AI in Practice: What Product Managers Are Learning Right Now
Are you keeping up with how fast AI is changing the way we work?
We are in the midst of understanding how AI is reshaping our roles, workflows, and what is possible in product development. The pace of change is rapid, and many managers are actively experimenting and learning as they go.
We’ve invited two experienced product practitioners to share their hands on experience and learnings: **Daniel** will focus on how AI can be used to increase personal leverage and productivity as a product manager. **Ruslan** will share his experience with turning AI prototypes and real products.
This event is designed for hands-on product managers and product builders who want to improve their workflows and rethink how products are built within their organizations.
**Agenda**
18:15 – Doors open for snacks, drinks, and networking
19:00 – Welcome from ProductTank Berlin
19:10 – Demystifying AI: A Productivity Playbook for Product Managers, Daniel Zherenkov
19:40 – Building with AI: How Smart Prototypes Become Real Products, Ruslan Vorobev

* We'd like to capture the event with photographs for promotional purposes, such as sharing on LinkedIn after the event. If you have any concerns or preferences regarding this, please feel free to let us know beforehand.
**Demystifying AI: A Productivity Playbook for Product Managers, Daniel Zherenkov**
To harness the power of AI, you first need to understand it. Join this session to strip away the FONO tropes from LinkedIn and understand the reality of today's AI capabilities. We will explore practical frameworks for integrating AI into the product management daily life, empowering you to make better decisions, streamline workflows, and build superior products.
About the speaker:
Daniel, ML/AI Product Manager at Delivery Hero with 8+ years of experience in creating ML and AI products, will explain what AI actually is and how to squeeze the maximum efficiency from it based on the real examples that could be reproduced by anyone.
**Building with AI: How Smart Prototypes Become Real Products, Ruslan Vorobev**
The talk looks at how AI can turn quick prototypes into real, valuable products. Ruslan shares practical lessons from using tools like Lovable, GPT, and internal automations to move from idea validation to production-ready solutions. The focus is on finding where AI truly adds value, whether through lightweight assistants or deeper integrations, and where it’s better left out.
About the speaker:
Ruslan Vorobev is Head of Product with a strong focus on innovation and AI-driven solutions. He has overseen product and business development across sustainability, circular economy, and manufacturing domains, helping scale digital products from early prototypes to market-ready solutions.

**18:00 – Research Harness Engineering for Model Development**
Florian Hönicke — Elastic
Every programmer is now a manager of coding agents — but human oversight quickly becomes the bottleneck. Florian will share how Elastic built an agentic research harness to support their v5-omni model development, enabling structured experimentation and faster iteration cycles in applied AI research, and why building your own harness is the key unlock for teams serious about scaling agentic workflows.
***
**18:20 – Low-Code Feature Engineering in Zalando with Agentic Support**
Ola Wahab — Zalando
Feature engineering at scale has traditionally been a high-friction process — days of infra setup, complex tooling coordination, and lots of boilerplate. Ola will walk through how Zalando is shifting to a low-code, configuration-driven approach where teams define pipelines declaratively, and how agentic coding has compressed the journey from feature discovery to production from weeks to days.
***
**18:40 – Ranking Logic Migration from Monolith — Using Code Agents for Iterative Performance Benchmarking**
Ivan Potapov — Zalando
How Zalando’s Search and Browse Discovery team extracted a latency-critical ranking service from a monolith and validated it for production.
This talk covers:
* Migrating the ranking read path into a standalone Ranking API
* Using AI-powered agentic loops with async-profiler to close the p99 latency gap
* Practical lessons on allocation profiling, virtual threads, and production validation

ALL MATERIALS
PROGRAM:
The aim of this course is to learn and deepen the basic skills of drawing and figure drawing. Students will learn the fundamentals of drawing through observation, instinct, and traditional methods in a winning combination. Focus will be on the main points of traditional drawing, such as structure, volume, shading, framing and composition as well as the human figure. Through a step by step program, you will learn how to bring what you see onto paper and how to finish with a completed chiaroscuro drawing. These skills are an essential foundation for further personal artistic exploration.
MAIN POINTS OF THE CLASSES:
• how to draw what we see
• how to see lines and volume
• proportions and shapes
• how to do shading / chiaroscuro
• how to use materials
• how to sketch and define figures
• work on different pose's lenght
• how to apply all that you learn
**DETAILED PROGRAM OF THE CLASS BELOW :**
To begin, the students will work from Still Life and objects in order to learn how to bring what they see to the paper. The step by step program will go through the fundamentals of perspective, volume, proportions- all of the skills required to draw anything, whether it be still life, people, nature, or animals.
The students will then begin working from the model. Students will learn how to identify the main driving forces and masses of the body. The 'bean' approach will help the students see the basic 3-dimensional structure of the body. With professional models posing under controlled lighting for shadows and contrast.

[face to face] professional communication exercise
Join this Professional Communication session — to sharpen the skills for architectural pitches, elevator pitches, interviews. This time we meet in the Monbijou park.
💡 How it works
The event is split into two parts:
1. **Communication (10 minute rounds)** – One participant answers a round of design and behavioral questions. Each other participant gets to ask him one question.
2. **Feedback Round** – The group provides feedback on communication, structure, and clarity. Constructive criticism is encouraged.
💡You will be asked:
* **Light design problems** (high-level reasoning, not code)
* **Behavioral questions** (“Tell me about yourself”, “Describe a challenge you faced...”)
No need to prepare anything in advance — just bring curiosity and an open mind.
💡Note: location is the entrance to Monbijou park

Theory Meets Practice #3: Embedded Deep Learning Models on 5€ microcontrollers
**⚠️ IMPORTANT: REGISTRATION MANDATORY ⚠️**
Registration on **Luma** is **REQUIRED** to attend this event. **Link: https://luma.com/q57evozo?utm_source=meetup**
Your registration is subject to host approval. You must complete the registration process on lu.ma to receive the full event location details and confirmation of your attendance.
**Please note: Without approved registration on Luma, you will NOT be able to access the event location or attend.**
We are excited to host a **BLISS x dida** workshop featuring **Elias Trommer** from **Infineon**, who will guide us through an interactive session on Embedded AI.
**Title:** Deep Learning Models on 5€ microcontrollers
📅 **Date:** 29.04.2026
🕕 **Time:** 18:00
📍 **Location:** TU Berlin Marchstrasse 23 [Room 0.011]
The session will last around 2 hours, followed by a networking session with **dida** and fellow AI enthusiasts (and free pizza!🍕). Bring your laptop!
***
**Abstract**: In this workshop, we will discuss the unique challenges (and solutions) faced when deploying Deep Learning models to embedded microcontrollers. These tiny devices are increasingly capable of running models, even for relatively complex use cases, but come without many of the comforts of a classic computer. When deploying a model to a microcontroller, a much deeper understanding of the physical hardware and good knowledge of the various optimization paths that help reduce the resource consumption of an application is needed. We aim to shed some light on how to deploy models to these cheap, ubiquitous and sometimes surprisingly capable little pieces of hardware.
**In this session, we will cover:**
* Important differences between a desktop/server and a bare-metal embedded system
* Quantization for model compression
* Anatomy of an Embedded Application
* Embedded ML Inference Engines and how to run them
* Deploying a model step by step
**Who is this event for?**
This session is targeted at anyone with basic ML knowledge. Experience with C and embedded systems is probably helpful, but not required. We will cover the most important aspects as part of the workshop.
**⚡ FINAL REMINDER ⚡**
**You MUST register and be approved on Luma to attend. The event location will only be visible after your registration is confirmed by the host. Link: https://luma.com/q57evozo?utm_source=meetup**
