안녕하세요, Have you been watching a lot of Korean dramas, but can't get past "안녕하세요" (annyeonghaseyo) and "감사합니다" (kamsahamnida)? Or simply want to say out a line from a drama? join us to pick up some Korean at Saturday Korean: 토요일 한국어. It is best that you already have some working knowledge of the Korean language so that you will have a smoother conversation. All our language-learning meetup events are free of charge. WE WANT KOREAN SPEAKERS TOO! We are on a constant lookout for proficient Korean speakers (not necessarily native) to come and share their knowledge of the language and culture. If you speak the language, come join us, help others learn and make lots of friends. See you there! 한국어 화자를 기다리고 있습니다! 유창한 한국어 구사자 (반드시 원어민일 필요는 없음) 분이시라면 저희와 함께 언어와 문화에 대한 지식을 공유해보시는 건 어떨까요. 다른 한국어 학습자들이 한국어를 배우도록 도와주고 많은 친구도 사귀어 보세요. 곧 만나요. 1. NO COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES We welcome anyone who is keen to learn a language or help others learn the language. However, this is NOT the platform for individuals who have other intentions, such as recruiting members for their business or organisation or selling products or services. We will not hesitate to ask such individuals to stop attending our meetups if they have been found to be pestering our members for such purposes. 2. GETTING THERE Nearest MRT station: Promenade MRT Station. LOCATING US INSIDE THE FOOD COURT When you arrive in the food court, look out for groups of people and ask them if they are there for a meetup. We are usually seated against the wall near the Penyet & BBQ stall, but this may vary. You can also send the host a text message via Meetup.

## Build an AI Backend ​Chatbots are frontend. The interesting question is: what happens when AI moves into your backend? ​Not a copilot. Not a chat widget. A reasoning layer that sits alongside your services - making decisions that used to be hardcoded, replacing brittle if-else chains with logic that actually understands context. ​[AgentField](https://umami-production-286d.up.railway.app/q/qu0EUyujU) is infrastructure for this. Agents that share memory without Redis. Agents that find each other without service registries. Just Python/typescript functions - no DAGs, no YAML, no workflow definitions. ​Come build something that belongs in a backend, not a chat window. ​**The Workshop:** ​In one hour, you'll build a system where multiple agents research a topic in parallel, share what they find, and go deeper where it matters. ​Not by wiring up message queues. Not by defining DAG configs. You'll write Python (or typescript) functions, and the coordination just happens. * ​**Reasoners** \- Functions where AI makes decisions * ​**Skills** \- Functions where code does the work * ​**Memory** \- State that flows between agents automatically * ​**Discovery** \- Agents call each other by name\, routing happens ​By the end, you'll have a working deep research system - the same pattern that powers everything from due diligence pipelines to adaptive content generation. ​Want to try it before the hackathon? [Join our Discord](https://discord.com/invite/aBHaXMkpqh) \- ask questions\, get help if you get stuck\, or just say hi\. ​**What makes this different:** * ​**Memory without infrastructure** \- Memory that works across all your agents\. No Redis\, no Postgres\, no config\. * ​**Agents find each other** \- Discovery engine routes automatically\. No service registry setup\. * ​**Reasoners vs Skills** \- AI decides\, code executes\. Clean separation that's easy to test and reason about\. * ​**Just simple** \- No workflow DSLs\. No DAG definitions\. Write functions\, decorate them\, done\. ​**The Challenge:** ​Rethink what AI applications look like after the chatbot. ​The chatbot was AI-as-interface: human inputs, AI responds. The AI backend is AI-as-infrastructure: agents that make decisions, share context, and do work - whether a human is watching or not. ​Build the application that exists on the other side of that shift. ​**🏆 Prizes:** ​$2,000 USD in OpenRouter credits: * ​1st Place: $1,000 * ​2nd Place: $600 * ​3rd Place: $400 **⚡ Agenda:** * ​10:00 AM - Kickoff + Workshop: From Hello World to Deep Research * ​10:30 AM - Team formation + hacking begins * ​12:00 PM - Lunch * ​3:30 PM - Hacking ends / Live demos (3 min per team) * ​4:30 PM - Winners announced * ​5:00 PM - Close **Who should come:** * ​You've built chatbots and want to build something deeper * ​You're curious what AI looks like when it's not a UI feature * ​You want to replace some hardcoded logic with reasoning * ​You just like building things ​Python or TypeScript. No agent experience needed. ​**How we'll judge:** 1. ​**New problem space** \- Is this AI\-as\-infrastructure in a domain we haven't seen? Show us something beyond chatbots\. 2. ​**Replaced complexity** \- Did you simplify an architecture that was previously a mess of services\, queues\, or hardcoded rules? Does it make sense cost\-wise? 3. ​**High leverage** \- Either high volume \(worth automating\) or high stakes \(worth reasoning about\)\. Bonus if both\. 4. ​**Previously impossible** \- Does this enable something that couldn't exist before? Not just faster or cheaper \- genuinely new\. **💡 What could you build?** * ​**Pricing that adapts in real-time** \- Considers inventory\, demand\, and competition \(for example\) simultaneously\. Reasoning and autonomous\, not rules\. * ​**Supply chain that coordinates** \- Shortage detected\, alternatives evaluated\, routes recalculated\, alerts sent\. * ​**Code Security Review for PR** \- Every PR launching and finding complex security threats and patterns that are non\-trivial ​Build something we haven't thought of here, and you have your own startup at hand ! ​**📚 Resources:** * ​Docs: [agentfield.ai/docs](https://agentfield.ai/docs/?utm_campaign=hackaton_1&utm_source=aibuilders&utm_medium=hackaton&utm_id=hack_sing-1&utm_content=docs-cta) * ​GitHub: [github.com/Agent-Field/agentfield](https://umami-production-286d.up.railway.app/q/qu0EUyujU) * ​Discord: [Join](https://discord.com/invite/aBHaXMkpqh) to prep and find teammates * ​Deep Research Guide: [Build your first system](https://umami-production-286d.up.railway.app/q/qu0EUyujU) * ​Blog: [The AI Backend](https://agentfield.ai/blog/posts/ai-backend/?utm_campaign=hackaton_1&utm_source=aibuilders&utm_medium=hackaton&utm_id=hack_sing-1&utm_content=blog-cta) **🤝 Hosts:** * ​**AgentField** \- Backend infrastructure layer for autonomous AI\. * ​**AI Builders** \- Community of engineers building the future of AI\. ⚠️ Limited spots.

