AI is changing the way we build software. Agentic Software Engineering takes this a step further. Rather than using AI only for isolated tasks, teams work with specialized AI agents that take on concrete responsibilities across the software lifecycle, from planning and coding to testing and documentation. These agents operate in clearly defined roles and are coordinated through structured workflows. Developers set the goals and guardrails, guide how the agents are used, and review the outcomes. The result is a new kind of collaboration between humans and machines, with a stronger focus on quality, speed, and scalability. The first Agentic Software Engineering Night Berlin will take place on **April 14, 2026**. Join us for two talks by **Torben Keller** and **Johannes Rave**, plus plenty of time for discussion and networking. **Agenda:** 18:30 Open Doors 19:00 **From Vibe Coder to Code Owner** – Torben Keller An AI agent can generate thousands of lines of code in a few minutes. That's powerful – and overwhelming. You can't read and fully understand every line anymore when you want to take advantage of agents. But if you're shipping to production, you own that code. So, how do you take responsibility for something you didn't write and can't fully review? This isn't a new problem. Developers working on brownfield projects face it every day. You join a team and inherit a codebase with hundreds of thousands of lines written by people who left years ago. You don't know every line – yet you ship features, fix bugs, and take ownership. But how? The same principles apply to AI-generated code. What we've learned from decades of working with legacy systems and inherited codebases translates directly to the age of vibe coding. In this talk, you'll learn: * What brownfield development teaches us about owning code we didn't write * How to build an "Agent Harness" that integrates these practices into your AI workflow, ensuring agents follow your rules and standards **About Torben:** *Torben is a consultant at INNOQ, where he focuses on how software teams can work effectively with AI agents. His main area of expertise is the shift from traditional coding to Agentic Software Engineering, in which developers orchestrate multiple AI agents to carry out autonomous tasks across the development process. He also teaches INNOQ’s three-day [Agentic Software Engineering training](https://www.innoq.com/en/topics/agentic-software-engineering-training/) and regularly speaks at conferences and meetups, where he shares practical insights and proven strategies for introducing agentic development approaches.* 19:45 Break 20:00 – **No Constrain, No Gain: Structure for the Agent, Clarity for the Human, Flexibility for the Business** – Johannes Rave AI coding agents are remarkably good at producing code. Whether that code reflects what the business actually needs — and whether it still makes sense to work with six months later — is a rather different question. The temptation is to treat this as a prompting problem — give the agent more context, better instructions, clearer goals. An overlooked lever is paying attention to architecture. When domain logic has its own clearly bounded home, separated from the technical plumbing around it, something interesting happens: the agent stays focused, the human can actually review what matters, and the whole thing remains open to change without requiring a rewrite. This talk shares one approach to getting there — and how some well-placed constraints might set you free. **About Johannes:** *Johannes Rave is a Senior Consultant at INNOQ. He develops LLM-first applications and high-performance web services. He connects design and usability with scalable architecture and operations. Before tech: industrial design, automotive modeling, and running a nightclub.* 20:45 Open End

Dear Community, Another month with two great talks in the agenda. This time we are meeting at our home **NLND Berlin**, with one talk covering AWS AgentCore while the second one about Redshift Data sharing. =================================================== 18:30 - Warming up and networking chat 18:45 - Intro by AWS UG Berlin & NLND 19:00 - 19:40 - **Gamei Chin & Milad Rezaeighale // The Diabetes Sweet Spot: Using AWS AgentCore to Empower Data-driven Lifestyle Decisions** This session is about building production-ready agentic workflows with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore—from running agents securely at scale on a managed Runtime, to exposing and orchestrating tools via AgentCore Gateway (including MCP-based tooling), adding different types of memory for context and personalization, and enforcing security and governance with Identity and Policy for controlled tool access. It ends with a live demo of a practical use case: an agentic app for glucose monitoring, showing the end-to-end workflow and monitoring in action. 19:40 - 20:00 - Networking break with food, snacks and drinks 20:00 - 20:40 - **Jirka Hubacek // Breaking Down Monolithic Redshift Using Data Shares** As data platforms scale, managing competing workloads in Amazon Redshift becomes increasingly challenging. Traditional WLM (Workload Management) often isn’t enough to effectively prioritize traffic — you end up facing a classic “chicken and egg” problem: should ETL pipelines or client-facing queries get priority? With the introduction of Redshift Data Sharing, there’s now a more flexible approach — you can create multiple Redshift instances that consume data from a shared source, isolating workloads without duplicating storage. 20:40 - 20:45 - Closing & Final Remarks =================================================== **Very Important: There is no "waitlist" for our regular sessions.** However, there are limited seats available. If you want to make sure you can attend: Register yourself with your "full name" here at meetup.com Arrive on time - seats are first come, first serve. As soon as there are seats available, you are welcome to join with your registration. In case there are no more seats available, we won't be able to let you join us this time.We thank you very much for your understanding! ================================== Additional Information **This event is wheelchair friendly.** Help us spread the word, and invite your friends & colleagues!

