Product Development

Importatn piece of advice - Come to the reception A!! Come to the reception A!! Come to the reception A!! Come to the reception A!! We’re shipping faster than ever… and also explaining way more why things didn’t turn out quite right 😄 This Product Tank brings two sides of the same story: 👉 How to survive (and function) as a PM in AI chaos 👉 How to write specs that AI can actually build from Talks: 🎤 Jindra Regál () You Are the Ultimate Product: Creating Value in Non-Tech Fields In the AI era, everything gets built multiple times a day. So what problems are still worth solving? After working with companies like Avast, Productboard, Better Stack, Ataccama, and BottleCap AI, I found the most meaningful work came from solving small, practical problems for real people and businesses. A talk about applying product thinking outside IT companies, expanding your perspective beyond software, and learning to treat yourself, your skills, curiosity, and adaptability, as the ultimate product to manage. ⸻ 🎤 Jakub Elias (Similarweb) PMing in the AI era PMs are having an identity crisis. Designers prototype with AI. Engineers spec with AI. You hear about CEOs shipping features from the back of an Uber. So what's left for you? Turns out, still quite a lot. This talk is about what the job actually becomes when building gets cheap and deciding gets hard. How the trio holds together when everyone's on everyone else's turf. How to keep a roadmap alive when the ground shifts every few weeks. And lastly, what's now expected of a PM - being a real builder. ⸻ 🎤 Dominik Ilichman (Productboard) AI coding agents have compressed software delivery like never before — features that used to take weeks now ship in days. But here's the catch: agents don't improvise. They don't fill gaps, ask clarifying questions, or read between the lines. Ambiguity doesn't get resolved — it gets built wrong. The bottleneck has moved from engineering capacity to clarity, and the product specification is now the most critical artifact a PM produces. In this talk, Dominik explores how the PM's role is fundamentally shifting as a result. We'll look at what great AI-ready specs look like in practice: grounding them in your codebase and real customer feedback, using prototypes as a diagnostic tool, and why the spec — not the code — is becoming your team's true intellectual property. He'll also show how tools like Productboard Spark are flipping the traditional workflow — instead of the PM writing and AI helping, AI drafts and the PM steers — making it possible to go from opportunity to delivery-ready specification in a fraction of the time. If you're a PM figuring out how to stay high-leverage in the age of AI, this talk is for you.

\*\*MPORTANT! Please register on [Luma page](https://luma.com/qmxm93hj)\*\*​ 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. ​**🎤 [Vova Safonov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vova-safonov/) — 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: * ​Stop waiting for tasks and start taking responsibility for solutions. * ​Understand business expectations (impact on revenue, conversion, retention). * ​Develop an entrepreneurial mindset inside the company. ​**🎤 [Ivan Rohovchenko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivanrogovchenko/) — 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: * ​**The Three Levels of Influence:** How your value creation changes from IC to Design Lead to CDO. * ​**Perspective vs. Power:** Why designers often lose influence by proposing solutions to problems nobody has acknowledged yet. * ​**Practice:** Concrete tools for effective cross-functional collaboration, including stakeholder mapping. ​Huge 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! Let’s gather to exchange experiences, build cross-functional strategies, and network with like-minded professionals!

As many of you already know [1touch.io](http://1touch.io%2A%2A/) has joined Everpure to combine its AI-driven data discovery and classification capabilities with Everpure’s global scale, accelerating the delivery of next-generation data management solutions. This meetup will be special! **Speaker:** **[Ashish Gupta](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashishgupta2025/)** - CEO and President of [1touch.io](http://1touch.io/) Ashish drives a bold vision to redefine how enterprises discover, understand, and secure sensitive data in the age of AI. A dynamic and highly regarded technology leader, he brings more than two decades of experience scaling high-growth companies across cybersecurity, enterprise software, and data infrastructure. Prior to joining [1touch.io](http://1touch.io/), Ashish served as CEO of Bugcrowd, where he accelerated the company’s growth, strengthened its market position, and expanded its platform to meet the evolving demands of modern security teams. His earlier leadership roles at global technology companies including Microsoft, Infoblox, Genesys, Actian, and Vidyo reflect a consistent track record of building innovative products, leading high-performing teams, and delivering impactful go-to-market strategies. He now joins Everpure as the General Manager of Data Management. **Talk:** Ashish will talk about why, in today’s AI world, the quality and structure of your data directly impact how well your models actually perform, and why many organizations are still limited by the way their data is set up. He’ll break down why traditional systems fall short and introduce knowledge graphs as a critical foundation for modern AI - connecting data through relationships, not just storing it in isolated tables. Instead of fragmented datasets, you get a connected view: customers linked to purchases, products tied to categories, and patterns that AI can actually understand and act on. You’ll see how this approach brings real-world context into your data, enabling smarter use cases like better recommendations, stronger fraud detection, and more meaningful insights. Ashish will also explain how adding a semantic layer transforms raw data into actionable intelligence, helping AI systems make more accurate predictions by understanding how things relate, not just what they are. If you're working on AI (or planning to) this session will show you why this isn’t just an upgrade, it’s the foundation for making AI actually work. **Time Agenda:** 17:30–18:00 – Doors open and registration with snacks and beer 18:00–19:00 – Talk 19:00–20:00 – Networking time 20:00 – Doors close

