**Friday is our open co-working day.** **​**People come to work on their own projects, take breaks together, and usually stay through the afternoon. It’s quiet, focused, and builder- and founder-led. ​You can arrive anytime from 10AM. Most people show up after lunch and settle in before 1.30pm. Bring your laptop. Grab any open seat. Stay as long as you like. ​At 1.30pm, we pause work briefly for a shared session called The Stage, then everyone goes back to working. ​This is how Fridays here work. **The Stage @ 1.30PM** *The Stage is a short, open-format session where builders and founders share something they are actively working on. A workflow, a technical breakdown, a lesson learned, or just a topic keeping him/her up at night.* *The goal is to spark ideas you can try immediately after, during the same afternoon. After the session ends, most people simply open their laptops again and continue working.* [Michelle Lo Horton](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-lo-horton/) ​Founder & Chief Story Teller, [StoryARC](https://www.michellelohorton.com/) [​Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/michellelohorton/?hl=en) This week we switch gears away from our usual technical sharing to something more human. Michelle will be sharing how to tell stories that matter and how to create content that generates business outcomes for real businesses in the AI age. ​Michelle Lo Horton is a brand strategist and thought leader specializing in business storytelling for founders. Michelle works with technical founders and business owners across B2B and B2C sectors, helping them transform product narratives into competitive advantages. Her clients include AI companies, SaaS founders, and D2C brands looking to build defensible market positions through strategic storytelling. In the age of AI, building products has never been easier, or less differentiated. Everyone's vibe-coding similar solutions, which means technical excellence alone no longer guarantees market success. The new competitive advantage? Being essential to your audience's thinking, not just present in their feed. ​ This session introduces the ARC (Audience Relationship Capital) framework, a proprietary 0-30 quantitative methodology developed by Michelle. It's a framework that measures whether content builds commercial trust or just collects vanity metrics or generating noise. * ​The problem: Why product differentiation has collapsed and what that means for go-to-market strategy. * ​The evidence: Data patterns from founders showing the gap between attention metrics and business outcomes. * ​The framework: How to measure and build the three trust vectors that predict commercial success (Memory, Familiarity, Intent) * ​Practical application: The R↔C Weave methodology for technical founders—balancing relatability and competence without swinging to extremes ​Designed specifically for builders who prefer technical content, this session makes the commercial case for why storytelling isn't marketing fluff, it's your defensible moat. ​Three tangible takeaways: * ​A diagnostic tool: The ARC Score framework (0-30 scale) to audit whether your current content strategy is building commercial trust or just collecting vanity metrics * ​A mental model shift: Understanding that in AI-commoditized markets, distribution beats differentiation, and strategic storytelling is how you win distribution * ​An action step: A specific 30-day content audit method to identify which trust vector (Memory, Familiarity, or Intent) is your weakest, and therefore where your growth opportunity lives. ​After the session, we go back to work or hang out to network. --- **RSVP here >** https://luma.com/fxklskiu?utm_source=meetup

## Build an AI Backend ​Chatbots are frontend. The interesting question is: what happens when AI moves into your backend? ​Not a copilot. Not a chat widget. A reasoning layer that sits alongside your services - making decisions that used to be hardcoded, replacing brittle if-else chains with logic that actually understands context. ​[AgentField](https://umami-production-286d.up.railway.app/q/qu0EUyujU) is infrastructure for this. Agents that share memory without Redis. Agents that find each other without service registries. Just Python/typescript functions - no DAGs, no YAML, no workflow definitions. ​Come build something that belongs in a backend, not a chat window. ​**The Workshop:** ​In one hour, you'll build a system where multiple agents research a topic in parallel, share what they find, and go deeper where it matters. ​Not by wiring up message queues. Not by defining DAG configs. You'll write Python (or typescript) functions, and the coordination just happens. * ​**Reasoners** \- Functions where AI makes decisions * ​**Skills** \- Functions where code does the work * ​**Memory** \- State that flows between agents automatically * ​**Discovery** \- Agents call each other by name\, routing happens ​By the end, you'll have a working deep research system - the same pattern that powers everything from due diligence pipelines to adaptive content generation. ​Want to try it before the hackathon? [Join our Discord](https://discord.com/invite/aBHaXMkpqh) \- ask questions\, get help if you get stuck\, or just say hi\. ​**What makes this different:** * ​**Memory without infrastructure** \- Memory that works across all your agents\. No Redis\, no Postgres\, no config\. * ​**Agents find each other** \- Discovery engine routes automatically\. No service registry setup\. * ​**Reasoners vs Skills** \- AI decides\, code executes\. Clean separation that's easy to test and reason about\. * ​**Just simple** \- No workflow DSLs\. No DAG definitions\. Write functions\, decorate them\, done\. ​**The Challenge:** ​Rethink what AI applications look like after the chatbot. ​The chatbot was AI-as-interface: human inputs, AI responds. The AI backend is AI-as-infrastructure: agents that make decisions, share context, and do work - whether a human is watching or not. ​Build the application that exists on the other side of that shift. ​**🏆 Prizes:** ​$2,000 USD in OpenRouter credits: * ​1st Place: $1,000 * ​2nd Place: $600 * ​3rd Place: $400 **⚡ Agenda:** * ​10:00 AM - Kickoff + Workshop: From Hello World to Deep Research * ​10:30 AM - Team formation + hacking begins * ​12:00 PM - Lunch * ​3:30 PM - Hacking ends / Live demos (3 min per team) * ​4:30 PM - Winners announced * ​5:00 PM - Close **Who should come:** * ​You've built chatbots and want to build something deeper * ​You're curious what AI looks like when it's not a UI feature * ​You want to replace some hardcoded logic with reasoning * ​You just like building things ​Python or TypeScript. No agent experience needed. ​**How we'll judge:** 1. ​**New problem space** \- Is this AI\-as\-infrastructure in a domain we haven't seen? Show us something beyond chatbots\. 2. ​**Replaced complexity** \- Did you simplify an architecture that was previously a mess of services\, queues\, or hardcoded rules? Does it make sense cost\-wise? 3. ​**High leverage** \- Either high volume \(worth automating\) or high stakes \(worth reasoning about\)\. Bonus if both\. 4. ​**Previously impossible** \- Does this enable something that couldn't exist before? Not just faster or cheaper \- genuinely new\. **💡 What could you build?** * ​**Pricing that adapts in real-time** \- Considers inventory\, demand\, and competition \(for example\) simultaneously\. Reasoning and autonomous\, not rules\. * ​**Supply chain that coordinates** \- Shortage detected\, alternatives evaluated\, routes recalculated\, alerts sent\. * ​**Code Security Review for PR** \- Every PR launching and finding complex security threats and patterns that are non\-trivial ​Build something we haven't thought of here, and you have your own startup at hand ! ​**📚 Resources:** * ​Docs: [agentfield.ai/docs](https://agentfield.ai/docs/?utm_campaign=hackaton_1&utm_source=aibuilders&utm_medium=hackaton&utm_id=hack_sing-1&utm_content=docs-cta) * ​GitHub: [github.com/Agent-Field/agentfield](https://umami-production-286d.up.railway.app/q/qu0EUyujU) * ​Discord: [Join](https://discord.com/invite/aBHaXMkpqh) to prep and find teammates * ​Deep Research Guide: [Build your first system](https://umami-production-286d.up.railway.app/q/qu0EUyujU) * ​Blog: [The AI Backend](https://agentfield.ai/blog/posts/ai-backend/?utm_campaign=hackaton_1&utm_source=aibuilders&utm_medium=hackaton&utm_id=hack_sing-1&utm_content=blog-cta) **🤝 Hosts:** * ​**AgentField** \- Backend infrastructure layer for autonomous AI\. * ​**AI Builders** \- Community of engineers building the future of AI\. ⚠️ Limited spots.

Some quiet morning time doing writing / working at a cafe.

