Learning Czech can be hard and demotivating, especially when studying alone. **This meetup is a shared study session where we come together to stay focused, motivated, and make progress — each in our own way.** This is a co-learning / co-studying session, not a class. There is no teacher, no lesson, and no study material provided. Everyone comes with their own resources and studies independently, in a shared environment. 🧠 **How it works** • We all bring our own material: • textbooks • homework from a Czech course • Duolingo or other apps • reading practice • vocabulary review, etc. • We mainly work individually • We are free to: • ask questions • help each other • share tips and resources • No teacher, no formal structure, no pressure 👥 **Who is it for?** • Czech learners of all levels • Non-Czech speakers (expats, internationals) • Czech native speakers are welcome if they want to help, but this is not a language exchange ⏱ **Practical info** • Location: Cafedu 12, Škrétova 490, 120 00 Praha 2 (Metro A and C, Muzeum station) • Duration: 2 hours, or less or more, as you want • Day & time: Monday, 18:00 • Group size: small group for now • Free event — please support the café by ordering a drink ☕ If you’re learning Czech and lack motivation when studying alone, come join us — let’s find it together 🙂

How are community builders actually using AI in their day-to-day work—beyond the hype and into real workflows? ​Join us for a Community Chatter focused on practical AI tools and approaches that help teams move faster, support their people better, and rethink how communities grow. This session brings together speakers who have built and deployed their own AI-powered solutions—from editorial coaching agents and community automation stacks to internal knowledge assistants employees actually trust. ​You’ll hear how AI is being used to: * ​turn rough ideas into publishable content without bottlenecks * ​better understand and manage growing communities * ​create reliable, accessible knowledge systems inside organizations ​**Speakers & Talks** ​[Jan Meissne](https://www.linkedin.com/in/necasjiri/?utm_source=luma)[r](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan-meissner/?utm_source=luma) *Coaching, Not Gatekeeping: Building an AI Editorial Agent for Our R&D Blog* The more AI handles the routine, the more the human stuff matters. This talk is a small story inside that bigger one. A year ago, this would have been a favour I'd ask a senior engineer for - and then keep bothering them about every time something broke. Instead, I built it myself: an AI-powered editorial coach that helps our engineers, PMs and designers turn rough ideas into publishable blog posts. Azure Functions, React, Claude. Things I'd nodded along to at conferences for years and never expected to actually touch. I'll share how it was structured, tuned, and what it changed about how people write and publish. Although I hit a token limit in Claude Code halfway through. It's in production anyway. ​[Láďa Vašek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ladislav-vasek/?locale=en&utm_source=luma) *From Chat to Code: How We Run a 500-Member Community with AI (Without Being a Developer)* A practical, no-code journey through building and running a community with AI tools. Láďa will walk through his stack and share a surprising insight: not all members matter equally—and AI can help you figure out who actually does. ​[Jirka Nečas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/necasjiri/?utm_source=luma) *Good Input Means Good Output: How We Built an AI Agent Employees Actually Trust* A behind-the-scenes look at building an internal AI assistant that employees actually use. Jirka will show how leveraging existing data, analyzing real employee questions, and embracing imperfect systems can lead to a reliable, everyday knowledge tool. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ​This event is organized for the Czech community of community builders, especially those working with engineering and tech teams—but everyone curious about practical AI in community and team enablement is welcome.

