**đĄ Talks**
**1ď¸âŁ Agentic Memory**
This presentation examines how so-called "memory" in LLM agents is actually engineered from prompt construction, context management, external storage, and tool-mediated state rather than emerging as a native property of the model itself. Starting from the basic fact that an LLM ultimately consumes one serialized token stream, the talk explains why modern systems represent conversations as structured role-based messages, how chat templates and Jinja rendering turn those records into model-specific prompts, and how short-term continuity is created by replaying prior context. From there, it expands into practical memory design: prompt pruning, ephemeral context blocks, semantic memory, retrieval strategies, episodic logs, and procedural patterns that let agents act coherently over time without overwhelming the context window.
The second half grounds these ideas in a real local-first AI system: a web extension connected to a native C++ WebSocket server that routes inference across OVMS, OpenVINO GenAI, llama.cpp, and Google LiteRT. The presentation shows how the project implements immutable exchange logs, centralized sliding-window assembly, ephemeral runtime payloads, MCP app context, tool-first memory operations, and task/document workflows. The goal is to move beyond vague claims about agent memory and present a concrete architectural blueprint for building autonomous agents whose behavior is traceable, debuggable, and robust.
**2ď¸âŁ From Idea to Impact: Building AI That Works**
A brief overview of AI Engineering its history, background, and purpose. This is followed by a short walkthrough of one of our solutions, Adverse Media Search, including how we went from proof of concept (PoC) to production, what the solution is, and why we chose to build our own instead of using one of the commercial alternatives.

â**Preparing people for a change that has no finish line.**
âMost organisations today have a plan for implementing AI. Far fewer have a plan for supporting the people navigating it. The uncertainty is real. The fear of becoming irrelevant. The sense of loss for how work used to feel. The paralysis of not knowing what comes next. Unlike previous transformations, this shift has no clear end state â no âfreeze phase,â no finish line. Traditional change management frameworks were not designed for continuous, evolving disruption.
âThis first **Human AI Circle** gathering at BLOXHUB creates space for a more honest conversation. It brings together change leaders, HR professionals, and AI implementation leads to explore what truly helps people move through uncertainty.
Meet the panel:
* **Sofie Henriksen**, Director, Head of AI Adoption, Todai: Guiding organisations through AI adoption, where it works and where it falls apart
* **Ioanna Constantiou**, Professor, CBS: Researching why uncertainty, resistance and misalignment in AI transformation are not edge cases, but the norm
* **Elena Constantini**, transformational COO, former Group SVP at the Adecco Group: 20 years leading large-scale transformations with commercial in discipline but human by design
**What's on the agenda:**
\- What earlier work transformations teach us about leading people through the unknown and where those models break down with AI
\- Panel: Managing fear\, grief and paralysis in the age of AI\, learnings from real change initiatives
\- Simulation with **Sara Høyer Kragelund** from Involved: Walk through how your way of working will change as AI evolves from tool to agent to operating system and leave with a personal backpack of mindsets and approaches to navigate what's coming
Food included. Limited seats, attendance is by application.
**As you may have noticed, the Danish DevOpsDays chapter is folding, it's over â and then again it's only just beginning!**
The association activities and initiatives rises like a Phoenix project (pun intended đ¤ˇââď¸) and will carry on in "Mind over Machine"
Mind Over Machine is s non-profit Think-tank, Laboratory and a Community of Practice. We have a ton of ideas on what to get startet at, and we are inviting to our first **Ideation event**.
This is a cross-post event from the
đ **[CPH DevX CafĂŠ event](https://www.meetup.com/cph-devx-cafe/events/315066432)** đ
...but you are welcome to just sign up here in the DevOps CPH group.
**Regenerative software may just be the most purposeful rabbit hole you could dive into RIGHT NOW and we want to explore it together.**
**â Where do we see potential for regenerative software?**
**The purpose is simple**: Generate ideas that can form the foundation of the first projects to run in the laboratory: A survey, an Open Source tool, an article, a podcast, a tutorial, a model ...anything goes really!
Maybe you are a student and need a purposeful topic to base your master-thesis or internship on. Or maybe you just dream of joining forces with others around ideas you have, that would make the world a better place - **this is it!**
**We will collectively generate, challenge and shape the initial ideas that could define MoM. Expect slightly half-baked thoughts and enthusiastic disagreement.**
Join our Open Space style meeting for generation of initial ideas. The program will play out roughly as follows:
* Brainstorm ideas, record them in an online backlog
* From stage, briefly pitch each idea in the backlog
* Upvote the ones that you believe in and would like to contribute to
* Similar to Open Space Discussions, we will organize in parallel groups in short time slots and each group will discuss and record project details and perspectives to the ideas
* If possible we will organize in work groups around the most vivid ideas and launch projects.
**Prior to the event (optional):**
You are welcome to take a jump start and present some of your ideas, even prior to the event. The following is a short description on the infrastructure and process we will use.
1. Create an [account on GitHub](https://github.com/signup) if you haven't already.
2. We will be working in the [GitHub Discussions (Ideas category)](https://github.com/orgs/mindovermachine-dev/discussions/categories/ideas) in our @mindovermachine-dev organization.
3. You will see that there are already a few ideas drafted out.
4. CONTINUE! Add your own ideas. If someone else already wrote an idea you like, vote it up, comment on it, supplement it with your own perspective.
5. Consider reading the [Guideline for suggesting ideas](https://github.com/orgs/mindovermachine-dev/discussions/3) first

