**If building with AI feels intimidating, this meet-up is for you. If it doesn't, come watch another woman build her app.** For our third WIN AI meet-up, we're trying something new. Until now, we've looked at how women in our community use AI applications in their work and life. This time, we're looking at someone building one. Aisling McCaffrey is working on a social media posting app. Think of it as a stripped-down Canva plus Buffer. She'll walk us through the concept, some of the Claude skills she's been using to improve it, how she hosts it, and what she's learned along the way. It's not a tutorial. Just a real look at what it's like to build something with AI. After the demo, we open it up. What questions does this raise for you? What would you want to build if you had the time? And the usual: where is WIN AI going, and what do you want from it. Come as you are. Bring your curiosity and your half-formed ideas, especially the ones you haven't said out loud yet. 📅 Wednesday\, 3 June\, 7:00 PM 📍 House of Startups \| 9\, rue du Laboratoire\, Luxembourg City

For many professionals, career questions are no longer only about finding a job. Very often, they are about direction, confidence, identity and the search for meaningful alignment. This June, The LuxBuzz Academy is launching the pilot edition of the Career & Purpose Lab: From Direction to Action— a guided small-group journey designed for professionals navigating transition, change and career reflection. The programme combines strategic reflection, career guidance, professional positioning and confidence-building in a supportive and interactive environment designed for meaningful dialogue and practical exploration. We are also very happy to bring together three experienced professionals who will guide different stages of this journey: • [Steve Muscat Azzopardi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevemuscatazzopardi/) \- Leadership Mentor • Commercial Director\, MentorLab Group • Author • EMP Certified Practitioner helping participants explore purpose\, direction and authentic career growth\. • [Marina Krasochka](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mkrasochka/) \- Co\-Active coach • Life & Career resets • ex\-Google & ex\-Meta with international recruitment and coaching experience supporting professionals through transition and reinvention\. • [Miriam Vetrano](https://www.linkedin.com/in/miriam-vetrano-557b3b24/) \- Psychologist • Human\, Performance & Mindset Strategist focusing on confidence\, professional presence and authentic self\-expression during periods of change\. The pilot is intentionally designed for a small group of 6–8 participants to create space for reflection, personalised guidance and peer exchange. This pilot is particularly relevant for: • professionals navigating career transitions • internationally mobile professionals • expat spouses and partners • individuals re-entering the workforce • professionals seeking greater clarity and alignment in their career direction This is not a traditional training course. It is a guided process designed to help participants move from confusion or stagnation toward clarity, direction and action.

Outdoor calisthenics workouts are a fantastic way to build strength, improve fitness, and enjoy the great outdoors 😁🦾 Calisthenics is a form of strength training that uses the resistance of your body and gravity to help strengthen your muscles and improve your coordination, endurance, and mobility. It’s a workout that relies on body weight with little or no equipment. In fact, almost all common bodyweight exercises are considered calisthenics exercises. Some examples include: - airsquats - pushups - pullups - frogstand -handstand -musclup -backlever aso 😁 Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced athlete, calisthenics provides a holistic approach to fitness. 🏋️‍♂️💪

# **Agentic AI in Practice: Real Stories, Real Results** AI agents are moving from hype to real-world use, but what does that actually look like in practice? Join us for our next Brighton AI meetup on **Wednesday 3rd June, 6pm to 8pm**, where we’ll be exploring how people are using agentic AI in real life, not just in theory. This session will focus on practical examples, useful lessons and honest reflections from people putting AI agents to work. We’ll look at how agentic AI is being used to improve workflows, boost productivity, support teams, speed up research, manage tasks, make decisions and get projects moving. ## **Speaker line-up so far** We’ll be joined by: * **Amber**, who will share how she’s using agents to support **personal productivity** * **Thomas Mann from Clawbench**, who will talk about building an **agentic AI start-up** and how to optimise your agents * **Antony from Brilliant Noise**, who will share how agents are being put into **client teams**, and potentially how they’re being used within their own company too Expect short, accessible talks followed by a panel discussion on what’s working, what’s still tricky, and what others can learn from early experiments and real-world implementation. You don’t need a technical background to join. This session is for anyone curious about how AI agents are being used now, what they can help with, and what they might mean for the way we work next.

There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older.

Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