Ahoj Péhapkáři! Zveme vás na další sraz komunity. 🎤 Anastasiia Kovalova - Když AI agenti narazí na legacy PHP 🎤 Milan Šulc - AI automatizační stack do každé vývojářské rodiny 🎤 Josef Jebavý - Jak dělat frontend backendově 17:30 – open doors 18:00 – přednáška 18:40 – přednáška 19:20 – přednáška 20:00 - kvíz & networking Děkujeme našim partnerům a těšíme se na viděnou! Adresa: Shoptet - Pod Dráhou 1637/6, budova E3, Praha 7 \-\-\- **Anastasiia Kovalova - Když AI agenti narazí na legacy PHP** Co se stane, když AI agenti dostanou reálný ticket v existující codebase, jak nastavit workflow, kontext, validaci a kontrolní body tak, aby jejich výstupy dávaly smysl. (porovnávání Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex) \-\-\- **Milan Šulc - AI automatizační stack do každé vývojářské rodiny** *Pečovatel o open-source webové slony, potápějící se Docker containery a nemocné servery. V Shoptetu má na starost AI — žádný vývojář nebude sedět (bez tokenů) v koutě.* Jeden prompt nestačí. Pokud chcete stavět AI automatizace, které přežijí první demo, potřebujete víc než jen API klíč k LLM. Potřebujete workflow engine, model routing, logování promptů, vyhodnocování odpovědí, ingest dat, klasickou databázi i vektorové vyhledávání. Ukážeme si vývojářský AI automatizační stack postavený na nástrojích jako n8n, OpenRouter, LiteLLM, Langfuse, Firecrawl, Postgres a Qdrant. Projdeme, jakou roli v architektuře hrají, co řeší, co neřeší a jak je poskládat do praktických interních workflow, agentů a automatizací. \-\-\- **Josef Jebavý - Jak dělat frontend backendově** *je cyklista a freediver, který se prvně s programováním a Linuxem setkal již před rokem 2000. Když zjistil, že s počítači jsou problémy, rozhodl se vystudovat informatiku a následně zakotvil jako nezávislý IT specialista. Dlouhodobě se specializuje na: servery, kontejnery v cloudu, webové aplikace a zálohování vše s důrazem na efektivitu testování a bezpečnost. Mezi jeho nejčastěji používané AI nástroje patří Gemini a Cursor.* V posledních letech se při vývoji webových aplikací přechází čím dál více na frontendové technologie. Od nástupu AI a vlny vibecodingu javascriptový frontendový framework automatickou volbou pro webové aplikace. Jednou z několika nejpoužívanějších technologií pro vývoj webu bylo vždy PHP. Od PHP verze 7 se z PHP stal robustním programovacím jazykem a díky dalším nástrojům, jako je PHPStan, výrazně narostla hodnota ekosystému PHP. Podle mého názoru je na tom PHP vývoj aktuálně stále lépe než javascriptové technologie. \-\-\-

This group is for anyone who writes - for any reason. Have a thesis or article you need to write? Trying to finish a novel or an academic paper? This group is for you. We are currently meeting in-person at Locus Workspace. If you have any questions, contact Sonya Lano here or on Facebook or Messenger (https://www.facebook.com/sonya.lano). We start at 9:00, introduce ourselves, and share a few words about what we're working on and what we hope to accomplish during the session. At the end of the session, you can give us a brief recap of how it went. We'll break at noon. The afternoon session starts at 2:00 pm. You're welcome to join both sessions or just one. Please come as close to 9:00 as you can if you come for the morning session. If you come to the afternoon session, we are usually back by about a quarter to 2:00.

Do you have a personal project you've been meaning to work on but never quite find the energy for during the week? 🌸 ...Writing a book, painting, experimenting with AI, making videos, learning something new, building something you've been putting off ...whatever it is, bring it along! Join us for a relaxed **Saturday co-work session** where we simply sit together, work on our own things and enjoy the company of other women doing the same. ☕ It doesn't have to be AI related at all, though it absolutely can be! And who knows, maybe we'll exchange some ideas along the way, maybe AI can help with something, maybe not :). Maybe the best thing that happens is just getting something done in good company. Sometimes all we need is a little accountability and a warm space to finally make progress on the things that matter to us. 💜 See you there! :)

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** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD
