Přijměte jeho srdeční pozvání!

Are you learning English as a second language and looking for a chance to practice? Join our **English Conversation Club**! We create a friendly atmosphere with **games and activities** designed to help you improve your conversational skills. Our goal is simple: **leave each session with new words and more confidence speaking English!** **Details:** * **Cost:** Free (bring some money to buy a drink at Tichá Kavárna) * **Frequency:** Meets regularly based on attendance * **Who:** Anyone studying or practicing English **Things to know:** Tichá Kavárna is a social enterprise café that creates jobs for the deaf community and connects the hearing and deaf worlds. Guests can order in sign language or simply point to the menu, making communication easy. Profits support services for the deaf and the café’s development. This event is sponsored by the church **Církev bratrská, Bohnice** [https://www.cbbohnice.cz](https://www.cbbohnice.cz/). We believe in helping others with practical needs—like learning English—while we live lives that reflect Jesus. At the end of each session, we’ll offer an open invitation for anyone interested in exploring faith, reading the Bible, or learning more about Jesus. **Participation in religious activities is completely optional.** We will never trick you into attending and will always be honest about the content of our meetings.

A straightforward, grounded men’s gathering about navigating difficult periods — stress, emotional heaviness, burnout, and the moments when life feels unclear. It’s a space where men talk honestly, listen to each other without judgment, and learn practical tools for staying steady during challenging phases. You can share or stay quiet — both are welcome. What matters is being in a room where you don’t have to pretend you’re fine. Good for men who want clarity, brotherhood, stability, and a real conversation about what’s actually going on under the surface. Facilitated by Zdeny Cibulka and Prabodh Prem. 300 CZK, https://vev.co/atma-community-space-praha

\#\# The Premise What if you could take any idea — half-baked, borrowed, ridiculous, too early, too late — and run it through a gauntlet of AI agents and sharp minds until it either becomes bulletproof or reveals exactly why it doesn't work? That's this meetup. \*\*The Hypothetical Agentic Unicorn Clinic\*\* is a structured, playful, and rigorous session where we take startup ideas — yours, someone else's, totally made up — and improve them in real time using agentic workflows, collective intelligence, and honest feedback. No judgment. No stakes. Just ideas getting better. \-\-\- \#\# Why "Hypothetical"? The hardest part of sharing an idea isn't the idea — it's the fear of being judged for having it. So we made it hypothetical. You're not pitching your life's work. You're not asking for funding. You're not committing to anything. You're running a \*\*thought experiment\*\*: \*What would it take for this idea to become a unicorn?\* That framing changes everything. When the idea is hypothetical, you can be honest. You can poke holes. You can say "this probably doesn't work because..." and someone else can say "unless you do X." You can disagree without it being personal. You can be wrong without it mattering. The best insights come when the stakes feel low enough to think clearly. Hypothetical Idea Submission Form https://form.typeform.com/to/CPRbn0RL \-\-\- \#\# What Actually Happens \*\*You bring an idea. Any idea.\*\* It could be: \- Something you've been sitting on but are afraid to say out loud \- A startup you saw and thought "that's almost right but\.\.\." \- A totally absurd concept you find interesting \- A real thing you're building and want to stress\-test anonymously \- Something an AI suggested to you that you couldn't stop thinking about \*\*We run it through the clinic.\*\* The group — with the help of AI agents — takes the idea through a structured improvement loop: 1\. \*\*Diagnosis\*\*: What's the actual insight here? What problem does this solve? 2\. \*\*Challenge\*\*: Where does this break? What assumptions is it making? 3\. \*\*Repair\*\*: How do we fix the broken parts without losing the core? 4\. \*\*Amplification\*\*: If this worked\, what would make it a unicorn? 5\. \*\*Verdict\*\*: Is it viable\, pivotable\, or dead on arrival — and why? Each round takes about 20 minutes. We run 4-6 ideas per session. \-\-\- \#\# The Role of AI Agents This is an agentic meetup — so agents do real work, not just window dressing. During the session, we'll use agents to: \- \*\*Research the market\*\* in real time: Is anyone building this? What does the landscape look like? \- \*\*Steelman the idea\*\*: Generate the strongest possible version of the argument for why this works \- \*\*Identify failure modes\*\*: Systematically surface the ways this breaks \- \*\*Propose pivots\*\*: Suggest modifications that preserve the core insight while fixing structural problems \- \*\*Draft a one\-pager\*\*: Turn the improved idea into a coherent pitch summary The agents accelerate the process and introduce angles the group might miss. The humans provide judgment, context, and the instinct for what actually matters. This is what governed agents with flexible orchestration looks like in practice — not automation replacing thinking, but amplifying it. Hypothetical Idea Submission Form https://form.typeform.com/to/CPRbn0RL \#\# Who Should Come You don't need to have a startup. You don't need to be a founder. You don't need to have the idea ready when you register. You should come if: \- You're curious about how AI agents can be used for real strategic thinking \- You want to practice the skill of rapid idea development and critique \- You enjoy building on other people's ideas and having yours built on \- You want to see agentic workflows in action\, not just hear about them \- You want to contribute to a room of builders who think seriously about ideas \*\*What we're looking for in participants:\*\* \- Technically literate enough to follow an agentic workflow \- Willing to be both generous and honest in feedback \- Comfortable with ambiguity and unfinished thinking \- Curious\, not defensive You don't have to be an expert. You have to be willing to think in public. \-\-\- \#\# Format & Practicalities \*\*Duration:\*\* 2-2.5 hours \*\*Format:\*\* In-person (Prague) with livestream option \*\*Ideas per session:\*\* 4–6 \*\*Each idea:\*\* \~20 minutes of structured clinic work \*\*Timeline:\*\* \- 18:00 — Doors open\, idea submissions collected \- 18:30 — Brief intro: the format\, the rules\, the spirit \- 18:45 — Clinic begins \(3–4 ideas\, 20 min each\) \- 20:15 — Open discussion: what did we learn? \- 20:30 — Drinks\, conversations\, follow\-ups \*\*How to submit an idea:\*\* Fill out a short form before the event (2 sentences max — idea + the core assumption). We select 3–4 ideas for the session. All submissions are treated with discretion. You can submit anonymously if you prefer. Hypothetical Idea Submission Form https://form.typeform.com/to/CPRbn0RL \#\# The Rules 1\. \*\*No bad ideas\.\*\* There are only ideas at different stages of development\. 2\. \*\*Critique the idea\, not the person\.\*\* "This doesn't work because X" not "you haven't thought this through\." 3\. \*\*Build before you destroy\.\*\* Steelman first\, then challenge\. 4\. \*\*Hypothetical protects everyone\.\*\* No one is committed to building what we discuss\. 5\. \*\*Confidentiality by default\.\*\* What's shared in the clinic stays in the clinic\. \-\-\- \#\# Why This Matters Most ideas die not because they're bad — but because the person holding them never found the right room to test them. The clinic is that room. It's also a live demonstration of what agentic tools can do for strategic thinking. Not AI replacing judgment, but AI extending it — doing the research, generating alternatives, stress-testing assumptions — so the humans in the room can focus on what they do best: connecting patterns, making calls, and knowing when something is worth pursuing. \*\*When execution becomes cheap, the premium moves to orientation.\*\* The clinic is practice for that skill.

