Community Chatter: practical AI
How are community builders actually using AI in their day-to-day workâbeyond the hype and into real workflows?
âJoin us for a Community Chatter focused on practical AI tools and approaches that help teams move faster, support their people better, and rethink how communities grow. This session brings together speakers who have built and deployed their own AI-powered solutionsâfrom editorial coaching agents and community automation stacks to internal knowledge assistants employees actually trust.
âYouâll hear how AI is being used to:
* âturn rough ideas into publishable content without bottlenecks
* âbetter understand and manage growing communities
* âcreate reliable, accessible knowledge systems inside organizations

*Coaching, Not Gatekeeping: Building an AI Editorial Agent for Our R&D Blog*
The more AI handles the routine, the more the human stuff matters. This talk is a small story inside that bigger one. A year ago, this would have been a favour I'd ask a senior engineer for - and then keep bothering them about every time something broke. Instead, I built it myself: an AI-powered editorial coach that helps our engineers, PMs and designers turn rough ideas into publishable blog posts. Azure Functions, React, Claude. Things I'd nodded along to at conferences for years and never expected to actually touch. I'll share how it was structured, tuned, and what it changed about how people write and publish. Although I hit a token limit in Claude Code halfway through. It's in production anyway.
â[LĂĄÄa VaĹĄek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ladislav-vasek/?locale=en&utm_source=luma)
*From Chat to Code: How We Run a 500-Member Community with AI (Without Being a Developer)*
A practical, no-code journey through building and running a community with AI tools. LĂĄÄa will walk through his stack and share a surprising insight: not all members matter equallyâand AI can help you figure out who actually does.
â[Jirka NeÄas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/necasjiri/?utm_source=luma)
*Good Input Means Good Output: How We Built an AI Agent Employees Actually Trust*
A behind-the-scenes look at building an internal AI assistant that employees actually use. Jirka will show how leveraging existing data, analyzing real employee questions, and embracing imperfect systems can lead to a reliable, everyday knowledge tool.

Lisbon. How Designers Drive Real Business Impact
\*\*MPORTANT! Please register on [Luma page](https://luma.com/qmxm93hj)\*\*â
Are you a strong designer with a solid portfolio, but still feel like your true impact remains invisible? We often believe that simply creating good mockups is enough. But the reality is: design almost never creates results in isolation, and the market pays for business impact, not just execution.
â**đ¤ [Vova Safonov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vova-safonov/) â From a Reactive Designer to a Proactive Leader** We will break down the illusion of "I complete tasks = I work well" and discuss why strong designers often lose in the market. You will learn how to:
* âStop waiting for tasks and start taking responsibility for solutions.
* âUnderstand business expectations (impact on revenue, conversion, retention).
* âDevelop an entrepreneurial mindset inside the company.
â**đ¤ [Ivan Rohovchenko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivanrogovchenko/) â 1+1=3: How a Designer Creates Real Impact.** The greatest value is born at the intersection of functions. Ivan will share tools and real cases from his experience building design functions across 10+ companies. You will learn:
* â**The Three Levels of Influence:** How your value creation changes from IC to Design Lead to CDO.
* â**Perspective vs. Power:** Why designers often lose influence by proposing solutions to problems nobody has acknowledged yet.
* â**Practice:** Concrete tools for effective cross-functional collaboration, including stakeholder mapping.
âHuge thanks to **[Nagarro](https://www.nagarro.com/en/?utm_source=luma)** for hosting us, providing the space, and supporting the local design and tech community! Letâs gather to exchange experiences, build cross-functional strategies, and network with like-minded professionals!
Cuddle party for women and men
early bird price till 17.05 - 350, 18-22.05 - 450,
23.05 - 600 CZK
**Have you ever heard of a cuddle party? đŤ**
It's a structured, non-sexual event where people come together to experience safe, consensual touch - hugging, holding hands, lying next to each other, or simply being in the same space with others
Nobody expects anything from you. Just a guided environment where physical closeness is treated with care and clear boundaries
The event is led by a facilitator who walks everyone through the rules of consent before anything begins - how to ask, how to say no, and how to receive a no without it being a big deal. There are warm-up exercises to help people settle in, followed by free time where participants choose for themselves how and with whom they want to interact. The evening closes with a short reflection circle
**Who is this for?**
People who miss physical closeness and don't have much of it in their daily lives. People who want to practice saying no - or hearing it - without it feeling like rejection. People who feel anxious around strangers and want a safe space to work through that slowly. People who are simply curious about this kind of experience. You don't need any particular reason to come
**Who should probably skip this one?**
If you're going through a serious mental health crisis right now, it's worth waiting until you're in a more stable place - this kind of event can bring up a lot. If you're coming with the hope of romantic or sexual connection, this isn't the right space for that. And if receiving a "no" from someone feels genuinely distressing to you, it might be worth exploring that with a therapist before joining
The exact address will be shared privately - for the safety and privacy of all participants
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments. And if you'd like to come - just drop me a message đ¤

Drunken Philosophy: Whatâs up with all the AI hate?
**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion
**Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?**
A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad.
My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one.
Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it?
I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction.
Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends.
No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup (4th Tues)
Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :) If the weather is nice we will be on the back patio, otherwise we are in the cigar room.
This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us.
COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant.
Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
This is an in-person meeting.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation donât just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance.
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues.
So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them?
That is what this meeting will be all about.
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!

BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this yearâs Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it âa sure-fired crowd-pleaserâ that âjust might be the feel-good hit of the year!â Others say, âPaul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmerâ thatâs both âhilarious and deeply moving!â
