Whether you’ve read the whole book, only just started, or simply want to come along and listen, you’re very welcome. New people are always welcome at the book club. **Book:** *Rakesfall* by Vajra Chandrasekera **Date:** Tuesday, June 23rd **Time:** 7:30 pm **Location:** Tog Hackerspace Come along for sci-fi and conversation.

An Examined Life - A discussion group to exchange ideas and opinions related to psychology, science and philosophy. The format is that we select a theme and pick a book related to that theme to discuss. The link to the book will be posted and also a talk/podcast related to the book should you not have time to read the full book before the meetup. Pre-reading is not mandatory, however, everyone will get more out of the session if you read the book or listen to the short talk. The aim is to meet in Wetherspoons. Usually we are at a long table near the front window or, if not, a long table downstairs. Ask around and I'm sure you'll find the group!

TOG will be open on Tuesday evenings from 19:00 to 21:30 for a general Open House event. Expect to find members and visitors in the space up to all sorts of activities. It's a great time to drop in and see what the space is about. If you're an artist, tinkerer, maker or just plain curious, come in and see what the space is about. Maybe you already have something to work on (or want to), have something to fix, create, design, bodge or tinker... drop in. We're also open for just for plain old social chat and hang out, with plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. We have lots of free parking right outside our door.

Philosophy considers that facts provide the foundation truths for our logical understanding. Fiction shapes human values, and emotional understanding. In a world of unchecked information, mis- or disinformation, how do we discriminate between fact and fiction to influence our world views? Join us Tuesday at Walter's, buy a drink at the bar and join this important and timely discussion.

Join us for some casual games @ Corrigans. All levels welcome!

**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 See you soon!
