Zürich Poolside Chats : UX · Product · Research
### **Poolside Chats: Design, Research, Engineering & UX**
Join us for a relaxed summer gathering at one of Zurich’s local Badis.
This is a casual community meetup for designers, researchers developers, product managers, and other curious builders who enjoy thoughtful conversations, sharing ideas, and spending time outdoors.
We’ll gather by the pool to discuss topics such as:
* Passion projects
* Design, technology, and product thinking
* Ethical and responsible uses of AI
* Creativity, learning, and experimentation
* Personal philosophies and ways of working
* Interesting questions about the future
The format is intentionally informal. Feel free to join a conversation, listen, ask questions, or share something you’ve been exploring.
Need a break? Take a swim, cool off, and come back with a fresh perspective or a new idea to discuss.
This is not a recruiting event, job fair, or transactional networking meetup. While meaningful professional relationships may naturally develop over time, the purpose of the gathering is not to find clients, hire employees, or look for your next job. Instead, the goal is to create a welcoming space for genuine conversation, intellectual curiosity, and human connection.
Bring your curiosity, a towel, and whatever ideas have been occupying your mind lately.
\*Come to exchange ideas, not business cards.\*

ZurichJS Meetup: Beers, grills, and how to monetize
No slides, no schedule. We're meeting up for a relaxed ZurichJS summer meetup with drinks, barbecue, and people who build things.
If you’re shipping an AI tool, a vibe-coded side project, a SaaS product, or an existing app that could use a better business model, bring it along. We’ll hang out, compare notes, and brainstorm how to turn useful software into something that actually makes money.
Let's get the bbq going with beers and geeks.
Important: this is a potluck edition. Bring your preferred barbecue option (and maybe some extra to share if you want), some picnic blankets or picnic chairs, anything that you'd normally bring to a picnic. We're a big family at the end of the day 🫶

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.
Men of Unity and Community
**Men of Unity** is a safe, welcoming space for men to connect, share, and grow together. In this circle, we explore what it means to live with purpose, integrity, and spiritual awareness in today’s world.
Through open dialogue, reflection, and mutual support, we learn to balance strength with compassion, confidence with humility, and action with mindfulness. Whether you’re seeking deeper spiritual connection, personal clarity, or simply a supportive brotherhood, this group invites you to bring your authentic self and grow in community.
This week the Men's of Group will meet at Scrambler's - the North Hamilton Road location:
5729 North Hamilton Road
Columbus, 43230
Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 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.
