a special event with the author of *10xOrg* in June.

A lunchtime conversation with the man who built the world's largest startup accelerator What separates the founders who break through from those who don't? In 2026, the answer increasingly comes down to one thing: how you wield AI. The rules of company-building are being rewritten — faster than most founders realize. AI isn't just a productivity tool anymore. It's compressing the timeline from idea to product, from product to funding, from funding to scale. The founders who understand this shift aren't working harder. They're working smarter, faster, and with leverage that simply didn't exist before. There are few people better positioned to unpack what this means for founders than Adeo Ressi. He's spent over 15 years obsessing over one question: what does it actually take to build a successful startup What You'll Learn - The AI-native founder playbook — How top founders are using AI as a co-founder - From zero to funded, faster - The rewired venture ecosystem — How AI is changing what investors look for and how capital is being deployed - Live Q&A — An open, candid conversation.
