Next Meetup: Agentic Startup Canvas & Ideas for Agentic Software 🕕 Start time: 18:00 📍 Productboard HQ — Boudníkova 2506/1, 180 00 Praha 8-Palmovka (DOCK IN THREE, Libeň) *** I hope you enjoyed the first Prague AI-Driven Software Meetup — 90 people showed up, and the turnout alone proved there's real momentum for building a serious community around AI-native software in Czechia and Europe. We're taking that energy and turning it into something even more practical: a working session focused on what to build next. *** ### What we'll do We'll open with the Agentic Startup Canvas — a practical framework redesigned for the realities of agentic software. Classic canvases were built for products with static features and predictable workflows. Agentic products behave differently: they act, adapt, learn, coordinate, and operate inside real human environments. The canvas gives us a shared language for the evening. But the heart of the session is the opportunity itself. We'll walk through the agentic opportunity clusters — the 14 categories where the most significant shifts are already happening, from AI execution layers and trust infrastructure to workflow automation, research systems, embodied autonomy, and new institutional primitives. We'll look at which clusters are earliest, which are most capital-efficient to enter, and where the real white space is for founders who are paying attention right now. The goal is not a survey. It's a working discussion: which opportunities are real, which are overhyped, what is actually buildable today, and where the leverage is highest for a small team that moves fast. We want people to leave with a sharper map of the agentic landscape and a stronger conviction — or useful doubt — about what's worth building next. *** ### Research pack: shared for free Before the meetup, we will share research inside the Discord community. The output will be compiled into a structured, high-signal research pack — made available for free to everyone attending. It will include emerging categories, patterns, promising "agentic wedges," and a curated map of where the biggest leverage seems to be right now. T ### The session will be anchored around two pieces of research published this month: * [Agentic Startup Canvas](http://clicks.meetup.com/ls/click?upn=u001.NY3oBFzZ5LJDG7YcnfSAKm6EUCEsmblR7JBxBSDVQEqZW-2FPp8B0Pu6ZH2aHxlpvMomjK-2FONanBKw33ZxF87nnxsUkCcw-2BwhDBLIDwBy-2FAxINwO4rGsPTFvDYRcqN4W78-8vM_vRspvvIY-2BZ3iZvnmkz7x5yaGe6CXfFaq2WUiprCZdJDf-2BuZ1tnn2iLrh7nCfr3cbj3dLi-2B8kIa2l-2F8nCsGZzKP1siKIwt5R6WcSSHDAyilQ-2BYKZTbaggllzIz3VwRiGm1HxOmZLoaI8Nwd4eHsXS1zKdxhO7azTxEtDTGikxvQk3iRB4LMAgfIh-2BtEmiQOb7yKjURbPu3dfzIKGTOAtrfoZnzNzl9x03L-2BAM-2BXFFEA-2BHIxHwdbW8rbxoKf-2BP8Q1y5abzVN5ga0vPTYDo9xUtZKDaGGfcj-2FPRRYBHuVw-2FHS2Bu25Ni3CDkkxzQdWWLim5OdRwmoXAi6uJIm00aH6n8rlbB2loQgea5lzC-2FaIZ8fsCV8NeVM-2Fyb6-2FIidY2Ee9YRWxWbP5HOfcbZnfJKqCZReHtF6877ZYXQS4jYgtvJFIKoIpdSZcyNBwZlvKOFLNDIYFOgccrC3oxwr3uh8zoM3gLlLtsvVNyu6t-2Bio-2BjGU53N-2BhjpF-2FolRJm-2BxwJtC-2FD8ZUssjJwv-2BDDiku2mndCa8ads09nSo5i0PcWZuKnTE5BaX1HlMyVtU4naqcZQCaNbOuj4dp66sF-2Fv6UAbZFntqhjZfjjdVUI7KO9M2ypDnhmlMQCPww14W1uqxjqAc-2Bc1GWfnwPJf79Hmb-2BAgFlOGKfpT6AEOcOdJoCkx-2FlqOpY-3D "http://clicks.meetup.com/ls/click?upn=u001.NY3oBFzZ5LJDG7YcnfSAKm6EUCEsmblR7JBxBSDVQEqZW-2FPp8B0Pu6ZH2aHxlpvMomjK-2FONanBKw33ZxF87nnxsUkCcw-2BwhDBLIDwBy-2FAxINwO4rGsPTFvDYRcqN4W78-8vM_vRspvvIY-2BZ3iZvnmkz7x5yaGe6CXfFaq2WUiprCZdJDf-2BuZ1tnn2iLrh7nCfr3cbj3dLi-2B8kIa2l-2F8nCsGZzKP1siKIwt5R6WcSSHDAyilQ-2BYKZTbaggllzIz3VwRiGm1HxOmZLoaI8Nwd4eHsXS1zKdxhO7azTxEtDTGikxvQk3iRB4LMAgfIh-2BtEmiQOb7yKjURbPu3dfzIKGTOAtrfoZnzNzl9x03L-2BAM-2BXFFEA-2BHIxHwdbW8rbxoKf-2BP8Q1y5abzVN5ga0vPTYDo9xUtZKDaGGfcj-2FPRRYBHuVw-2FHS2Bu25Ni3CDkkxzQdWWLim5OdRwmoXAi6uJIm00aH6n8rlbB2loQgea5lzC-2FaIZ8fsCV8NeVM-2Fyb6-2FIidY2Ee9YRWxWbP5HOfcbZnfJKqCZReHtF6877ZYXQS4jYgtvJFIKoIpdSZcyNBwZlvKOFLNDIYFOgccrC3oxwr3uh8zoM3gLlLtsvVNyu6t-2Bio-2BjGU53N-2BhjpF-2FolRJm-2BxwJtC-2FD8ZUssjJwv-2BDDiku2mndCa8ads09nSo5i0PcWZuKnTE5BaX1HlMyVtU4naqcZQCaNbOuj4dp66sF-2Fv6UAbZFntqhjZfjjdVUI7KO9M2ypDnhmlMQCPww14W1uqxjqAc-2Bc1GWfnwPJf79Hmb-2BAgFlOGKfpT6AEOcOdJoCkx-2FlqOpY-3D") — Lean Canvas like framework for analyzing agentic system opportunities * [Agentic Startups: The Opportunity Principles](https://articles.intelligencestrategy.org/p/agentic-startups-the-opportunity-026) — 12 economic principles redefining how value is created in the agentic era, from outcome-based pricing to the silicon workforce * [Agentic Startups: The Opportunity Clusters](https://articles.intelligencestrategy.org/p/agentic-startups-the-opportunity) — A civilizational stack mapping 14 clusters of opportunity, from AI execution layers and trust infrastructure to embodied autonomy and new institutionsJoin the Discord community This meetup is also a community-building step. If you want access to the research sprint, the canvas resources, and follow-up discussions (including idea iteration after the event), join the Discord via: agent-driven.org That's where we'll start organizing ongoing content, research, and collaboration. *** ### Speakers This meetup includes short opening talks to set the frame, followed by guided discussion and idea work. **Cedric Maloux** — Investor & Accelerationist, StartupYard StartupYard is the oldest accelerator in the Czech Republic. Cedric brings an investor's lens to the agentic opportunity — what makes an agentic startup fundable, how to recognize the strongest opportunities, and what separates the ideas worth building from the ones that will get commoditized fast. **Dominik Ilichman** — Senior AI Product Manager, Productboard Building AI-native product experiences at one of Central Europe's most respected product-led SaaS companies. Dominik will share what the agentic shift looks like from the inside, having worked on the most radical feature in Productboard, the all integrated AI called Spark — what it means for how software is designed, shipped, and used at scale.