**🔥 TechTalk #5** Každá generace má svůj „konec světa“. Někdy to byla jaderná válka. Někdy internet. **Dnes je to AI.** Jedni říkají, že zachrání svět. Druzí, že vezme práci a zničí IT. Realita bývá vždycky někde mezi. Proto tentokrát nechceme keynote ani marketing. Chceme otevřenou technickou debatu o tom, co AI skutečně dělá s vývojem, architekturou a odpovědností za software. **🔥PANELOVÍ HOSTÉ NA ROŠTU:** **🗣️ #1 - [Jan Sládek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/honzasladek/) (CEO [contember](https://www.contember.com/))** **🗣️ #2 - [Michael Žabka](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-zabka) (CTO [signageOS](https://www.signageos.io/))** 🗣️ **#3 - [Miloš Čermák](https://x.com/cermak) (novinář v [jednoprocento](https://www.jednoprocento.cz/))** **TÉMATA Z APOKALYPTICKÉ KUCHYNĚ:** 🔥 Budeme **rozumět kódu**, který AI generuje? 🔥 Jak budeme dělat code review něčemu, čemu **nikdo nerozumí**? 🔥 Je **halucinace** stále téma nebo pomalu **zaniká**? 🔥 Security, agent **prompt injection**, úniky kódu a porušování **vlastnického práva**. 🔥 Dříve jsme byli **placení za psaní** kódu; teď jsme **placení za čtení** a kontrolu. 🔥 **Junioři** se nemohou **nic naučit**. 🔥 Anthropic si může napsat **všechen software světa** sám! 🔥 Explozivní růst **technického dluhu** maskovaný produktivitou. 🔥 Tiché **selhávání AI projektů**, o kterých se **veřejně nemluví**. **Podíváme se na to, co dnes AI skutečně dělá s vývojem** – od generování kódu, testů a návrhů architektury přes explozivní růst objemu kódu, kterému už nikdo pořádně nerozumí, až po nový typ technického dluhu maskovaný produktivitou. **Nebudeme řešit, jestli nám AI vezme práci. Budeme řešit, jak se změní odpovědnost za software a jak udržet kvalitu systémů v době, kdy stále větší část kódu vzniká strojově.** Panel bude proložen krátkou technickou přednáškou z praxe: * ⚡ **(překvapení)** 🪢 Celým večerem vás bude opět provázet **[Marek Velas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marek-velas)** (**[edupunk.cz](https://www.edupunk.cz/)**), který se postará o to, aby diskuze nepřešla v generování náhodných výkřiků a měla spád. \#\#\#\# KDY A KDE: * 📅 **Datum:** Ve středu 20. 5. 2026 * ⏰ **Čas:** 18:30 - 22:00 * 📍 **Místo:** signageOS s.r.o., Evropská 11/2758, Praha 6-Dejvice Těšíme se na setkání!

As many of you already know [1touch.io](http://1touch.io%2A%2A/) has joined Everpure to combine its AI-driven data discovery and classification capabilities with Everpure’s global scale, accelerating the delivery of next-generation data management solutions. This meetup will be special! **Speaker:** **[Ashish Gupta](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashishgupta2025/)** - CEO and President of [1touch.io](http://1touch.io/) Ashish drives a bold vision to redefine how enterprises discover, understand, and secure sensitive data in the age of AI. A dynamic and highly regarded technology leader, he brings more than two decades of experience scaling high-growth companies across cybersecurity, enterprise software, and data infrastructure. Prior to joining [1touch.io](http://1touch.io/), Ashish served as CEO of Bugcrowd, where he accelerated the company’s growth, strengthened its market position, and expanded its platform to meet the evolving demands of modern security teams. His earlier leadership roles at global technology companies including Microsoft, Infoblox, Genesys, Actian, and Vidyo reflect a consistent track record of building innovative products, leading high-performing teams, and delivering impactful go-to-market strategies. He now joins Everpure as the General Manager of Data Management. **Talk:** Ashish will talk about why, in today’s AI world, the quality and structure of your data directly impact how well your models actually perform, and why many organizations are still limited by the way their data is set up. He’ll break down why traditional systems fall short and introduce knowledge graphs as a critical foundation for modern AI - connecting data through relationships, not just storing it in isolated tables. Instead of fragmented datasets, you get a connected view: customers linked to purchases, products tied to categories, and patterns that AI can actually understand and act on. You’ll see how this approach brings real-world context into your data, enabling smarter use cases like better recommendations, stronger fraud detection, and more meaningful insights. Ashish will also explain how adding a semantic layer transforms raw data into actionable intelligence, helping AI systems make more accurate predictions by understanding how things relate, not just what they are. If you're working on AI (or planning to) this session will show you why this isn’t just an upgrade, it’s the foundation for making AI actually work. **Time Agenda:** 17:30–18:00 – Doors open and registration with snacks and beer 18:00–19:00 – Talk 19:00–20:00 – Networking time 20:00 – Doors close

