Women Who Build
You already know what OpenClaw is. You've probably starred the repo. Maybe you've spun it up once and hit a wall somewhere around channel config or API keys or "wait, which model am I actually running?"
That's what this night is for.
## **Register on this link to confirm your RSVP:** [https://giveago.co/register/openclaw](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw)
This event is brought to you in collaboration with **Give(a)Go** and **AI Collective** — and the team from Jentic who have been running OpenClaw agents in production and building skills on top of it. They'll be in the room to help you through it. Bring your laptop, bring your questions, and by the end of the night you'll have an agent actually running. Talking to you on WhatsApp or Telegram. Doing things.
**What usually trips people up (and what we'll cover):**
* Hosting: VPS vs home server, what's actually worth the hassle
* Channel setup: linking WhatsApp without losing your mind
* Skills and tools: connecting real APIs so it can actually do stuff
* Personality and memory: [SOUL.md](https://soul.md/), [MEMORY.md](https://memory.md/), making it yours
* Model selection: not burning money on every message
Prep materials go out beforehand. Come ready, or come from zero — both are fine.
Bring a laptop. That's it.

**About Jentic**
[Jentic ](https://www.jentic.com/)is the missing layer between your APIs and AI agents. When you deploy agents to production, you hit real walls: fragmented API access, no governance, untested behaviour crashing into live systems. Jentic removes that friction.

**LOCATION**
McSorleys
5 Sandford Rd, Ranelagh, Dublin 6, D06 A2P4
*Just 7 minute walk from Ranelagh or Beechwood Luas Stops
**COVID 19 AND OTHER RESPIRATORY ILLNESS**
If you have any cold, flu or Covid symptoms please do not attend.
After Work Wednesday's!
Get over the mid week slump and come down to meet some new faces and relax. We try and go to a different bar every week and you can join us anytime after 18:30.
**How to find the group?**
\*We have an area reserved just for us so if you are new and unsure please ask any of the bar staff for the area reserved under the organisers name or if completely lost on the night please contact the event host and they'll come and find you.
**How does it work?**
\*After finding the group either the organiser will approach you and ask if you are looking for the meetup or you can just ask anyone "Is this the meetup?" and normally that is a great conversation opener to join the group. After that it's up to you what you make of the event. That is pretty much it. Easy right? We normally encourage people to stand as it's much easier to mingle that way.
**Nervous about coming to the event?**
\*While it's quite intimidating meeting a bunch of strangers from the internet we are a very welcoming group. We normally look out for new people and remember that everyone in the group has been new in the group at one point. If are you'd like extra help just contact the event host on the night.
**Interested in helping out?**
\*Let me (Éamonn) know as it would be greatly appreciated.
**Something happened?**
\*Please report it to the organiser as we cannot do anything to prevent it from happening again if we don't know about it. Even if it's something small please let the organiser know as they are probably unaware.
We aim to have the location up by Monday afternoon before the event. The bars we go to are all based in the city centre.
**See you on Wednesday!**
The Assets Builders
**Welcome to The Assets Builders.**
We are tired of the old story: study hard, get a job, climb the ladder. That ladder is broken, and we want to build our own.
We are ambitious, talented, and restless to own more of our work.
We believe that the future of work isn't a job. It's a portfolio. It's about not letting your job be your only plan. Jobs are temporary; assets are forever. Jobs pay; assets compound. We aren't just looking to earn a living; we're looking to design a life. We are ambitious, talented, and restless to own more of our work.
This isn't just about entrepreneurship. It's about experimentation. It's about shifting from being an employee to an experimenter. We aren't asking you to quit your job. We're asking you to not rely on it. We're asking you to diversify, to build, and to take control.
We build business assets and career assets, which are the tangible and intangible resources that grow your value and multiply your options. They include:
Your unique skills and know-how.
A powerful personal brand.
A robust network of connections.
A compelling portfolio of your work.
Valuable digital content and digital products.
We follow the Assets Ladder. We learn more skills. We earn more income. We own more assets. This is the three-step framework that busts the myth that assets are only for the rich. It's a path for anyone who is willing to do the work.
This is not just an idea. It's a strategy. Learn Earn Own is our toolkit. We provide the maps, the scorecards, the templates, the AI prompts, and the digital tools you need to build your own Career Assets.
By joining The Assets Builders, you will learn to:
Design your own future and stop building someone else’s.
Own more of your work and stop leaving money on the table.
Earn more without working more to become more independent.
Create multiple personal career ideas with our practical tools.
Create things of value to monetise, including digital tools
Collaborate with others with complementary skills and experience
We are ready to build something that lasts. We are ready to own our potential.
We are The Assets Builders.
Join our kick-off at Career Lab in Dublin.
**The Organiser**
I’m an innovator in digital business for 25 years, including starting and selling a personal brand side hustle called 'Connector'.
Recently, I published a book about the Future of Work, introducing the idea of Career Assets, as the Career Ladder is broken. I will have some copies of 'Learn Earn Own' at a special offer price of €10 if you want to get a signed copy.
Nowadays, I help ambitious individuals, groups, and organisations build assets with long-term value.

