Orquestando Agentes de IA
Orquestando Agentes de IA: Del Spec al Deploy con un Flujo de Trabajo Profesional
¿Y si pudieras convertir una idea en una aplicación funcional, testeada y desplegada en la nube — todo orquestando agentes de IA con un flujo de trabajo profesional?
En este workshop vamos a ir más allá del "vibe coding". Vas a aprender a trabajar con agentes de IA usando metodologías reales de ingeniería de software como Spec-Driven Development y Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), donde primero definimos qué queremos construir y cómo se debe comportar — y luego dejamos que los agentes generen, iteren y validen el código por nosotros.
Pero no nos quedamos en el código. Vamos a cerrar el ciclo completo integrando herramientas de infraestructura y CI/CD con GitHub CLI (gh) y Google Cloud CLI (gcloud) para que tu aplicación no solo funcione en local, sino que llegue a producción.
Videos que conectan: cómo crear contenido para negocios y marcas personales
Hoy no basta con tener presencia digital: los negocios y las marcas personales necesitan comunicar con claridad, generar confianza y aparecer donde está la atención de las personas.
En esta charla aprenderemos cómo usar Edits para crear videos cortos, dinámicos y estratégicos para redes sociales, sin necesidad de ser editor profesional. Veremos cómo transformar ideas, servicios, productos o contenidos de marca en piezas audiovisuales que conecten con la audiencia, refuercen el posicionamiento y ayuden a mover a la acción.
Una sesión práctica para emprendedores, profesionales independientes y creadores que quieren aprovechar mejor el video para contar lo que hacen, mostrar su valor y construir una marca más visible en redes sociales.
🇺🇲 Free English Speaking Meetup 🫂
👋🏻 Hi everyone! I'm here with some exciting news.
I'm launching a social project to connect people so we can grow together!
✨ The main idea: We meet in cozy spots with tasty food (different ones each time) to discuss interesting topics in English.
Discussion topics:
• Psychology
• Philosophy
• Relationships
• Biology
• History
• Sociology
• Science
• Technology
• Politics
• Business
• Finance
🗺️ How the meetups work:
Stage 1. The Gathering. Usually at 4:00 PM in a park or city center.
Stage 2. The Move. We walk together to a chosen cafe or restaurant.
Stage 3. The Discussion. We pick a topic to kickstart the conversation.
Stage 4. The Wrap-up. Around 7:00 PM, we start winding down and heading home. (Duration: \~3 hours)
\* For those who are shy: In my experience, 80% of the tension and nervousness usually fades away within the first 15 minutes of conversation.
💌 Come join us!

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday.
But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to.
Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
