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.
**Speakers**
**Jeremy du Plessis - Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Rightmove**
Jeremy is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Rightmove. He holds an MSc in Machine Learning, specialising in Deep Reinforcement Learning. Before joining Rightmove, Jeremy was a founding MLE at a California-based, GenAI-first startup, where he helped scale a consumer product to tens of thousands of users. He joined Rightmove as its first MLE to build the platforms and systems that enable teams to develop, deploy, and scale both classical ML and generative AI applications.
**Athina Konstantinou - Data Scientist, Rightmove**
Nana is a Data Scientist at Rightmove. After completing an MSc in Data Science at the University of Bath, she joined Rightmove in 2019 as a Statistical Analyst, supporting estate agents, lenders, surveyors, and investors in understanding the housing market. In 2022, she became the first member of Rightmove’s newly formed AI squads, helping to lay the foundations for the company’s ML and AI capabilities. The team has since grown to ten and continues to expand as AI becomes an integral part of innovation at Rightmove.

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.

The Tribalheart Sacred Lounge
An evening of nourishment for the heart and soul in a sacred haven where we can enjoy, express and feast our senses together.
We will do practices from a medley of modalities that will include Tantra, Meditation, Breathwork, and Bioenergetics. Occasionally we will spice things up and safely explore more shadow themes of conscious kink
Connecting with a range of feelings present in the body and heart, we will release and move energy where needed so we can access the medicine of pleasure in the body, love in the heart and the boundlessness and interconnectedness of our Spirit.
We will always start by tuning in to ourselves and the unique energy of the group on the night. We will learn how to acknowledge and set boundaries for ourselves authentic for each group. From here we can explore connections with others using a variety of guided meditations that invite us on a sensory journey to experience touch, sound, smell, sight and taste. You can participate as much or as little as you feel in each exercise and are always encouraged to honour yourself and your boundaries in the moment.
As with all Tribalheart events we will make space to stretch, move and dance.
The event is open to all levels of experience in Tantra or other conscious connection groups.
We wish to create a space where we can deep dive playfully together, moving through any fears around connection and being seen. This is a clothed event unless otherwise specified but we encourage you to bare your heart and let it shine with an intention and generosity to share your unique self at a level you are comfortable with.
Ceremonial grade Cacao will be served, with gentle aphrodisiacs such like Maca, Ashwagandha, and Damiana. Any foods or beverages served for the main rituals will be organic and high quality.
It is a guided group meditation, so no chit-chatting after the event starts.
Doors open 7:20pm, event starts 7:45pm sharp. No entry after 7:45pm.
Wear loose comfortable clothes.
Sober only, no alcohol or any intoxicants allowed during the event

FULL - National Gallery: Photo Hunt | London 20s and 30s
**On Friday 24th April, we’re really excited to be heading back to the National Gallery Lates for our latest fast-paced, Photo Scavenger Hunt.**
Yep every Friday, one of London’s most iconic galleries stays open late, inviting visitors to explore its treasures after hours.
However, rather than simply enjoying the wonders of the art on display, to spice up our visit, we've organised one of our famous Gallery-wide team photo hunts 📸
If you've not been to one of these before, our photo hunts are a unique mix of a fast-paced **Scavenger Hunt** and **Where’s Wally?,** set in one of the world’s most famous galleries.
We’ve curated a fresh selection of intriguing background characters, unusual objects and eye-catching snippets in the paintings across the gallery.
And your team’s mission is to **locate as many of them as you can** within 90 minutes 🕵️
You’ll be armed with photo clues to help you find them, but they are designed to be easy to miss - so you’ll need to keep your wits about you and your eyes peeled.
And that’s not all - there’ll also be extra creative challenges along the way, giving your team the chance to bag valuable bonus points.
The team with the most points by the end of the night will be crowned the winners, with **some great prizes up for grabs 🏆**
And once the hunt wraps up, we’ll head to the pub to grab a drink, crown the winners and hand out the prizes.
It should be a great night but places are limited and so if you would like to join us for this, please RSVP as soon as possible!

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**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.