We’re shipping faster than ever… and also explaining way more why things didn’t turn out quite right 😄 This Product Tank brings two sides of the same story: 👉 How to survive (and function) as a PM in AI chaos 👉 How to write specs that AI can actually build from Talks: 🎤 Jindra Regál () You Are the Ultimate Product: Creating Value in Non-Tech Fields In the AI era, everything gets built multiple times a day. So what problems are still worth solving? After working with companies like Avast, Productboard, Better Stack, Ataccama, and BottleCap AI, I found the most meaningful work came from solving small, practical problems for real people and businesses. A talk about applying product thinking outside IT companies, expanding your perspective beyond software, and learning to treat yourself, your skills, curiosity, and adaptability, as the ultimate product to manage. ⸻ 🎤 Jakub Elias (Similarweb) PMing in the AI era PMs are having an identity crisis. Designers prototype with AI. Engineers spec with AI. You hear about CEOs shipping features from the back of an Uber. So what's left for you? Turns out, still quite a lot. This talk is about what the job actually becomes when building gets cheap and deciding gets hard. How the trio holds together when everyone's on everyone else's turf. How to keep a roadmap alive when the ground shifts every few weeks. And lastly, what's now expected of a PM - being a real builder. ⸻ 🎤 Dominik Ilichman (Productboard) AI coding agents have compressed software delivery like never before — features that used to take weeks now ship in days. But here's the catch: agents don't improvise. They don't fill gaps, ask clarifying questions, or read between the lines. Ambiguity doesn't get resolved — it gets built wrong. The bottleneck has moved from engineering capacity to clarity, and the product specification is now the most critical artifact a PM produces. In this talk, Dominik explores how the PM's role is fundamentally shifting as a result. We'll look at what great AI-ready specs look like in practice: grounding them in your codebase and real customer feedback, using prototypes as a diagnostic tool, and why the spec — not the code — is becoming your team's true intellectual property. He'll also show how tools like Productboard Spark are flipping the traditional workflow — instead of the PM writing and AI helping, AI drafts and the PM steers — making it possible to go from opportunity to delivery-ready specification in a fraction of the time. If you're a PM figuring out how to stay high-leverage in the age of AI, this talk is for you.

\*\*MPORTANT! Please register on [Luma page](https://luma.com/qmxm93hj)\*\*​ Are you a strong designer with a solid portfolio, but still feel like your true impact remains invisible? We often believe that simply creating good mockups is enough. But the reality is: design almost never creates results in isolation, and the market pays for business impact, not just execution. ​**🎤 [Vova Safonov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vova-safonov/) — From a Reactive Designer to a Proactive Leader** We will break down the illusion of "I complete tasks = I work well" and discuss why strong designers often lose in the market. You will learn how to: * ​Stop waiting for tasks and start taking responsibility for solutions. * ​Understand business expectations (impact on revenue, conversion, retention). * ​Develop an entrepreneurial mindset inside the company. ​**🎤 [Ivan Rohovchenko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivanrogovchenko/) — 1+1=3: How a Designer Creates Real Impact.** The greatest value is born at the intersection of functions. Ivan will share tools and real cases from his experience building design functions across 10+ companies. You will learn: * ​**The Three Levels of Influence:** How your value creation changes from IC to Design Lead to CDO. * ​**Perspective vs. Power:** Why designers often lose influence by proposing solutions to problems nobody has acknowledged yet. * ​**Practice:** Concrete tools for effective cross-functional collaboration, including stakeholder mapping. ​Huge thanks to **[Nagarro](https://www.nagarro.com/en/?utm_source=luma)** for hosting us, providing the space, and supporting the local design and tech community! Let’s gather to exchange experiences, build cross-functional strategies, and network with like-minded professionals!

