From Real-Time Intelligence to Legacy Mastery: The Era of AI Agents
**Cloud Native Night Munich**
AI agents are rapidly evolving from simple assistants into autonomous systems capable of reasoning, maintaining context, and interacting with complex environments. In this meetup, we’ll explore two practical applications of modern agentic AI in software engineering.
The first talk dives into building stateful AI agents that work with real-time data, covering the architectural patterns and challenges behind creating responsive, context-aware systems. The second talk showcases how agentic AI can be applied to understanding and analysing complex legacy applications — helping uncover program flows, dependencies, and hidden system knowledge that would otherwise take countless hours to explore manually.
Whether you’re building AI-powered applications, modernising enterprise systems, or simply curious about the future of intelligent software, this meetup offers hands-on insights into how AI agents are transforming the way we interact with technology
THIS MEETUP WILL BE HYBRID. **\|** Zoom Link will be available shortly before the meetup
\*\*\* AGENDA \*\*\*
* 6\.30 PM \| Doors open\. Grab some snacks & drinks\.
* 7\.00 PM \| Welcome & Intro – **Start of hybrid meetup**
* 7\.15 PM \| **Building Stateful AI Agents with Real-Time Data**, Gregor Bauer (VP Customer Engineering at CrateDB)
* \~8:15 PM \| **Hosty - The next level with Agentic AI,** Martin Binder (Lead IT Consultant at QAware)
* afterwards: More snacks & drinks, and a lot of time for networking with all attendees and speakers.
\*\*\* ABSTRACTS \*\*\*
**Building Stateful AI Agents with Real-Time Data**, Gregor Bauer (VP Customer Engineering at CrateDB)
Most AI demos are stateless. Real systems are not.
Modern AI applications increasingly depend on continuously changing operational data: events, metrics, logs, transactions, sensor streams, and user activity. This creates a new architectural challenge: how do we build AI agents that can reason over live data while remaining scalable and observable ?
This talk explores the architecture of stateful AI systems and agentic applications. We will cover:
* streaming-first AI architectures
* real-time context enrichment
* combining vector search with structured queries
* memory layers for AI agents
* latency and scalability considerations
* operational lessons from large-scale data platforms
The session provides practical guidance for engineers designing production-ready AI platforms.
**Hosty - The next level with Agentic AI,** Martin Binder (Lead IT Consultant at QAware)
To migrate legacy systems, you need to understand these IT dinosaurs, at least partially. So code analysis up to a certain level is unavoidable. What used to take months, sometimes years without LLMs is now doable in a few days with Gemini and friends. And yet: you still have to drive the analysis yourself, stitch the LLM's partial results into a coherent picture and fight the context window. With old source files thousands of lines long, that part really hurt.
Agentic AIs like Claude Code are not just another AI feature. They change how you approach unfamiliar systems — fast, and without the headaches that LLM chat workflows used to come with. Teaser: an analysis that took us a few days under "yay!" cheers is now done in minutes.

The Eye Contact Experiment [Zürich]
**Start February energized!**
Open your eyes, heart and soul and lose yourself in the eyes of a stranger for one minute. Explore a sense of belonging within our community while enjoying a moment of connection with a fellow human being.
►𝗪𝗛𝗬
Explore and express who you are: A human being.
𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄
When someone approaches us on the street, sometimes there is an incentive to sell something in particular. Yet, in this event, you have the unique opportunity to experience how we connect with each other without any intention. Here, you can feel truly being seen and understood. Experience the joy of human connection.
𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿
Eye contact is a simple form of meditation that allows you to observe your thoughts and feelings with much more clarity. This so called awareness is your gateway to a joyful life. Experience a day full of curiosity, peace and presence.
𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
For some of us, looking into the eyes of someone can be a difficult, daunting task. Yet it is proven that people looking into the eyes of others are perceived as more confident. This skill can be trained like a muscle. In other words, you are going to feel much more comfortable around other people. Learning this skill can be useful in holding a public speech, a company meeting, at dating or talking with your friends and family.
𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘆𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘇𝗲𝗿𝘀
Meet open-minded, positive people and connect with all kinds of them. Experience acceptance free of any judgement. Find a safe place where we see commonalities over differences. We are all part of the same family.
𝗕𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀
Nowadays, we are glued to our phones and social media. We, almost by accident, learned to avoid contact with fellow human beings where the generation before us used to have conversations with strangers while riding the tram, bus or train. Many friendships and romantic relationships used to stem from these casual interactions in public life. Let’s solve the problem of the increasing sense of division, isolation and loneliness by coming together and be truly present and communicate with each other, verbally and non-verbally.
►𝗛𝗢𝗪
Choose someone, offer this person to sit in front of you and make yourself comfortable. Bring a blanket or something similar to comfortably sit down. Alternatively, you can do the eye gazing while standing. Look into each others eyes for a minute (or even longer). Enjoy the silence and observe what happens. Expect nothing, yet be open for everything.
►𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧
The eye contact experiment is a beautiful and powerful experience that…
• offers you to explore human connection through non-verbal communication.
• can make your day, and for some people even change their life.
• brings people together.
►𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡
23th June, from 6:30pm until 8:30 pm.

Service Management Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Swiss PSUG 06/2026
Dear Microsoft Swiss PSUG,
We have planned another exciting event.
**Place & Language:**
Place: Isolutions AG, The Circle 38, 8058 Zürich (Hybrid with Teams)
Language: EN
**Session 1: PowerShell Notebooks in Practice: Real‑World Use Cases**
Description:
PowerShell Notebooks can significantly enhance how we build and operate tools. This session showcases practical, real‑world scenarios—including onboarding and offboarding workflows, pipeline integration, diagnostic data collection, and development against both on‑prem and cloud services. With plenty of demos, you’ll see how notebooks can improve productivity and clarity across the entire lifecycle.
Speaker: [MVP David Sass](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sassdawe/ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/sassdawe/")
**Session 2: Updating isn’t the hard part — Knowing What changed Is**
Description:
PowerShell modules evolve constantly — features change, bugs are fixed, and behavior shifts. While updating a module is easy, understanding the impact of updates is not. Outdated modules risk lost functionality, while rushed updates can introduce subtle breaking changes.
In this demo-focused session, we explore a practical approach to tracking meaningful module changes without notification overload. Using the PackageUpdateInfo module, we show how to detect and report relevant differences between versions.
Speaker: [David Bellstedt](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreasbellstedt/ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreasbellstedt/")

The future of our work starts with a conversation
*«The creative and UX industry is changing fast. Roles are shifting, tools are evolving, expectations are rising, and many people are asking what their skills will be worth in the future.»*
**This evening is not a classic Last Thursday Talk.** UX Schweiz and Syndicom invite the community to **a workshop and open exchange** for people working in UX, design, research, strategy, communication and related creative fields.
The focus is especially on people at the beginning of their careers, people in transition, and everyone currently asking: **What does the future of our work actually look like?** We want to create a space for hopes, concerns, changing roles, useful skills, new tools, AI, career paths and possible forms of support within the community. Uncertainty is allowed, but we do not want to stay stuck in fear.
The evening starts with a short input by **[Pascal Geronimi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-geronimi-5112b324/).** After that, we will work in small groups: collecting thoughts, clustering topics, discussing what matters most, and sharing key insights.
Together, we want to explore:
* What currently gives us hope?
* What feels uncertain or worrying?
* How are roles, tools and expectations changing?
* Which skills and mindsets might become more important?
* What kind of support could UX Schweiz, Syndicom or the wider community offer?
**This is an experimental format.** Because this is a workshop-style event, **places are limited**. Please only register if you are quite sure you can attend. If your plans change, please cancel your RSVP so someone else can join.
**Format**
* Short intro input
* Small-group exchange
* Shared takeaways in the plenum
* Optional informal drinks afterwards nearby
**A small question before you come**
You do not need to prepare anything. But take a moment to think about this: ***When you think about the future of your work: what gives you hope, and what makes you unsure?***
**Practical information**
• The event will be held in English.
• The number of participants is limited.
• Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start on time.

Operator Coffee
A small in-person breakfast for founders and operators in Zürich to talk about what they are building, running, and figuring out right now.
The idea is simple: coffee, breakfast, and one proper conversation with people who are building or running businesses here.
This is not a panel, not a pitch event, and not formal networking. No one is presenting. No one is selling from the front of the room. It is just a small group conversation around what people are actually working through right now.
We’ll keep the format simple:
* quick introductions
* what you are working on right now
* one shared question for the table
* open conversation over coffee and breakfast
The group is intentionally small so everyone can actually speak and get to know each other.
Everyone pays for their own coffee/breakfast.
Good fit if you are a founder, operator, or someone actively building/running a business in Zürich and you prefer real conversations over pitching.
Looking forward to meeting all of you as always.
Feel free to message me on meetup if you can't find me, I'll respond quickly.

ServiceNow AI Deep Dive: Hands-On Learning Session
We're planning a hands-on technical session focused on building AI solutions in ServiceNow - think skills, agents, and real-world use cases. If you’re curious about AI on the platform, RSVP now and stay tuned for more details. Let's build together!
AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
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, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
We’ll cover:
* What makes an AI “agent” 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.
Westerville Queer Coffee Meetup
WQC has weekly Thursday night social nights at the Westerville Java Central. Come and grab a coffee and connect with the community: low stakes, chill environment, and tasty drinks. No registration is required; come as you are.
COUNT RMH Housewarmer Volunteering (Ronald McDonald House)
Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process.
Fast track
• Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell).
• Show up and try it out.
• Complete application, etc. later.
Normal process
• Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/).
• Attend orientation in advance.
• At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility.
• Complete one training shift. Daily shifts are: morning 9 AM - 1 PM, afternoon 1 - 5 PM and evening 5 - 9 PM.
• Schedule shifts online using the on the RMH scheduling system (http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?FROM=32895).
The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014.
Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.