**Previous Feedback**
"I loved how inclusive, informative, and open the community was. I've been to professional networking events before, and sometimes they tend to get a bit cliquey (when too many senior execs or startup founders are involved), but I was really glad this wasn't like that at all!"

DubJUG 264: GONG & Agentic AI Tools
This month, we're venturing over to GONG HQ to her two talks from staffers SDE Vanja Tesin, and Senior Engineering Manager Anthony Brady.
DETAILS & OFFICIAL BOOKING >>>>>
https://ti.to/dublin-java-user-group/264-gong-hq
Check your schedule first (it's not cool to not show!)
## **Talk 1:** GONG & Agentic AI Tools
Gong built an agentic AI solution called Claude Code to help developers work more effectively across its complex microservice architecture of over 100+ repositories. Using a multi-agent system with specialised rules, skills, and subagents, it automates development tasks and reduces time spent on research and context switching. The result is faster development and better pattern compliance, reducing complex tasks from days to hours. Join Vanja Tesin to discover how.
## **Talk 1:** **Resilience in Microservices**
In the distributed landscape of modern backend architecture, the question isn’t if a service will fail, but when.
Without robust fault tolerance, a single latent dependency can trigger a cascading failure across an entire ecosystem.
Anthony's talk will focus on how Gong overcame some of those challenges and how they are implementing resilience utilising patterns such as Circuit Breakers, Rate Limiters and others to maintain stability and provide graceful degradation even when downstream services are under duress.

Agentic-Coding - Practitioners Day (II)
Hi All,
The feedback was: More best practices! More code! Less slides!
And here we go ...
Building on the success and momentum of the first meetup this year (in/with ServiceNow), we are doing our second Practitioners Day!
Brian Kelleher (CEO @ MicroDoc) is back and will talk about agents which iterate and check their own work in the cloud when certain conditions are met (e.g. new sentry issue, new user email, new PR).
I will do another no-slides/just-code session and will probably demo
Github speckit (an opinionated Spec-Driven Design framework).
This time we are hosted by UCD. We will be in the brand new O'Connor Centre for Learning (Room L1.03).
The agenda for the evening will be ...
* 18:00 - Doors open. Pizza and Drinks - All
* 18:30 - Welcome - Roland
* 18:45 - Making Agents work for you - Brian
* 19:30 - No slides. Just code - Roland
* 20:00 - Wrap up. More mingling - All
Hope to see you then and there.
Regards ...
Roland
Daytona x Give(a)Go HackSprint
🚀 A one day build sprint at the frontier of AI agents & sandboxes
Every time an AI agent writes code, it needs somewhere to run it.
A real computer. Isolated. Fast. Disposable.
Until recently, spinning one up took minutes. Daytona does it in under 90 milliseconds.
That changes what is possible.
**Registeration required on [luma page](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring).**
**Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)**
On March 28th, we are bringing together Dublin’s most ambitious builders to explore what happens when you give AI agents fast, isolated compute and let them loose on real problems.
***
# 🧠 What You Will Build
**Design AI agents that demonstrate**
* Sharp reasoning
* Independent decision making
* Safe execution in isolated sandboxed environments
* Real world impact
A sandbox is an isolated compute environment. A full computer spun up on demand where an agent can run code, browse the web, access files, execute workflows and disappear instantly.
This is the infrastructure underneath tools like Claude Code, Codex and Browser Use. It is how serious agent systems run safely in production.
*If it involves agents doing real work in the world, sandboxes are how you make it reliable and fast.*
✨ Every builder receives Daytona credits.
🏆 Top three teams earn thousands of dollars in compute.
***
**Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)**
## **Project Ideas:**
* **Self-Evolving Agent**
Spawn hundreds of agent variants in parallel, mutate prompts/tooling/memory, benchmark performance, and keep only the strongest. Darwinian selection for reasoning systems.
* **Parallel coding agents** with full context on your codebase and all dependencies pre-loaded, running experiments simultaneously with different parameters and returning results fast.
* **Research pipelines** that spin up isolated environments per experiment, run them in parallel, and aggregate outputs without any one run contaminating another.
* **Evolutionary Fine-Tuning Lab**
Run hundreds of fine-tuning jobs with varied hyperparameters and datasets in isolated sandboxes.
Automatically rank, kill, and respawn better-performing models.
***
## What the day looks like
🕚 11:00 AM Doors open
⚙️ 11:30 AM Intro to Daytona and sandbox primitives
🚀 12:00 PM Hacking begins
🍕 1:00 PM Lunch
🛠️ 1:30 PM Back to building
🖥️ 4:45 PM Demos and judging
🏆 5:30 PM Awards and close
Bring your laptop, an idea, and something you’ve been wanting to automate.
**Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)**
## About Daytona
**[Daytona](https://daytona.io)**: Daytona builds the compute infrastructure that AI agents actually need: sandboxes that launch in under 90ms, fork into parallel branches, and snapshot mid-execution.
Their customers include LangChain, Browser Use and more. This is the tech underneath Claude Code, Codex and every serious agentic tool running the cloud today.
## Venue Partner
\*\*[Baseline](https://baseline.community/)\*\*: An independent community and fund for early-stage founders in Ireland. They write €100K first checks to technical founders, backed entirely by private investors. Looking for your first check? these are the people to be in a room with.

