AI Evenings LDN: How Rightmove is Using AI to Transform the Moving Experience
Rightmove has access to one of the richest property datasets in the UK, spanning listings, imagery, and user behaviour. In this session, Jeremy and Athina break down how those data assets power real AI-driven product capabilities, helping identify potential vendors, predict mover intent, and surface more relevant homes faster.
Beyond the models, this conversation explores what it takes to move AI from experimentation to impact. Attendees will hear lessons from adoption, business outcomes, and how Rightmove balances innovation, trust, and scale, plus a look ahead at where the next wave of AI value is emerging in the property market.
**Event Overview**
Buying or selling a home is a major life decision, and Rightmove sits at the centre of that journey. In this session, Jeremy du Plessis and Athina Konstantinou share how AI is reshaping the moving experience, from intent prediction to visual inspiration and smarter search.
**01 - Powering the Home-Moving Journey with Data**
An inside look at the data foundations behind Rightmove’s AI, including listings, imagery, and behavioural signals, and how they’re combined to unlock smarter experiences across the platform.
**02 - From Models to Meaningful Product Features**
How AI enables practical capabilities like mover intent prediction, vendor identification, AI-powered property styling, and keyword-based search, turning complex data into everyday value for users.
**03 - Scaling AI with Impact and Trust**
Insights into adoption, measurement, and outcomes, alongside a forward-looking view on how AI will continue to reshape property discovery, decision-making, and the future of moving.

Meetup #15 Claude Code For The Rest Of Us
Shaping our future with AI. Creating opportunity through AI fluency, connection and community.
No jargon. No hype. No confusing terminology.
**Join us for our next in-person meetup in London on Wednesday April 22nd.**
Our theme for this meetup is **Claude Code For The Rest Of Us.** How do you get those most from tools like Claude Code if you're not a developer? We are talking to knowledge workers, product leaders, consultants and entrepreneurs about how they use Claude Code!
**Where and When?**
* Wednesday, April 22nd
* Doors open at 18:00
* Talks start at 19:00
* 123, Pentonville Rd, London N1 9LG
**Talk: I Built A Team Of AI Agents. Here's What They Actually Do** ([Liam Darmody](https://www.linkedin.com/in/liamdarmody/), With Curious Growth)
AI agents are revolutionising how we work, but the conversation is too often dominated by software development and coding. What about the rest of us?
I'm a product leader who spent a decade managing human teams before building a team of AI agents to run alongside me. In this hands-on, demo-heavy session, I'll take you behind the scenes to show you how I built and manage a custom team of AI agents that handle briefing, research, writing, and meeting analysis. I give one agent a task, it pulls in the right context, and passes the work to whichever specialist agent is best suited.
This isn't a theoretical talk or a product pitch. It's a practical walkthrough of what works, what doesn't, and what I've learned about designing AI agents that actually do useful work. Whether you're a founder, a strategist, or a knowledge worker looking to scale your output, you'll leave with actionable ideas on how to treat AI not as a single tool, but as a capable team working alongside you.
**About Liam:**
I help senior product and engineering leaders fix the real reason teams fail. Misalignment. Through executive coaching, product advisory and strategic facilitation, I support leaders to rebuild clarity, alignment and momentum so their teams perform at their best without burning out.
**Panel: Getting Started With Claude Code**
This is a real "for the rest of us" event. In this panel we'll be digging into the ways ANYONE can get to grips with tools like Claude Code.
Liam will be joined by Maebh Booth and Miguel Luna who have been using Claude Code outside of software development to help them save time and make better decisions.
**About Maebh:**
Maebh Booth is a senior engineering leader focused on platform, developer experience, and the practical realities of AI across the full development lifecycle, currently working independently to help engineering organisations adopt it in a way that actually delivers value.
Maebh doesn’t just use AI at work she’s also created a team of agents to help organise her life, as well as fun projects like a cocktail making app and a geneology research web app.
**About Miguel:**
Miguel is a Product Leader focused on Cloud Native observability, systems thinking, and practical use of AI with search context.
Miguel has recently been rethinking the product role completely to get the most from LLMs including tools for cohort retention and funnel analyses, customer health signals, churn prediction, writing PRDs and one-pagers.

Design Evenings LDN: The New Era of In-House Creativity
In-house creative teams are redefining what great brand work looks like. This session explores how Monzo built a world-class creative studio from within, establishing clear creative vision, strong craft standards, and a talent model that allows creativity to lead, not just execute.

An honest look at the realities of growth, what breaks, what needs rebuilding, and how to maintain a safe, high-output creative culture as expectations rise. From early missteps to momentum-building moments, this is a behind-the-scenes view of creativity at scale.

London daytime testing at Waterloo
We playtest all sorts of games - strategic, silly, creative, or whatever. Some games are almost done. Some are very early ideas. We test anything that will fit into 90 minutes.
You don't need to bring a game - we always love to have new playtesters!
Please let us know in the comments when you plan to arrive/leave and whether you are bringing a game or not. This helps us to plan the day better.
The schedule is:
10am onwards - gathering, chatting
11am sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 1')
12:30ish - break for food/chat
1pm sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 2')
2:30ish - break for food/chat
3pm sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 3')
4:30ish - finish up
Often, we might hang around afterwards, to play some already-published games.
We are strict on timings, so please try to arrive a few minutes before the session to limit disruption.
You can just come for part of the day if you wish. The reason we have fixed timings for the 3 'slots' is to make it easier for folk to do so.
Designers of all levels of experience are welcome! But if it's your first time, we ask that you don't bring a game and just spend some time learning how the group works.
The group works based on reciprocation. If you expect to test your own game, make sure stay for long enough to play other games. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect to play one of your own games every third 90-minute session. So if you stay a whole day (3 sessions), you can expect to have one session to play your game(s). A good rule of thumb is that if you come all day, you will have one 90 minute session with two other playtesters in which to test your own games. It is sometimes possible to test games with more players. If your game requires 4 or more, please note that as standard you will be allocated half of a session (45 minutes).
Pre-covid, we were getting unmanageable. As a result, we may have to limit attendees. This is a free-to-use venue, and we have to be mindful that other folk want to use the same space.
Please note: This is an adults only event.

**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
