🤝 [N26](https://www.meetup.com/n26-tech-product-design-events-in-barcelona/) is very happy to invite you to discover how AI agents development works, this time with special guests from **Intent HQ.** ❗**Please provide your full legal name when registering - otherwise you will not be allowed entry to the event.** **Be ready to show a photo ID at your arrival, exactly matching the name you provided** 🚀 **Talk description** Join us for an evening exploring real-world lessons from rebuilding a product around AI agents. We'll share the journey from early assistant failures to production agentic workflows including the organizational shifts, technical decisions, and hard-won insights along the way. At the helm we’ll have two guest speakers: **🗣Claudia Teres, Lead Product Engineer @ Intent HQ, Barcelona, Spain** Claudia is a skilled software engineer helping bridge the gap between product and tech, currently leading the development efforts of Intent HQ’s agentic product. **🗣Manuel Fidalgo, Senior Machine Learning Engineer @ Intent HQ, Barcelona, Spain** Manuel is a hands-on machine learning engineer whose main focus is the development of agents, tools and the infrastructure surrounding these, empowering other engineers and data scientists to deliver the right value in the GenAI context. **What we'll cover:** **🎯 The Product Journey:** Why we chose to rebuild rather than iterate, how we validated the new vision with a constrained POC, and why making agent reasoning visible in the UI became critical to user experience. **⚙️ The Technical Deep-Dive:** Finding the balance between deterministic and non-deterministic actions, designing agent boundaries, toolsets vs MCPservers, managing context windows, and building guardrails that actually work. We'll also discuss high-impact bets (A2A, MCP), cross-functional team dynamics, and why speed of learning beats perfection in fast-moving AI spaces. 🗓 **Agenda:** **18:00: Reception** **18:30: Event introduction** **18:45: Product talk** **19:30: Tech talk** **20:15: Networking & Pizzas** **21:00: Session Ends** 📣 **Facilitators:** **Jose Alamo, Senior Machine Learning Engineer @ N26, Barcelona, Spain** Jose is a machine learning engineer at N26, currently working on the AI platform team.

Ask Eli — is a problem-solving comedy show. Eli and two other comedians answer the questions that concern the audience. The topics can be both sensitive and funny. The intention is to make a joke about it but also give a piece of advice that might even be useful! If you have a problem, a sense of humor, and self-irony, please come to the show! Together we will make fun of your messy roommate, talkative coworker, or unbelievably narcissistic ex! Remember, we’re not therapists! Also, not all therapists are therapists. If you are really struggling, please get the help of a professional specialist. Anyway! Eli is waiting for you and your stories. The show is "Pay What You Want", so bring as many friends as you can; it is practically a free therapy session! Meanwhile, you can follow us on Instagram: @askelishow.

**Conferencia 🎯 Encuentra tu Propósito** **Claves para dar dirección a tu vida** El propósito no es una idea abstracta: es la brújula que da sentido, coherencia y energía a todo lo que haces. Es la dirección que sigues en tu vida y que todo el mundo debería tener determinada con claridad y compromiso. En esta **conferencia con teoría y ejercicios**, abordaremos cómo conectar con un propósito, clarificar tus valores, intereses y encontrar un camino personal y/o profesional hacia tu objetivos. Durante la sesión exploraremos: **✅ Qué es realmente el propósito** — y por qué no se “inventa”, sino que se revela. **✅ Misión, visión y valores personales** — los pilares sobre los que construir tu vida. **✅ Metas y objetivos con sentido** — cómo definirlos desde la identidad, no desde la presión externa. **✅ Cómo encontrar o elegir tu propósito** — claves prácticas y preguntas de autoconocimiento. **✅ Técnicas para determinar tu propósito** — Coaching, PNL, IKIGAI. **Formato:** conferencia presencial **Instructor**: Alejandro Alonso **Linkedin**: [www.linkedin.com/in/aalonsoas](www.linkedin.com/in/aalonsoas) 👉 **Colaboración**: 5€ (Esta conferencia se impartirá dentro del espacio redConsciencia. Se pedirá una colaboración para la agrupación, en concepto de costes de sala y costes de organización) ***

En esta conferencia combinaremos una mirada profunda de autoconocimiento con un enfoque práctico de desarrollo personal, para ayudarte a dar claridad y sentido a tu vida, tanto a nivel personal como profesional. Exploraremos el propósito desde una doble perspectiva: por un lado, como algo que se descubre al mirar hacia dentro; y por otro, como algo que se construye a través de decisiones, acción y compromiso. Durante la sesión trabajaremos: ✅ Qué es realmente el propósito — y cómo descubrirlo y definirlo ✅ Misión, visión y valores personales — la base de una vida coherente ✅ El enfoque IKIGAI — alineando lo que amas, en lo que eres bueno, lo que el mundo necesita y lo que puede sostenerte ✅ Metas y objetivos con sentido — cómo definirlos desde tu identidad, no desde la presión externa ✅ Claves prácticas de autoconocimiento — preguntas y dinámicas para avanzar con claridad ✅ Herramientas de Coaching y PNL para orientar tu camino Será un espacio para reflexionar, ordenar ideas y empezar a trazar una dirección más consciente y alineada contigo. **Ponente:** Alejandro Alonso - Coach **Colaboración**: 5€ (costes de sala y organización) **Formato**: Presencial y participativo.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

Bring your business cards and network in person with other business professionals! Gold Star Referral Clubs is one of the most established professional networking organizations in the country, with multiple groups in central Ohio. Join us!

Our Golden Lotus Meditation & Lecture Cancelled! We will resume next Sunday April 26th. Hope to see you then. Until then remember to Meditate and do your Kriyas

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