How do you actually build products and companies in 2026 — when AI is no longer a side experiment but a core part of how work gets done? This UX Monday, we're bringing you **two talks from practitioners who live this every day** — no demo prompting, no theoretical AI strategies. Just real stories, real setups, and real lessons from the trenches of product work and startup operations. **What you'll discover:** * How AI shifts the interface between design, product, and engineering — and what that means for your role * Practical approaches to building knowledge hubs that give AI agents the context they need * Concrete workflows for using AI agents across design, ops, communication, and decision-making * Why context engineering matters more than vibe coding — and where to start Whether you're a designer, PM, developer, researcher, or founder — these talks offer a grounded, no-BS perspective on what it actually looks like to work with AI as a collaborator in 2026. **Featured Speakers:** **[Honza Valder](https://www.linkedin.com/in/janvalder/)** — *Practical AI for hot-dog stand personnel* Not a talk about tools or a prompting demo — it's a story about how product work changes when AI becomes part of the workflow. Honza shares his journey through the past year (sabbatical, experimenting, Orbiso) as a series of concrete situations where AI stopped being a toy and became a practical collaborator. Expect a strong emphasis on mindset: don't wait for a "company AI strategy" — try things in real work, learn the limits, and plug AI in where it makes sense. He'll cover where AI has real team impact — project context, documentation, prototyping in a real stack — and close with practical implications for designers, researchers, PMs, and developers. **[Šimon Jůn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-jun/)** — COO @ [dotidot.io](http://dotidot.io) — *AI Agents in Startup Life* A practical look at how AI agents and knowledge hubs work in everyday startup operations — from the perspective of a designer and COO in one person. Šimon will walk through how to set up knowledge hubs that give agents real context, share concrete flows for using agents in design, ops, communication, documentation, and decision-making, and explain why context engineering beats vibe coding every time. Real tools, real workflows, real lessons.

