Avenue AI Sessions - 1ª Edição
A Inteligência Artificial deixou de ser uma promessa para se tornar uma realidade que está otimizando processos e redefinindo estratégias em todas as áreas. Mas como saímos da teoria e aplicamos a IA para resolver problemas reais de negócio e de desenvolvimento?
Neste meetup, vamos compartilhar uma visão de dentro para fora, mostrando como a Avenue está aplicando IA no seu dia a dia.
Convidamos dois dos nossos maiores especialistas no assunto para compartilhar o que está acontecendo na prática.
**O que te espera:**
***• Estado da Arte em Sistemas Agênticos: a anatomia dos agentes de alta performance, com [Leonardo Soares](https://www.linkedin.com/in/soaresleo01/) (AI & Data Science Lead):***
A era da IA puramente conversacional ficou para trás; o mercado agora está imerso em IA Agêntica. Nesta sessão, vamos desconstruir a arquitetura dos sistemas autônomos que planejam, raciocinam e executam tarefas complexas. Mergulhando nas publicações científicas que definiram o Estado da Arte (SOTA) e trazendo os insights mais quentes do Google Cloud Next 2026, exploraremos casos de uso reais que estão transformando a indústria, além de aprendizados práticos do que já construímos e aplicamos aqui na Avenue.
***• AI Driven na engenharia da Avenue: De onde viemos, onde estamos e para onde vamos, com [Martin Pfeifer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-pfeifer) (Software Engineer, AI Team):***
A Guilda, a Guideline com seus 8 pilares, os workflows que realmente usamos no dia a dia (Cursor, gitStream, Spec-Kit, MCP), e como estamos medindo o impacto real com LinearB e DORA Metrics. Não é conversa sobre tendência — é o relato do que funcionou, do que ajustamos e de como qualquer engenheiro do time pode contribuir e evoluir junto.
***• Quality Engineering com IA, com [Gustavo Davis](http://www.linkedin.com/in/gustavo-araujo-davis)***
O Gustavo vai mostrar como a Engenharia de Qualidade na Avenue está transformando o QA de uma etapa do processo para um posicionamento estratégico. Ele vai contar um pouco sobre o "Projeto Minerva", uma plataforma de IA criada internamente que saiu da ideia para se tornar uma ferramenta do dia a dia.
Ele também irá compartilhar um pouco mais sobre outras idéias de como os QAs podem usar a Inteligência Artificial de forma estratégica.
**Informações Importantes:**
* Data: 04 de maio, às 19h
* Formato: 100% presencial
* Local: Escritório da Avenue - Rua Maria Carolina, 624, Jardim Paulistano, São Paulo
* Inscrições: Garanta sua vaga até o dia 04/05, ao meio-dia. Vagas limitadas!

Encontro In-person para prática de conversação em Inglês: Conversation meeting
Meeting tradicional do English Brazil para a prática do inglês em encontros presenciais.
Esse é um meeting que já é tradicional. Nos reunimos sempre em um local público para praticar conversação em inglês, e ficamos do lado de uma cafeteria para que você possa comprar o seu café enquanto conversa com a gente.
O objetivo é criar um ambiente descontraído e amigável para que todos possam praticar o inglês sem pressão. Não importa se você é iniciante ou avançado, todos são bem-vindos! Não é necessário confirmar presença, e o valor é de graça, também não cobramos nada para participar. Apenas apareça, mostre interesse, e alguém irá te convidar para puxar uma cadeira para perto da mesa para praticarmos.
Tradicionalmente nos reunimos sempre às sextas-feiras, dentro do Shopping Center 3 (ao lado da estação Consolação do metrô), no térreo, em frente à cafeteria Havanna Café. Sempre das 20h00 às 22h00, quando o shopping fecha. Então, se quiser praticar a conversação em inglês em um ambiente amigável e sem precisar estabelecer nenhum compromisso, este é o local certo!
\-\-\-
And foreigners are also welcome!
We Brazilians always have a very healthy curiosity to learn about your ideas, your experiences, and the differences in customs and languages. We are also, by nature, very willing to help foreigners feel more at ease here in Brazil. It's also a great opportunity to network and meet locals who can make you feel at home.
We always meet on Fridays, inside Shopping Center 3 (next to Consolação subway station), on the ground floor, in front of the Havanna Café. Always from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, when the mall closes.

CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
Practical AI for Power BI Developers
A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective.
This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly.
Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
Hofbräuhaus [ Thursday 6:00 ]
The aim of this group is to get together and practice our German. Doesn’t matter if are a beginner or a native speaker. The goal is to speak and improve our German. Everyone is welcome!
If the weather is good, look for us in the Biergarten.
Pro Tip: Get there before 6:00 for happy hour pricing.
Reiki Practice Circle: All Levels Welcome
Join us at Unity of Columbus for our Weekly Reiki Share, a peaceful and uplifting gathering for connection, healing, and growth. A Reiki Share is a time where Reiki practitioners and students come together to give and receive healing energy in a supportive and welcoming environment. These sessions will be moderated by Columbus Unity Reiki. Reiki is a hands-on energy healing method from Japan that first came to the United States in 1938. Since then, it has grown in popularity and is now widely practiced throughout the West.
All levels are welcome, and you do not need to be a practitioner at Unity of Columbus to attend. If you are a Reiki practitioner, a Reiki student, or simply interested in becoming a Reiki student, we warmly invite you to join us. Come practice your healing techniques, learn new approaches, receive healing energy, and connect with a like-minded community in a space of relaxation, renewal, and positive energy.
French conversation club

I will bring my laptop so we can look up new vocabulary as needed! The venue is a beautiful French restaurant so you can really get into the zone :)
Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
