Rehearsal for Tropikaos

**About the talk** Conversational assistants aren’t “just another feature”. They are full experiences shaped by countless design decisions that must hold up in real life: messy inputs, high expectations, edge cases, and the constant tension between speed, quality, and cost. In this talk, Gea and Alberto share what they’ve learned while designing AI-enabled assistants in different contexts (from support to retail-like journeys). Instead of focusing on hype or theory, they’ll unpack the practical choices that make the difference: how to keep conversations actionable, how to design a consistent “voice” without overdoing personality, how to define (or intentionally limit) the assistant’s identity, and how the interface and the underlying logic need to evolve together. They’ll also touch the less glamorous, but most decisive parts of the work: when AI is the right tool (and when it isn’t), why data is the elephant in the room, what “testing” means in conversational design, and how to guide users so the assistant is easy to understand and hard to misuse without overwhelming them. Expect a set of clear takeaways you can reuse with your own team, whether you’re starting from scratch or improving something already in production, shared through real design trade-offs, not spoilers. **About the speakers** [Gea Sasso](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gea-sasso/) is a Senior Service Designer at Sketchin focused on service experiences where journeys, touchpoints, and contexts come together.

✍️🎯 What if writing became a game? Join us for a relaxed ‘’Ink & Drink’’ evening where we play with the English language over a drink, exploring wordplay, sound, rhythm, and meaning in a fun and creative way, surrounded by books. Do these ring a bell? ➡️ _A man, a plan, a canal: Panama. Do geese see God? Was it a car or a cat I saw? No lemon, no melon._ These are palindromes - phrases that read the same forwards and backwards, and they're just one of the playful tools we'll explore together. This session is designed as a hands-on, playful writing lab, accessible to all levels. We'll start with light icebreaker games mixing words and drawings, such as: * collaborative writing games (exquisite corpse-style) * riddles, rebuses, and simple word puzzles Then, you'll be invited to create your own short texts using: * palindromes * puns and wordplay * anagrams and sound-based games * playful constraints that spark creativity. If you prefer drawing, you're also welcome to create rebuses or visual word puzzles instead of writing. Sharing at the end is always optional. What to expect: * No prior writing experience needed. * Materials will be provided * Please plan to order at least one drink, as a courtesy to the venue hosting us. Come play with language, stretch your imagination, and enjoy a creative evening together in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Looking forward to playing with words together! ✨ _To stay informed about upcoming events and group updates, you can join our WhatsApp space here:_ 👉 https://chat.whatsapp.com/JBFUg4f3JikJlO4GbNKBmX

**mit Elana Andermatt und Andrea Bergamini** Kuscheln für alle, die schon vertraut sind mit Kuschel-Gruppen, ob bei uns oder anderen Anbietern. Wir werden weniger Zeit mit den Aufwärm- und Begegnungsübungen machen und mehr Zeit haben, in das Kuschelfeld einzutauschen. Auch hier ist die "Kuschel-Energie" der nährende, entspannte Kontakt zu anderen, ohne dass es in erotische oder sexuelle Bereiche abgleitet. Es geht um achtsame und absichtslose Berührungen und den 100%-igen Respekt deiner individuellen Grenzen! Und wenn wir dann beim Zusammenliegen immer weniger tun, sondern nur noch sind, dann kann sich das schon mal wie ein “Kuschelhimmel” anfühlen … * Die Sicherheit des klar strukturierten und geleiteten Abends/Tages und gleichzeitig die Freiräume für Deine individuellen Bedürfnisse und Grenzen. * Die verschiedenen Ebenen von Kontakt und Verbindung: Berührungen, Worte, der energetische Kontakt (z.B. nur im Augenkontakt) und die Resonanz im Gruppen-Feld. * Die Stärkung von Selbstkontakt, Eigenwahrnehmung und “Gut-zu-sich-selber-sein”, denn der Kontakt zu anderen kann sich nur in dem Masse vertiefen, wie wir den Kontakt zu uns selber vertiefen können. * Die Öffnung für “die grösseren Räume”, die uns auf einer spirituellen Ebene nähren und verbinden, so dass Gefühle von Frieden und "Nach-Hause-kommen" durch die Gemeinschaft UND durch die Verbindung zum Grösseren genährt werden. * Die ganz persönlichen Momente, in denen du ganz entspannt, offen und echt anderen herzoffenen Menschen begegnest. Klare Kuschel-Regeln für mehr Sicherheit, Vertrauen und Entspannung gelten auch hier: Wenn du JA sagst bei deiner Anmeldung, sagst du JA zu den klaren Kuschelregeln: Beim VertiefungsKreis werden diese Regeln nicht mehr explizit genannt, da wir annehmen, dass sie bekannt sind. * Keine Berührung im Intimbereich und an erogenen Zonen. Keine Küsschen oder Hände unter dem TShirt. Erotische Energie wird nicht angefacht. Wir bleiben auf der Ebene des brüderlichen und schwesterlichen kuscheligen Herzens. * Du kannst dein Tempo jederzeit wählen, wie schnell und nahe du mit anderen sein möchtest oder wie oft du auch Momente für dich alleine brauchst. * Ein NEIN ist ein NEIN. Achte drauf, dass du deine und andere Grenzen des Wohlbefindens respektierst. **Zeiten:** 19:30-22:00h Einlass 19 Uhr bei einer Tasse Tee Bei Abenden mit Verlängerung bis 23h (wer will). **WO:** JupiterSpace, SeminarPavillon vom Jupiterhaus im Frankental; Frankentalerstrasse 55, 8049 Zürich **Mitbringen** bitte bequeme Kleider, warme Socken und bei Bedarf eine verschliessbare Wasserflasche. **Ausgleich:** 30.-, oder das, was du zahlen kannst. **Infos und Anmeldung:** Elana **[elana@sensual-healing.ch](mailto:elana@sensual-healing.ch)**, 0041 79 437 22 22 **Homepage: [https://kuschel-tempel.ch](https://kuschel-tempel.ch)** Wenn du regelmässig einen Reminder haben magst, kannst du dich gerne hier zum \*\*[Kuschel-Tempel-Newsletter ](https://Kuschel-Tempel/#Newsletter/)*anmelden.* ***Diese Kuschelveranstaltung ist für "Profi-Kuschler***" oder alle, die schon mindestens einmal bei uns oder in einer anderen Kuschelgruppe mitgekuschelt haben. **Neuanfänger** dürfen sich gerne zu den **offenen Abenden** anmelden.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