Welcome! Gist below! :-) 1. Bring a book to the meet! 2. Buy a drink (and a bite if you're hungry). 3. Say hi to the folks. 4. Read! 5. We'll do a short round of intros and a short sharing at the end too. :) Come in and find us (we're probably the only reading group)! In the event that the place is full, we'll find a back up nearby. :-) This is a limited seats, small group event, so do try to update your RSVP early if your plans change! Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! We organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but feel working alone at home can get a bit lonely :-) To ensure that we have both socialising AND working, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat, we typically do up to 3 rounds. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro (please come on time)** Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\) Each Pomodoro session consists of 50min of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) -> then 10min of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. -> Repeat * **Wrap Up and dinner (optional)** Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— Location is Two Blur Guys (387 Jln Besar, Singapore 209002). We have booked a separate room with a big table screen at the end of the cafe space, just walk all the way through when you walk in, or ask the barista. Wifi + power plugs are there but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case 🙃 You DO NOT have to pay anything, but since we are using the café space, it would be common courtesy to buy at least one drink. Please remember to release your RSVP in case you are not able to make it for the people on the waitlist and looking forward to seeing you there! :) Note: RSVP-ing and then no show will result in penalties: 1 No show = warning 2 No shows = de-prioritized for those in waitlist 3 No shows = blocked from future events Cheers Vicente

**PART I: Purpose exiled** According to Plato, our theories about the world should ‘carve nature at its joints’. *Telos*, the once plausible idea that purpose is a part of the natural order of things, has been steadily banished with the triumph of successive scientific theories in the modern age, culminating in the mechanism of evolution by natural selection and its accompanying metaphor of the blind watchmaker. Here, fitness, defined as the ability to survive and reproduce, is the sole arbiter of design in nature, acquired through so much as the blind lotteries of genetic variation. The momentary surprise that one even scientifically inclined feels at some marvelous specimen of evolution, for example the finesse of a Gray’s leaf insect mimicking not just a leaf but its brown and dying spots to better camouflage against predation ([https://www.biodiversitysingapore.com/in-focus/](https://www.biodiversitysingapore.com/in-focus/)), is to be utterly dispelled by belief in the creative potential of random mutations offering themselves up to selection pressures over geological spans of time. **Emergence: ‘more is different’** Contemplating how mind and intelligence came to be within such a setting presents further aesthetic tension (the mind of everyday experience exclaims, that sounds crazy!). Emergence (1) is a relatively recent concept that purports to explain phenomena like mind while undergirding it with a non-negotiable physicalist ontology. The essence of emergence is that through scaling of individual components, a system acquires so-called novel bases - new foundations upon which regularities can be encoded that were not possible at the lower levels. For example, neurons individually fire action potentials based on the threshold dynamics of local stimuli. Collectively however, groups of neurons fire according to abstract patterns termed ‘basins of attraction’ that represent long-range stable states and may be foundational to concepts like memory (2). Conway’s game of life, anchored by a set of very simple rules, presents a powerful illustration of this dynamic: [https://conwaylife.appspot.com/pattern/gosperglidergun](https://conwaylife.appspot.com/pattern/gosperglidergun) There is a folk account of emergence popular with science writers that goes something like this: while the physics of the system is completely known, predicting what is going to happen is near-impossible just with physics, because there is novel stuff happening at ‘higher’ levels. Importantly, no God or designer directed the organization at the higher levels, but it is not discernible anywhere else. *What does it mean to take seriously a universe in which purpose is nowhere fundamental, yet everywhere invoked?* **PART II: Purpose reconsidered** And yet, there are radical perspectives afoot. Without invoking external designers, some contemporary thinkers argue that natural selection and emergence may not exhaust the explanatory story. Developmental biologist Michael Levin (3) and evolutionary scientist Richard Watson (4) suggest that the mechanisms generating variation themselves may be structured, biased, or even goal-directed, analogous to neural or social learning processes. Levin introduced so-called biobots, which are multicellular living structures assembled from human lung epithelium. Biobots exhibit coordinated movement and problem-solving in novel environments despite having no evolutionary lineage that selected for such behaviors (5). Adaptation appears immediately, as if the system were exploring possibilities rather than stumbling upon them. *Does this point toward a universe where purpose was never fully absent to begin with?* Join us this Saturday as we grapple with where purpose truly lies in nature. **References** 1.

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

Share it with us! We love to open our networks to one another and grow together! Guests are always welcome. Please contact Mentor Director Donna Schomer at Donna@EvolveWomensNetwork.com for more information. We'd love to meet you!

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