**READ THROUGH BEFORE SIGNING-UP (and ensure you check your meet-up chat regularly :-) )**
Can't think about a better way to wrap up the week then kayaking around the city channels.
GreenKayak, a NGO dedicated to raise awareness to ocean pollution, makes few (open) kayaks available across the city to paddle and help collecting waste floating in the water.
Open kayaks are typically easier to manovre than other types, and do not require EPP2/EPP3 patents.
I booked 2 double kayaks for 4 ppl in total.
It is possible to use the facilities at Kayak Republic free of charge: restrooms, lockers and showers.
**REQUIREMENT**
\- Safety first \- Need to be able to swim comfortably
\- Waterproof gear preferable
\- Sun lotion and sunglasses
\- Change of clothes in case yours get a bit wet during paddling
\- Towel\, if you want to shower or just in case
**COST**
Unfortunately, due to the frequent last minute cancellation last summer, it was challenging backfilling participants with short or no notice, and it was very disrespectful to the group and GreenKayak NGO.
**To reserve your spot, please transfer 150 kr. to my mobilepay 25717293**. The amount will be returned to you if you show up on time, or the event is cancelled for other reasons; **this remains a free non-profit event**.
The kayak rental is free of charge provided that:
\- we are able to pick\-up some waste during our paddling activity
\- we share our experience on the So\.Me \#GreenKayak
**AGENDA**
16:50- Meet up - please be on time đ
16:50-17:00 Briefing and getting ready
17-00-18:45 Paddling around Copenhagen channels and return to the start point
18:45-19:00 Return the equipment to Kayak Republic
**DISCOMFORT LEVEL** \- 3/5

Thanks to everyone who joined for our latest discussion of *Zorba the Greek* by Nikos Kazantzakis yesterday.
It was wonderful to see both familiar and new faces, and I hope you all had a meaningful and enjoyable conversation.
The next book to read is *[Nightwood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightwood)* (1936) by [Djuna Barnes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djuna_Barnes).
Set primarily in Paris during the interwar years, *Nightwood* follows a group of deeply entangled characters navigating love, obsession, longing, identity, and loss. Dark, poetic, and psychologically intense, the novel has become one of the defining works of literary modernism.
A short description of the book reads:
*Widely regarded as a modernist masterpiece, Nightwood explores desire, alienation, gender, and emotional dependency through some of the most lyrical and haunting prose of the twentieth century. It is also considered one of the earliest major novels to openly portray same-sex love between women.*
You can read more about the book [here](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53101.Nightwood) and listen to it as an audiobook [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoAM5_gJNZw):
Although *Nightwood* has never had a major film adaptation, the novel has had a profound literary influence. Writers such as T. S. Eliot, who helped edit and publish the book, praised its style and originality, and it has since become a cult classic within both modernist and queer literary history.
For other resources on how to get a hold of classic books, please see the *[About](https://www.meetup.com/copenhagen-classic-book-book-club/)* section on the front page of the group.
We meet up on **Saturday, June 13th, at 4 p.m.**
The location will once again be the [Garden of the Royal Library](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Library_Garden,_Copenhagen).
During the spring and summer months, we always meet outside here. If the weather turns rainy, we will simply move indoors.
Please remember to bring your suggestion for the next classic book to read.
And, as always, please be mindful and respectful of each other, so that everyone feels welcome and appreciated.
In the meantime, happy reading/listening â or however you prefer to do it.
Booked pitch at Holmen. Pitch is booked until 14.30

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event.
**Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether youâre running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works.
Weâre interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how itâs hosted and managed, how you built it, and why youâve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks.
This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If youâd like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyoneâs demonstrations.
Come ready to show what youâve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home.
Whether youâre deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat.
But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review.
In this beginner-friendly session, weâll demystify what AI agents actually are â without hype or jargon. Weâll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
Weâll cover:
* What makes an AI âagentâ instead of just a chatbot
* How agents break tasks into steps
* Where agents are genuinely useful today
* Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review
* How to design simple AI workflows for your own work
* A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish
No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
Title: Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI

A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
đĄ About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations â 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 â no guesswork required.
