Networking for founders, creators, freelancers + rebels ⚡
**From Code to Connection: The Human Reality of Building an AI Startup**
**About the Event:** Welcome to Rebel Dublin! No shiny sales pitches. No corporate jargon. We host free, no-nonsense events for Entrepreneurs, Creators, and Freelancers. We are a global community dedicated to creating a safe space for honest conversations, real learning, and the stories people usually hide—like the lowest points in the startup journey.
This month, we are diving into how AI is fundamentally shaping modern startups, and more importantly, how humans actually fit into the equation.
**Our Guest Speakers:**
* **James Ahearne:** A Dublin-based entrepreneur building AI-powered products (AgentikAds, JamesOS) that automate growth and operations. Having built and exited businesses in foreign markets as an outsider, James believes AI makes starting a business more accessible than ever before—even if you still have a full-time job.
* **Ashley Nichols:** Founder & CEO of Familiar Futures, an AI workforce adoption platform. With 15 years leading digital transformation at Accenture and PwC, and a past background as a US Diplomat, Ashley focuses heavily on bridging the "useful-to-me" gap between fancy tech and human adoption.
Whether you are an AI expert, a curious freelancer, a side-hustler, or just looking to connect with a larger global community and hear inspiring Irish stories, this room is for you.

OpenClaw: Applied usecases
**NOTE: Registration invalid on meetup. Please register here for a valid ticket: [www.giveago.co/register/openclaw3](www.giveago.co/register/openclaw3)**
"A capable agent is one that replies. A valuable agent is one that handles real work."
This is the third installment in the OpenClaw series, shifting focus toward practical application—deploying built agents into real workflows across customer support, go-to-market, engineering, and QA. The event features a self-directed, table-group format where attendees work at their own pace alongside others pursuing similar goals.
What we'll work through together
• Customer support automation: triaging, drafting, routing, resolving without the back-and-forth
• GTM workflows: lead research, outreach drafting, CRM updates, follow-up sequences
• Engineering tasks: PR summaries, issue triage, documentation, test generation
• QA and ops: automated checks, error monitoring, reporting pipelines
• Building for your domain: scoping the right use case and wiring it up end to end
Bring a laptop. Bring a running agent. Have a workflow in mind you'd love to hand off.

This is the second day in the OpenClaw series. We're going deeper: memory that actually persists across conversations, a knowledge base it can draw on, skills that connect it to the tools you already use, and workflows that handle a whole process end to end. These are the things that turn an interesting agent into something you actually rely on.
Self-directed, table-group format. You work at your own pace, in your own direction, with people around you doing the same.
**What we'll work through together**
* Memory architecture: short-term, long-term, episodic and how to set them up properly
* Knowledge bases: connecting your own docs and notes so the agent can draw on them
* Good skills to add: which integrations are worth the effort (Notion, email, calendar, GitHub)
* Giving access to tools: MCP, APIs, function calling
* Proper workflows: multi-step, conditional, handling a whole process and not just one message
* Sandboxing: running actions safely without breaking things or leaking data

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
