A valuable agent is one that handles real work." This is the third installment in the OpenClaw series, shifting focus toward practical application—deploying built agents into real workflows across customer support, go-to-market, engineering, and QA. The event features a self-directed, table-group format where attendees work at their own pace alongside others pursuing similar goals. What we'll work through together • Customer support automation: triaging, drafting, routing, resolving without the back-and-forth • GTM workflows: lead research, outreach drafting, CRM updates, follow-up sequences • Engineering tasks: PR summaries, issue triage, documentation, test generation • QA and ops: automated checks, error monitoring, reporting pipelines • Building for your domain: scoping the right use case and wiring it up end to end Bring a laptop. Bring a running agent. Have a workflow in mind you'd love to hand off.

We're going deeper: memory that actually persists across conversations, a knowledge base it can draw on, skills that connect it to the tools you already use, and workflows that handle a whole process end to end. These are the things that turn an interesting agent into something you actually rely on. ​Self-directed, table-group format. You work at your own pace, in your own direction, with people around you doing the same. ​**What we'll work through together** * ​Memory architecture: short-term, long-term, episodic and how to set them up properly * ​Knowledge bases: connecting your own docs and notes so the agent can draw on them * ​Good skills to add: which integrations are worth the effort (Notion, email, calendar, GitHub) * ​Giving access to tools: MCP, APIs, function calling * ​Proper workflows: multi-step, conditional, handling a whole process and not just one message * ​Sandboxing: running actions safely without breaking things or leaking data **NOTE: Registration invalid on meetup.

If you’ve worked with LLMs, you’ve probably run into slow inference, out-of-memory errors, or hallucinations you couldn’t explain. There’s no shortage of resources on how transformers work, but most of them either ask you to build one from scratch or get lost in theory that doesn’t connect to the problems you’re actually facing. Transformers in Practice is different. We will give a complete practical view of how transformers work, from how they generate text to what’s happening inside the model to how it all gets optimized to run on real hardware. Interactive visualizations throughout let you see key concepts in action and build intuition that actually sticks. Here’s what you’ll learn: * **Model Behavior:** You’ll learn how LLMs generate text through an autoregressive loop, selecting one token at a time from a probability distribution. You’ll see how sampling parameters like temperature shape the output, why hallucinations happen, and how techniques like RAG, constrained generation, and chain-of-thought reasoning all work within this same loop. * **Model Architecture and Attention:** You’ll look inside the transformer to understand what attention is really doing, how positional encoding tracks token order, and how multiple layers and attention heads work together to turn an input sequence into a next-token prediction. * **Scaling and Deploying:** You’ll learn why GPUs are well-suited for transformer inference and where the real bottlenecks are. You’ll build practical intuition for quantization, KV caching, flash attention, and speculative decoding, including the tradeoffs each one introuces for cost, speed, and output quality. The minimum fee is to pay the venue and avoid no show and make this group of people sustainable in the long term

Art has long been a means to express and perceive universal values of beauty and harmony by finding an expression to unite opposites, like light and darkness, sounds and silences or movement and stillness. And the artist, like the philosopher, finds a way to make the invisible visible or perceivable, whether in paintings, sculptures, music, dance, poetry and so much more. Join us for an afternoon in the search for Wisdom through Philosophy & Art. **2pm Introduction ‘The Muses’ (Free)** Introduction to the day, with a short talk on the ‘The Muses’, inspiring poetry and dramatic readings. **Ongoing workshop – “Making a shared mosaic” (Free)** From all the individual pieces of tiles there emerges a beautiful unity, each piece is different and contributes to the collective. This is one of the key principles in Mosaic art. Learn more about this and the fundamentals of creating mosaics and how to create simple designs using colourful tiles. ***All are welcome! No experience necessary for any of the activities.*** There are also 2 other workshops running on the day, please click the links below to find out more. **From 2.30pm - Bodypercussions & Vocals (€7, 1.5 hours)** https://www.meetup.com/philosophy-in-rathmines/events/314398224/?eventOrigin=group_upcoming_events **From 3pm - Making your own sistrum (€5, 30 mins)** https://www.meetup.com/philosophy-in-rathmines/events/314398170/?eventOrigin=group_upcoming_events00

Do you understand French but struggle to speak naturally when it’s time to respond? Join a relaxed French conversation group (online) where we use real French conversations as a way to practise speaking French in a natural and structured way. This is not a traditional lesson. It’s a guided conversation space where you practise speaking through real-life content. ## 📰 This session’s topic : **Docteur Love** 💘 In this session, we will work with a short audio extract from a French radio show, where a love coach gives relationship advice live on air. What makes this extract especially interesting is that the coach speaks very naturally — with hesitations, pauses, filler words like *euuuh* and *bah*, just like in real spoken French. You’ll get exposed to authentic French as it is actually spoken by native speakers, not polished scripted French. ## 🎥 BEFORE THE SESSION Before the meetup, you will watch a short 1-minute French video clip. This video will give you key vocabulary and context, so you feel more comfortable speaking during the session. You will also receive a few simple comprehension questions to help you prepare your ideas. ## 💬 DURING THE MEETUP (ONLINE) We will use this content as a starting point for discussion and speaking practice. You will be guided through conversation activities to help you : You will be guided through conversation activities to help you : * Define and describe concepts in French (for example what is love? what makes a healthy relationship?). * Give advice and recommendations naturally. * Express your opinions about relationships and emotions. * Justify your ideas and explain your reasoning. You don’t need perfect French — the goal is to speak and build confidence. ## 🗣️ ACTIVITY FORMAT The session will include : group discussion based on the video guided speaking questions interactive conversation practice a final speaking activity / role-play based on the scenario ## 🎯 WHAT YOU WILL IMPROVE By the end of the session, you will have practised how to: speak more spontaneously in French understand and react to real French content build confidence when expressing ideas move from “I understand” to “I can respond” ## 🌿 ATMOSPHERE This is a supportive, low-pressure environment. Mistakes are welcome and part of the learning process. The goal is communication, not perfection. ## 👥 LEVEL Intermediate French learners (you should already understand basic French and be able to form simple sentences). ## ⭐ FREE EVENT – FEEDBACK APPRECIATED This is a free session, and your feedback is very important for me as I build these conversation groups. At the end of the meetup, I’ll kindly ask participants to leave a short review about their experience — it really helps others decide whether to join future sessions. ## 📩 Feel free to join or message me if you have any questions