**IMPORTANT**: to participate in the event, please register on Lu.ma – https://luma.com/83i9qgsy Hosted by **[Projector Global Community](https://www.linkedin.com/company/projector-global-community/?utm_source=luma), Le Comptoir Avalon - Paris and supported by [AI Collective Paris](https://www.aicollective.com/chapters/paris?utm_source=luma)**, this session explores how AI is reshaping the day-to-day reality of Product Managers and Designers—and what this means for roles, ownership, and collaboration inside modern product teams. ​Who owns discovery when AI can generate insights? Who defines the solution when design tools can prototype instantly? What even distinguishes product thinking from design thinking anymore? ​You’ll hear from: * ​\*\*[Vaska Vlahova](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vlahova/?utm_source=luma)\*\*, Staff Product Designer at [Qonto](https://qonto.com/en?utm_source=luma) * ​\*\*[Florian Herlicq](https://www.linkedin.com/in/florianherlicq/?utm_source=luma)\*\*, Lead Product Manager at [Orus](https://www.orus.eu/?utm_source=luma) * ​\*\*[Justine Potin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/justine-potin-1ab9a437/?utm_source=luma)\*\*, Product Manager at [Finary](https://finary.com/en?utm_source=luma) ​**Moderated by:** * ​\*\*[Kate Mas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-mas/?skipRedirect=true&utm_source=luma),\*\* Career Strategist at [messy careers](https://katemas.me/?utm_source=luma) (ex-Qonto, ex-Preply) — guiding the discussion on blurred boundaries and future-ready skills in product and design ​This isn’t a “Product Manager vs Designer” debate. It’s a conversation about what happens when traditional role boundaries stop making sense. ​**What we’ll explore:** * ​Where Product Manager and Design responsibilities are already merging * ​How AI is changing product discovery, decision-making, and execution * ​The risks of blurred ownership (and how to avoid them) * ​What skills will actually matter going forward * ​How to operate effectively in a world where roles are less defined ​Expect a candid, practical discussion—less theory, more real-world shifts you’re likely already feeling. ​Come if you’re a Product Manager, Designer, or product leader trying to make sense of your role in this transition—and what to do about it. ​**A friendly note:** Guests are encouraged to buy a drink to support our hosts **Le Comptoir Avalon**. ​**Agenda** * ​18:30 — Doors open * ​19:00–19:10 — Intro * ​19:10–20:10 — Panel (60 min) * ​20:10–20:25 — Audience Q&A * ​20:25–21:30 — Networking ​**The event will be held in English.**

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?
