**Requirements Engineering & AI** Wir haben für den 17.6. zwei grossartige Speakerinnen gewonnen, welche über Requirements Engineering & den Impact von AI berichten werden. Zwei Talks zum **Thema Agenten und Personas** und anschliessend Diskussionen dazu. **"KI goes Hollywood: Gib deiner KI eine Haltung und Rolle. Personas im Zeitalter von KI" von Christina Rohrmoser (LEAN-CODERS)** KI ist nur so gut wie die Perspektive, die wir ihr mitgeben. Doch in der Praxis passiert genau das selten: Personas werden halbherzig erstellt, falls überhaupt – und dann selten bis gar nicht verwendet. Und das, obwohl sie Gold wert sind, wenn es um die Nutzung von KI geht. Ein tiefes Personenverständnis ist der Schlüssel. Nicht als Steckbrief, sondern als fiktive Haltung. Egal ob KI, KI-Agent oder Agentic AI: die Persona ist immer relevant, da sie der KI mitteilt, in welchem Kontext eine Entscheidung zu treffen ist – und für wen. In meinem Talk zeige ich, nach welchen Kriterien eine Persona zu erstellen ist, damit KI die ihr zugewiesene Rolle spielen kann – und wie groß der Unterschied ist, wenn KI rollenlos bleibt. Denn ohne Haltung passiert genau das, was viele Anwender:innen bereits erlebt haben: Die KI antwortet – aber am eigentlichen Problem vorbei. **"KI-Agenten - eine neue Generation von Requirements Engineers?" von Brigitte Rafael** Chatbots sind bereits veraltet, KI-Agenten sind das neue Schlagwort. Wer nicht selbst schon einen Agenten gebaut hat, wird in IT-Kreisen mittlerweile schon fast schräg angeschaut. Aber was können solche Agenten wirklich und wie funktionieren sie? Der Vortrag bietet eine kompakte Einführung in KI‑Agenten – was sie sind, wie sie funktionieren und warum sie zunehmend eine ernsthafte Rolle spielen. Wie sieht das im Requirements Engineering aus? Da Agenten ja quasi alles können, können sie auch einen Requirements Engineer ersetzen? Ein Erfahrungsbericht über ein Experiment dazu rundet den Vortrag ab. **Die Sponsoren** 🏢 Location & Catering wird von [LEAN-CODERS](https://lean-coders.at/) bereit gestellt. **🎤 Call for Speakers & Sponsoren!** Und wenn du selbst etwas erzählen willst oder eine Idee für einen Talk hast, dann melde dich einfach. Auch suchen wir nicht nur Sprecher, sondern neue Lokationen zum Vortragen. 👉 **RSVP now!** Die Plätze sind begrenzt, also melde dich bitte an. Wie immer freuen wir uns sehr auf dich!

Hello everyone! We're excited to announce **Vienna's first official** **Codex Community Build Meetup**, co-hosted with **Vienna AI Engineering** on Saturday, June 20! It's a full-day, hands-on event for learning to build with Codex (OpenAI's coding agent) and with AI agents in general. This isn't a lecture: bring your laptop, pick the track that fits your level, and spend the day building alongside mentors and Codex experts. Come with an idea or just show up ready to learn. The goal is to leave with something you made, a clearer sense of how AI agents fit into real software work, and new people in Vienna's builder community. Whether you're already using Codex or simply curious about coding agents, this is your chance to connect with peers and see how AI is transforming the way we build software. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ IMPORTANT: [Register on Luma](https://luma.com/9dmqcdn0), not here! To avoid double-bookings, RSVPs on Meetup are limited to the Organizer Team only. The 170 spots are all on Luma, and that's the only place to sign up. 👉 Register here: [https://luma.com/9dmqcdn0](https://luma.com/9dmqcdn0) Check-in at the door uses the Luma guest list, so please make sure you're registered there. When you register, you'll pick the track that fits you best: 🟢 AI Beginner: a guided path from first setup to a small working project 🟡 AI Intermediate: practical Codex workflows for prototyping, testing, and shipping faster 🔴 AI Advanced: bring your own project and push a more ambitious build Each group has a suggested track and mentors on hand throughout the day. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 Why Luma?

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who enjoy talking to people from other countries, and those who would like to discuss international travel and culture, and who enjoy getting together for good conversations."

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle. **Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?** In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox. One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread. Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for. **Questions to wrestle with:** * Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving? * Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why? * If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming? * Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now? As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. 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!