Live Share and Care maiden walk promoting senior with active healthy lifestyle, patronizing elderly hawkers and hawker center. Sharing our care to elderly folks with a meal and company with pack2treat , a movement started 5 years ago supporting hawkers during post covid and a group of old folks at Toa Payoh and Geylang Bahru. As we walk we embrace our city in nature and appreciating the active beautiful clean environment. Step out from Gardens by the Bay MRT and begin a journey that weaves nature, waterways, and everyday life into one meaningful city walk. This gentle loop invites you to slow down and see Singapore with fresh eyes. We start at the serene Kingfisher Boardwalk, then open out to Marina Barrage where city, sea, and sky meet. Passing the Singapore Flyer, the walk flows along the Kallang River, echoing stories of sport and community at the National Stadium. A quiet pause awaits at Tanjong Rhu Lookout for drone play before heading to the heartland. The walk concludes at Geylang Bahru Food Market, where shared local food celebrates heritage, connection, and order pre CNY dinner for the 85 elderly folks at Toa Payoh . More than a walk, this is a mindful journey — linking green spaces to waterways, landmarks to neighbourhoods, and people to one another. Walk together, walk with purpose, and let the city inspire you. 🌿🚶‍♂️ Meet/End: Garden by the Bay MRT end at Geylang Bahru Food Market Distance : about 11 km Duration : 2.5 hrs Note: \- Bring water for hydration \, waterproof your items and be rain equipped \- Sunblock and hat \- in case of bad weather Cat 1 \, any change of plans will be advise on the morning of walk.

Inspired by the successful events like "Pot Luck in the Park" and "Saturday Mornings @ East Market," this meetup promises a fun and engaging atmosphere where like-minded individuals can connect over a shared love for languages and cultures.

International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)
