An AI mission to Jupiter was supposed to **fail**. There wasn’t enough ⛽ fuel. \>\> **[RSVP & Details here](https://www.wix.engineering/ai-agents-from-tools-to-teammates)** << But instead of crashing, the AI agents argued, rejected the plan, and reinvented the mission together... That’s the shift happening right now in software engineering: AI agents are evolving from tools into teammates. Join our next Wix Engineering Meetup (**June 15**), to learn from **Dror Arazi** and **Or Goldreich** what it really takes to build and evaluate autonomous AI systems: ✅ Build and orchestrate multi-agent AI systems 📐 Measure AI reliability, reasoning, and decision-making 🧠 Design AI agents that collaborate instead of just execute 💻 Prepare for the next era of AI-native software engineering Details and RSVP: [https://www.wix.engineering/ai-agents-from-tools-to-teammates](https://www.wix.engineering/ai-agents-from-tools-to-teammates)

**When:** Monday, June 15th, 2026 @ 18:00 **Where:** Tikal Offices, 6 Kremenetski St, 1st Floor, Tel Aviv \*The event will be held in Hebrew **To confirm your spot, please complete your registration on our official [Luma event page](https://tkl.to/tikal-m-launch-15-6-26)** **You’ll receive a confirmation email once your seat is approved.** AI is everywhere. But what actually made it to production? Every year, the Israeli Tech Radar maps what development teams are really using not what’s trending, but what holds up over time. Join us for the launch of the 2026–27 Israeli Tech Radar, built from hands-on work of Tikal’s developers across the Israeli tech industry, together with contributions from leading companies such as Palo Alto Networks, Redis, Viz.ai and more. To expand and refine the industry picture, the Radar is also based on insights gathered from a wide community survey among development teams. Now in its 10th edition, Tikal’s Tech Radar is built on hands-on experience and real industry insights. We’ll explore where technologies across Backend, DevOps, Web/Mobile, and AI/ML stand, and what’s worth trying, starting, keeping, or stopping. **On the agenda:** **18:00–18:30 \| Networking & Snacks** **18:30–19:10 \| Israeli Tech Radar 2026\-27 Launch** Presented by Eitan Masuary, Head of Tech at Tikal. Eitan will present the key trends shaping the ecosystem, alongside findings from this year’s community survey conducted among development teams. What is actually running in production across AI/ML, Backend, DevOps and Web/Mobile Which technologies gained traction, which stabilized, and which quietly disappeared Including a closer look at how AI is moving from experimentation into real production systems. **19:10–20:00 \| In\-Depth Panel: From Trends to Action** Moderated by Eitan Masuary, Head of Tech at Tikal. A discussion with Tikal’s Tech Leads, exploring the top trends in Backend, DevOps, Web/Mobile and AI/ML (and yes, not only AI!) **Topics we’ll cover:** * Key trends across Backend, DevOps, Web/Mobile and AI/ML * How AI is reshaping each domain, from infrastructure to application architecture * The move from AI experimentation into real production systems * Technologies gaining traction vs. those starting to fade across the stack * How these shifts are changing engineering practices and tech decisions We’ll also announce the winners of the Tech Radar survey raffle during the event, among participants who completed the survey by May 25th. **Haven’t filled the Radar Survey out yet?** This is your chance to contribute your perspective and be part of this year’s Radar! >> [Take me to the survey](https://tkl.to/tikal-m-radar-survey-26) See you on the Radar! **Don't forget to complete your registration on our official [Luma event page](https://tkl.to/tikal-m-launch-15-6-26)** **You’ll receive a confirmation email once your seat is approved.**

ההרצאה צוללת לאתגר של ניהול אי-ודאות במוצרים מבוססי בינה מלאכותית: החל מקביעת ספי ביטחון לאוטומציה, דרך עיצוב מנגנוני אישור ובקרה, ועד ליצירת שקיפות רדיקלית שבונה אמון ארוך טווח.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.

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. **YouTube Link** TBD