**KI x Nachhaltigkeit: Wer baut mit?** **Arbeitstreffen in Berlin** Ich organisiere ein kleines, fokussiertes Treffen für Menschen, die sich bereits intensiver mit KI im Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement in Unternehmen beschäftigen und Interesse haben, daraus konkrete Anwendungen gemeinsam weiterzuentwickeln. Nach einem kurzen Kennenlernen schauen wir auf konkrete Anwendungsfälle aus der Praxis und diskutieren, ob und in welcher Form Zusammenarbeit sinnvoll sein kann. Eine Moderatorin begleitet den Austausch. **Für wen?** Für Menschen mit praktischer Erfahrung an der Schnittstelle von KI und Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement in Unternehmen — zum Beispiel in Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement, Beratung, Datenarbeit, Automatisierung oder Tool- bzw. Produktentwicklung — und mit Interesse daran, Dinge gemeinsam umzusetzen. Bringt gern einen konkreten Use Case, eine Fragestellung oder eine Idee aus eurer Praxis mit. *** **English** **AI x Sustainability: Who Wants to Build Together?** **Working Session in Berlin** I’m organizing a small, focused gathering for people who are already working more deeply at the intersection of AI and corporate sustainability management and are interested in developing concrete applications together. After a short introduction, we’ll look at practical use cases and discuss whether, and in what form, collaboration could make sense. The session will be supported by a moderator. **Who is this for?** For people with practical experience at the intersection of AI and corporate sustainability management — for example in sustainability management, consulting, data work, automation, or tool or product development — and an interest in building things together. Feel free to bring a concrete use case, question, or idea from your own practice.

The course will start this Saturday at 10am. It will be in studio R at CCB studios. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/rFovxE7eG7HV6uB46](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rFovxE7eG7HV6uB46). Buzz for CCB studios and then walk through to the second courtyard. We will try to start right around 10. There will be tea available. Please dress in comfortable clothes, maybe wearing a few layers. Theres some blankets, yoga mats, cushions and chairs in the room that you can use. The plan will be for us to do some small discussions at the top and then start discussing theory before doing some meditations of increasing length and then closing with some time for Q & A. We will take a short break in the middle as well. The plan is to go from 10-12 roughly but we may end a little closer to 11:30 depending. This week will function primarily as a simple introduction to meditation and some topics in the space but we will also discuss what the Jhanas are. Looking forward! Any questions please just message me.

Curious about “vibe coding” but not sure what it actually means? This beginner-friendly talk is about how people are using AI to build websites, apps, automations, and small software projects by describing what they want in plain English. We’ll cover what vibe coding is, what AI is good at, where it falls short, and how to actually use it without getting lost. The goal is not to hype AI as magic — it’s to show how to use it as a practical tool. This session is designed for beginners, curious builders, non-programmers, and developers who want a clearer picture of how to build with AI today. Topics include: * What “vibe coding” means * What AI can help you build * Where AI is useful and where it is unreliable * A simple workflow for building with AI * Prompting tips for better results * Common beginner mistakes to avoid If you’ve ever thought, “I have an idea, but I don’t know how to build it,” this talk is for you. 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.

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.

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