Hi all! My name is Cara, and I am a native English speaker from America living in Prague. This a meet up for t**hose learning English as a second language** and want the **opportunity to practice**. It will be a fun and relaxed setting where we will play games to **promote English conversations** or have some kind of activity. This club will meet \*\*every other (two Mondays each month) Monday evening.\*\*The goal is for each person to walk away having learned new English words and have more confidence when speaking in English. Please, bring some money if you want to purchase a coffee from Evento. **This event is sponsored by a church.** The church that sponsors this English meet up is **Církev bratrská, Bohnice** [https://www.cbbohnice.cz](https://www.cbbohnice.cz/) . We want to live lives that are reflective of Jesus. Like Jesus we want to help others in meeting a practical need, in this case that would be speaking in English. At the end of the English club, we will extend an invite to anyone who is interested in exploring faith, wants to know more about Jesus, or wants to meet up to read from the Bible. However, we will never trick you into attending and will always be honest about the content of our meetings. *You do not have to attend religious events to be a part of English Club.*

Gentle Vinyasa is a slow, mindful yoga practice that connects breath and movement in a steady rhythm. The class focuses on soft flow sequences designed to release tension, improve mobility, and support nervous system balance. The pace allows participants to move with awareness rather than intensity. The session concludes with sound healing using crystal bowls. The sound supports integration and relaxation, allowing the body to settle after movement. This practice is suitable for all levels and does not require previous yoga experience. The class includes guided movement and a closing relaxation with sound. Facilitated by Andreea Surdu, yoga teacher who guides classes with clarity and calm presence. Her approach emphasizes breath, alignment, and accessible movement for everyday bodies. Mondays, 18.00-19.00, small classes, 200 CZK register through https://vev.co/atma-community-space-praha

It's open gaming night again! Come alone (or with friends) and meet some new people to game with. Just look for the 'Open Gaming' table(s) and feel free to sit in.

Learning Czech can be hard and demotivating, especially when studying alone. **This meetup is a shared study session where we come together to stay focused, motivated, and make progress — each in our own way.** This is a co-learning / co-studying session, not a class. There is no teacher, no lesson, and no study material provided. Everyone comes with their own resources and studies independently, in a shared environment. 🧠 **How it works** • We all bring our own material: • textbooks • homework from a Czech course • Duolingo or other apps • reading practice • vocabulary review, etc. • We mainly work individually • We are free to: • ask questions • help each other • share tips and resources • No teacher, no formal structure, no pressure 👥 **Who is it for?** • Czech learners of all levels • Non-Czech speakers (expats, internationals) • Czech native speakers are welcome if they want to help, but this is not a language exchange ⏱ **Practical info** • Location: Cafedu 12, Škrétova 490, 120 00 Praha 2 (Metro A and C, Muzeum station) • Duration: 2 hours, or less or more, as you want • Day & time: Monday, 18:00 • Group size: small group for now • Free event — please support the café by ordering a drink ☕ If you’re learning Czech and lack motivation when studying alone, come join us — let’s find it together 🙂

Hello ladies, Another meeting is here 🎉 Would you like to get to know other women who are interested in IT or work in the field?

**Naked Minds: Life Audit** **See where you truly stand & decide what’s next** Launch price: 399 CZK (regular price: 1,499 CZK) You need to register and buy [Tickets here](https://www.tixtree.com/e/life-audit-see-where-you-stand-dab2b4801eb5) Most people don’t feel stuck because they lack motivation. They feel stuck because they never clearly see where they actually are. Life Audit is a structured evening designed to help you pause and take an honest look at your current reality. Where do you truly stand right now? In your work. Your relationships. Your energy. Your direction. You won’t be pushed to “reinvent your life.” You will **see clearly. Choose consciously.** No hype. No gurus. No forced positivity. **Just clarity, ownership, and a next step that makes sense.** **WHAT THIS EVENT IS ABOUT** Your life moves in the direction of what you repeatedly choose — consciously or not. At Life Audit, you will: * Evaluate where you currently stand across the key areas of your life * Identify what feels aligned — and what doesn’t * Gain clarity on what is working and what is draining you * Define what you actually want next * Create a simple, realistic path forward This is not about pressure. It’s about awareness that leads to better decisions. **WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH** * A clear snapshot of your current life * Honest insight into your reality * A defined next direction * Concrete action steps tailored to you * Shared momentum from people who take growth seriously You won’t leave “inspired.” You’ll leave clear. This is about implementation, not information. **HOW IT FEELS** Grounded. Honest. Clear. Like stepping back and seeing your life from above — without judgment, without drama. **See clearly. Choose consciously.** No pressure. No shame. Just clarity and forward motion. **WHO THIS EVENT IS FOR** This is for you if you: * Want clarity about where you stand * Feel slightly off-track or drifting * Are ready to stop postponing decisions * Want growth that fits real life * Prefer grounded structure over motivation hype If you’re ready to stop drifting and start choosing your path … this is for you. **WHAT THIS IS … AND ISN’T** This is not a motivational talk. No yelling. No toxic positivity. No “just try harder.” Life Audit is a structured Naked Minds experience designed to help you see your life clearly — and move forward intentionally.

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.

Session Abstract ### **Data Cleansing using Data Bricks** Machine Learning is highly dependent on adequate data. Not only does quantity matter, but more importantly quality. In this session we’ll cover how to build a custom automated process using Data Bricks. This will provide methods for cleaning data in a data lake using functions in Azure. \*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.