V Shoptetu má na starost AI — žádný vývojář nebude sedět (bez tokenů) v koutě.* Jeden prompt nestačí. Pokud chcete stavět AI automatizace, které přežijí první demo, potřebujete víc než jen API klíč k LLM. Potřebujete workflow engine, model routing, logování promptů, vyhodnocování odpovědí, ingest dat, klasickou databázi i vektorové vyhledávání. Ukážeme si vývojářský AI automatizační stack postavený na nástrojích jako n8n, OpenRouter, LiteLLM, Langfuse, Firecrawl, Postgres a Qdrant. Projdeme, jakou roli v architektuře hrají, co řeší, co neřeší a jak je poskládat do praktických interních workflow, agentů a automatizací. \-\-\- **Josef Jebavý - Jak dělat frontend backendově** *je cyklista a freediver, který se prvně s programováním a Linuxem setkal již před rokem 2000. Když zjistil, že s počítači jsou problémy, rozhodl se vystudovat informatiku a následně zakotvil jako nezávislý IT specialista. Dlouhodobě se specializuje na: servery, kontejnery v cloudu, webové aplikace a zálohování vše s důrazem na efektivitu testování a bezpečnost. Mezi jeho nejčastěji používané AI nástroje patří Gemini a Cursor.* V posledních letech se při vývoji webových aplikací přechází čím dál více na frontendové technologie. Od nástupu AI a vlny vibecodingu javascriptový frontendový framework automatickou volbou pro webové aplikace. Jednou z několika nejpoužívanějších technologií pro vývoj webu bylo vždy PHP. Od PHP verze 7 se z PHP stal robustním programovacím jazykem a díky dalším nástrojům, jako je PHPStan, výrazně narostla hodnota ekosystému PHP. Podle mého názoru je na tom PHP vývoj aktuálně stále lépe než javascriptové technologie. \-\-\-

Do you have a personal project you've been meaning to work on but never quite find the energy for during the week? 🌸 ...Writing a book, painting, experimenting with AI, making videos, learning something new, building something you've been putting off ...whatever it is, bring it along! Join us for a relaxed **Saturday co-work session** where we simply sit together, work on our own things and enjoy the company of other women doing the same. ☕ It doesn't have to be AI related at all, though it absolutely can be! And who knows, maybe we'll exchange some ideas along the way, maybe AI can help with something, maybe not :). Maybe the best thing that happens is just getting something done in good company. Sometimes all we need is a little accountability and a warm space to finally make progress on the things that matter to us. 💜 See you there! :)

NFT's are here to stay folks!

Our workshops are typically 1 to 1 and a half hours long and held in-person. Our workshops cover the same content as the online course, but they are more detailed and allow the chance to ask questions and have discussions with the presenters and other residents. We occassionally have "advanced topics" classes where you dive deeper into one topic of Community Backyards such as invasive vs. native plants or rain gardens.** **Registration is encouraged but not required.** You can register in advance to receive your voucher at the workshop. If you don't register in advance, that's okay - you can still show up (unless otherwise noted - which is very rare) and sign up for a voucher at the class, and we will send you one via email or mail within a few business days after the workshop. **"Do I have to be a resident of that community to attend that workshop?"** Nope! Our workshops are open to everyone (unless otherwise noted - which is extremely rare). You can attend a workshop that best suits your schedule even if it is in a different community than your own. **"Why is registration closed?** Can I just show up?" Yes, you can show up without registering! We close registration typically 1-2 days before the workshop to give the vouchers and materials to the presenters.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
