Le rendez-vous des AI Builders #1
Intelligence artificielle, no-code, automatisation, applications, prototypes, agents IA… envie de passer de la théorie à la pratique ?
Nous réunissons des esprits curieux, entrepreneurs, freelances, créatifs, profils tech ou non-tech pour construire ensemble des mini-applications avec l’aide de l’IA, dans une ambiance accessible, collaborative et concrète.
Le principe est simple :
**une consigne commune, un temps limité, un produit à créer.**
À chaque rencontre, tout le monde part du même brief ou de la même idée, puis utilise les outils d’IA pour imaginer, construire et présenter une application, un outil ou un produit **fonctionnel.**
**Nous ne sommes pas :** une formation ou un cours sur l’IA. Une conférence sur l’IA. Un lieu pour faire du networking passif.
Débutants bienvenus, builders confirmés également.
L’objectif n’est pas d’être le meilleur builder, mais d’apprendre à utiliser l’IA pour créer plus vite, tester des idées et progresser en construisant.
**La thématique de la rencontre** **sera établie le jour du meetup.**
Exemples de défis possibles :
* créer une app pour organiser sa semaine avec l’IA ;
* créer un assistant IA pour freelances ;
* créer un outil de génération de posts LinkedIn ;
* créer une landing page intelligente ;
* créer un mini-SaaS en 2 heures ;
* créer un agent IA capable d’automatiser une tâche simple.
**Le format**
C’est un mini-hackathon encadré, avec :
1. **19h** accueil des participants
2. **19h15** une courte introduction pour présenter le défi du jour + brief commun donné à tous les participants ;
3. **19h30** début du build seul ou en binôme ;
4. **21h30** présentation des projets suivie d’un moment d’échange et de networking.
Pas besoin de venir avec une idée.
**Juste votre Pc portable et un abonnement Claude/ChatGPT …**
Nous donnons la consigne, vous construisez avec l’IA.
L’objectif : créer du concret.
**Pour nous trouver**

Meetup ElasticFR #103 - La Home Sweet Company
🎤 Envie de proposer un sujet pour un prochain évènement ? N'hésite pas à venir en parler sur https://ela.st/cfp-elasticfr. 🙏🏼
**Agenda**
* Ouverture des portes
* Update sur Elastic (5 minutes)
* Talk1: La carcasse et sous le capot : Agent Building sans filtre par Aziz Imgharne (20 minutes)
* Talk2: Tri contextuel et haute cardinalité : l'approche par sparse vectors avec Elasticsearch par François Gaillard (20 minutes)
* Talk3: Sécuriser les migrations Elasticsearch : alias swap, rollback et reindex sans perte de données par Said Bouigherdaine (10 minutes)
* Food & drinks
**La carcasse et sous le capot : Agent Building sans filtre**
*Par Aziz Imgharne, EAfterWork*
On décortique comment construire des agents IA Prod Ready et quand basculer vers des agents spécialisés. On finit par l’essentiel pour la prod : observabilité, tests, évals et fiabilité.
**Tri contextuel et haute cardinalité : l'approche par sparse vectors avec Elasticsearch**
*Par François Gaillard, ADEO*
Dans l'e-commerce à grande échelle, le tri contextuel traditionnel est un véritable défi en termes de performance. Chez ADEO, nous gérons le catalogue Leroy Merlin qui compte plus de 5 millions de produits et plus de 700 000 contextes de requête. Les solutions classiques (qui induisent une mapping explosion ou des nested objects) ne permettaient tout simplement pas de passer à l’échelle.
Les approches de ranking à deux étages écartent souvent des produits performants lors de la phase de retrieval (sélection large), avant même qu'ils n'atteignent le moteur de tri. Il nous fallait intégrer ces signaux contextuels dès la première étape.
Au cours de cette présentation, nous montrerons comment nous avons traité chaque contexte de requête comme une dimension unique au sein d’un sparse_vector Elasticsearch. En utilisant un vecteur de requête avec une unique composante non nulle, le produit scalaire se transforme en une simple lecture de données (feature lookup) ultra-rapide. Nous avons ainsi transformé une opération de similarité complexe en une extraction de score simple et performante.
Nous partagerons nos résultats (obtenus sur un catalogue d'un million de produits) ainsi que les compromis identifiés.
**Sécuriser les migrations Elasticsearch : alias swap, rollback et reindex sans perte de données**
*Par Said Bouigherdaine, LexisNexis*
Toute équipe qui fait tourner Elasticsearch en production finit tôt ou tard par se heurter au même problème : un changement de mapping est appliqué, la réindexation échoue en cours de route, et le cluster se retrouve bloqué dans un état à moitié migré que personne ne sait comment rattraper.
Les bases SQL ont Flyway. Les clusters de recherche, eux, se débrouillent avec des scripts curl et des messages Slack.
Cette présentation détaille les patterns qui permettent de sécuriser les migrations de schéma Elasticsearch en production — migrations versionnées, bascule d’alias avec retour arrière, pièges de la réindexation asynchrone, verrous distribués — le tout illustré avec le CLI open-source [ScaledSearch](https://github.com/saidbouig/scaledsearch).
L'aventure du Braille, Deux Siècles d'Innovation | Visite Commentée
« Vous connaissez certainement le braille, mais savez-vous qu'il existe un braille mathématique, un braille informatique, un braille musical, et un braille abrégé ? Et que depuis son invention en 1825, le braille s'est développé à travers le monde et permet désormais de transcrire 137 langues ? »
Chèr.e.s tou.te.s,
Retrouvons-nous pour une visite commentée de l’expo « L’aventure du braille, deux siècles d’innovation » à la médiathèque Marguerite Duras, Paris 20e.
Cette exposition retrace l’histoire du braille, depuis son invention par Louis Braille au XIXe siècle jusqu’aux développements contemporains du braille informatique, musical ou électronique. À travers objets, dispositifs et récits, elle explore la manière dont cette invention a transformé l’accès à la lecture, à l’apprentissage et à la culture pour les personnes aveugles et malvoyantes.
La visite sera aussi l’occasion de découvrir différentes formes d’écriture et de transmission du savoir, ainsi que les enjeux d’accessibilité et d’inclusion liés à la lecture et à la culture.
Après la visite, pour celles et ceux qui le souhaitent, nous pourrons prolonger le moment autour d’un café ou d’un verre à proximité.

Battle of the personal agents
Join the Columbus AI community for a special event.
**Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works.
We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks.
This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations.
Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat.
But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
We’ll cover:
* What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot
* How agents break tasks into steps
* Where agents are genuinely useful today
* Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review
* How to design simple AI workflows for your own work
* A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish
No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
