This month we have 3 talks Talk 1: Day to Day AI Talk 2: Scalable AI Talk 3: Production Ready AI Talk 1: Day to Day AI - AI, Agile and Productivity AI is changing not only how we work but how we plan and organise our projects. Join us for a quick overview of how we can leverage AI to take some of the heavy lifting out of effective planning, how AI can transform opaque requirements into actionable work and general tips and tricks for everyday productivity.

Talk 2: Scalable AI - From 50 to 50K: Scaling an AI Application Under Pressure—Lessons from a High-Stakes Launch Description: Scaling an AI-powered application from 50 MVP users to 50,000 for a high-stakes go-live is a daunting challenge—especially when you only have one shot to get it right. In this talk, we’ll share our firsthand experience navigating the technical, operational, and security hurdles of scaling under pressure Topics: Scaling the Application: handling a 1,000x increase in users—from architecture and performance to real-time monitoring and optimization. DevOps: How we automated, tested, and deployed at scale while minimizing risk and ensuring reliability. Security: Security for AI application developed with AI tools.

Description: Every client is asking for AI now, but what do you actually do when that first request lands? This talk walks through a real project where a client asked for "automated data entry" and what we actually built: an AI pipeline that turns product images into structured listings using vision models. I'll cover how to scope AI work, what went right, what didn't (the 90% to 100% accuracy trap), and why designing for human in the loop beats promising full automation. Practical advice for web devs taking on their first AI project. About Samuel Ng Co-Founder of POPBO Net, a Hong Kong IT consultancy. 15 years building web and ecommerce products, now focused on running hands on AI enablement workshops and building AI agents that automate real business workflows.
