​Join us on May 19th for a joint meetup organized by Helsinki MLOps Community and Helsinki ProductTank to conclude the spring semester with a bang! ​--- Agentic AI is moving from prototypes to production and everybody must balance speed of adoption and reliability. Due to their dynamic task executions, the behavior of agentic AI is even more unpredictable than in regular AI system where ML/AI models - large or small - are utilized in predefined workflows. Nevertheless, going forward all the AI and product teams will be dealing with agentic AI sooner or later. What does it take to build and operate the agents as productized software solutions? Let's hear it from forerunners that have been living through the latest regarding advanced agent cases in enterprises or as technical founders. **🎤** **The talks and the panel:** **​Case Story from WithSecure -** Seamus Moloney, Data & AI Team Lead, Principal Data Architect / WithSecure Corporation **From Prompt to Product: Managing AI Agents in Production** \- Pasi Vuorio\, Founder\, CEO / ModernPath **Panel Discussion: Choosing the Right Approach for Agentic AI: Where It Fits and What It Demands** Chaired by: * Dan Khurram, Senior consultant, Business and PM coach / Eficode Panelists: * Valentin Sattinger, Co-Founder & Product Manager / Luo & Advisor / 8wave (Past: Director of product management / Noice & Product manager / Unity) * Arto Tolonen, CEO & Co-founder / ProductSense (Past: CPO / Smartly.io & CTO / Audiodraft) * Aaro Isosaari, Co-founder & CEO / Flow AI (Past: Co-founder & CEO / Flowrite) ​--- 📍 Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences (Pasila campus next to Pasila railway station) 📆 May 19th 🕔 17:00 - 21:00 ​​Beverages & snacks + Discussions & networking Organized in collaboration with * Brillian (https://brillian.fi/), * Aiven (https://aiven.io/), * Haaga-Helia UAS (https://www.haaga-helia.fi/en) * "Applied AI in Business and Education" innovation hub of the Ulysseus European University (https://ulysseus.eu/innovation-hubs/artificial-intelligence/)

Welcome to join our Sahaja Yoga meditation meetings in English! The meetings are free of charge and you can just show up. The group consists of people of different ages and nationalities who have been meditating different periods of time. Newcomers are welcome at any time. We normally sit on chairs or on pillows on the floor, so there is no need to bring a mat and you can wear normal clothes. Meditation means mental silence or thoughtless awareness. You are present here and now, but your mind is not bombarded by thoughts from the past or the future. In this state, you feel peace and joy, which are the essential elements of the present moment. With regular practice of meditation, it is possible to establish this state within us. The group is lead by volunteers who are experienced and can offer guidance to get you started. We give a short introduction to the meditation and after that we do meditation exercises. We also give tips on how to meditate at home. After the meditation class, we have a cup of tea and there is time for questions. Welcome! We hope to see you in our meditation meetings!

Welcome to our May meetup in Helsinki, arranged together with Antilooppi (https://antilooppi.fi/). Schedule: 17:00 Doors open! 17:30 Welcome words by organizers and Antilooppi 17:40 **The Spec-Driven Revolution: Building the 20X Development Engine** **By Dr Jukka Ala-Mutka, Founder of Managentics** Traditional SaaS is hitting a wall. As job security and project timelines face constant pressure, the "Artisan Coding" model is being replaced by AI-native pipelines. In this session, Jukka also shares how Managentics is operationalising "Spec-Driven Development" to achieve results that were previously impossible. In this deep dive, we will explore: * ⁠The Specification Factory: How Managentics transforms raw business intent into high-fidelity agent specifications. This is the "Intent-to-Specs" phase, where business logic is refined into structured blueprints before a single line of code is written. * The Industrial Assembly Line for Software: How we treat platform development not as a manual craft, but as a process-driven assembly line. We apply industrial management principles to digital creation, ensuring every feature follows a repeatable, high-velocity path from the factory to production. * The Power of SDD and TDD: Moving the source of truth from ephemeral syntax to structured business logic (Spec-Driven Development) and rigorous automated validation (Test-Driven Development). In this engine, specifications are the blueprints, and tests are the quality gates. * The 20X Development Engine: How this automated approach achieved 20x efficiency, delivering 200,000 lines of production-grade code in just 3 months. If you’re interested in moving beyond simple prompting to building industrial-scale autonomous capabilities through process-driven management, this talk is for you. About the Speaker: Jukka Ala-Mutka is a Dr Sc. & BSc in Construction Management with over 20 years of experience in strategy and technology. As the founder of Managentics, he is pioneering the "Intent-to-Specs" pipeline, helping organisations transition from human-centric tools to autonomous agent swarms. \*5 min break\* 18:15 **"Building Viral Apps People Love" by Jarno Silander, Founder of Kinoon.fi and Head of Growth at Droppe.** The world is full of digital experiences that fail people. Previously you just had to put up with it, but not anymore thanks to AI. In this session, Jarno shares practical advice on finding your next project and building experiences worth sharing, using the viral cinema platform Kinoon.fi as a working example. In this session, we’ll dive into: * ⁠**The Kinoon.fi story**: how virality generated the first 20k users and put Kinoon on track for €800k+ in annual partner sales. * **Finding your next project**: UX arbitrage and using pain as a compass. * **Building shareworthy experiences**: UX frameworks, mental models, and tips that turn users into your distribution channel. * ⁠**When taste ends and science begins**: measuring what matters and running experiments to surface unintuitive wins. * **How to just do things**: getting out of your own way. About the speaker: Jarno Silander is a curious startup founder-operator with 7 years of experience helping startups find product-market-fit and scale to their next growth stage. \*5 min break\* 18:50 TBA 19:30 Mingling / free discussion etc 20:00 Doors close **About us** Vibe Coding Finland is a community for developers, designers, business professionals and tech enthusiasts who love to vibe code, learn, and connect in a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere.

Quan will share how a high-stakes system (thousands of daily reservations across 50 hotels in Finland and Estonia) broke free from release anxiety through a testing strategy that made deployments genuinely boring. Results included sustaining 10%+ conversion rate and 4.3+/5 team happiness scores.

Some software projects never deliver or has problems until the weekend before release when it is “saved” by one or two developers. This presentation will walk through the most common reason why projects are late and what to do to avoid it. **Warmly welcoming you all,** **Brgds FTMG organizers;** [Nina](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninaperta/), [Szilard](https://www.linkedin.com/in/szellszilard/), [Jani ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jani-gronman/)and [Mikko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikko-paloheimo/)

**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.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