Snowflake Startup Program Showcase: Building the Future of Enterprise AI
How do you scale an AI startup from an initial idea to an enterprise-grade solution? Hear from the Snowflake Startup Program team and a cohort of founders who are leveraging Snowflake to transform complex data into intelligent, scalable products
**Snowflake for Startups Program**
**Ryan Lieber**
Ryan Lieber will introduce the Snowflake for Startups Program, which provides several initiatives (e.g.,Startup Package, Startup Program & Cortex REST API) focused on supporting early-stage companies from a financial, technical and co-marketing perspective as they look to build their businesses on top of the Snowflake AI Data Cloud.
Learn how the program supports startups with technical enablement, go-to-market guidance, and direct access to Snowflake’s ecosystem to help scale innovative AI and data-driven products.
**From Program to Agentic AI: Building Enterprise Context**
**Ekai**
How do startups move from the Snowflake Startup Program to delivering high-impact AI solutions for major industries?
In this session, the leadership team at Ekai will share their journey of building enterprise AI products powered by Snowflake. They will explore how they tackle one of the biggest challenges in AI: Enterprise Context.
You’ll learn how Ekai developed an AI Backbone that transforms fragmented enterprise data into intelligent, agentic AI systems, along with the technical and commercial strategy required to scale across industries such as manufacturing and media.
**Unlocking the 80%: Turning Unstructured Data into Governed AI Intelligence**
**EmergeGen**
Enterprise AI doesn’t fail because of the models. It fails because 80% of critical enterprise data - including contracts, PDFs, and emails - remains unstructured, ungoverned, and inaccessible to decision-making systems.
In this session, EmergeGen, a Snowflake Native App, will demonstrate how organisations can unlock this hidden intelligence. Using ontology-based reasoning, EmergeGen converts messy unstructured data into governed, analysis-ready intelligence without data leaving the Snowflake environment.
**Key Highlights**
* Native Integration - Build a governed intelligence layer directly inside the Snowflake Data Cloud
* Beyond the LLM - Use ontologies to make AI systems explainable and trustworthy
* Real-World Impact - Case studies from MSD Partners (Private Credit) and 101 Logistics
**Speakers**
Ryan Lieber - Snowflake Startup Program EMEA & AJP
Tero - Chief Commercial Officer, Ekai
Hussnain - AI Architect, Ekai
Allan Beechinor - EmergeGen
**Event Schedule**
📍 26 March
18:30 - Ryan Lieber, Snowflake - Introduction to the Snowflake Startup Program

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**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
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.

Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able!
Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!
