AI at Irish SMEs: Insights from The Irish Times, Buymedia & Coolplanet
Curious about what Irish SMEs are actually doing with AI? We’re getting together with the folks from The Irish Times, Buymedia, and Coolplanet to look under the hood of their data stacks. They'll be sharing exactly how they use Snowflake AI to clean up messy documents, speed up data engineering, and turn weeks of work into hours. Drop by for some honest talk about what works in the real world, plus food, drinks, and a chance to catch up with the local Snowflake community.
**Right Story, Right Reader: Building a Hybrid News Recommendation Engine in Snowflake, Juliana Murphy, The Irish Times**
At The Irish Times Group — home to The Irish Times, Irish Examiner, Breaking News, The Echo, and more — we publish hundreds of articles every week. The challenge isn’t the quality of the journalism, but helping readers find the stories most relevant to them, as discovery becomes increasingly fragmented across search, social, and other channels.
In this session, Juliana Murphy walks through how The Irish Times built For Me — a pilot personalised content feed delivered three times daily to subscribers — using a fully native Snowflake architecture, with no external ML infrastructure or data movement outside the warehouse.
The session covers the full pipeline: converting article text into 1,024-dimensional vector embeddings with Snowflake Cortex, building subscriber preference profiles from behavioural data, and using native vector similarity scoring and task orchestration to generate recommendations end-to-end within the warehouse, with output delivered to subscribers via an S3 stage.
Beyond the technical build, we’ll explore the constraints unique to news. Unlike entertainment platforms, journalism must balance personal relevance with information diversity. We’ll show how editorial curation, controlled ranking logic, and user choice are embedded directly into the system design — and how those decisions shape both architecture and outcomes.
Key takeaways:
• Why editorial and ethical constraints belong in your data architecture, not just your product spec
• Building a production-grade recommendation pipeline natively in Snowflake (Tasks, Cortex embeddings, cosine similarity scoring, Python UDFs)
• What “hybrid” means in practice: combining ML signals with editorial control
• Why domain knowledge matters as much as model performance
**Accelerating Data Engineering with Snowflake Cortex Code, Jenny Zhou, Snowflake**
This demo showcases Cortex Code, Snowflake’s AI-powered coding agent designed to automate and optimize the end-to-end data development lifecycle. We will demonstrate how Cortex Code moves beyond simple code completion by leveraging platform awareness—integrating your database schema, security context, and execution logs directly into the development workflow.
**Extracting Structure from Chaos: Parsing Documents from 400+ Media Sources with Cortex AI at Buymedia, Estella Roberts, Buymedia**
At Buymedia, ingesting data from over 400 unique media sources is anything but clean. Every source brings its own document formats, layout quirks, and edge cases that completely break traditional extraction tools.
In this session, Estella Roberts shares how Buymedia transformed a manual, error-prone bottleneck into an automated, native pipeline using Snowflake Cortex AI and CORTEX.COMPLETE.
We'll dive deep into the architecture, explore the messiest edge cases, and share practical solutions for when unstructured documents refuse to cooperate.
Expect less theory, more real-world trade-offs, and actionable lessons on building resilient, modern AI pipelines.
**From Sprints to Hours: Building an AI-Powered Data Stack at Coolplanet, Niall Magee, Coolplanet**
At Coolplanet, we handle massive volumes of customer data effortlessly. But our internal business data? That started with Google Sheets, a basic BI tool, and a quiet confidence that it would scale. It didn't.
In this session, we’ll share our honest journey from a fragile spreadsheet setup to a production-grade modern data stack using Fivetran, dbt, and Snowflake. More importantly, we'll reveal how AI became our ultimate force multiplier, turning sprint-long tasks into hours-long workflows.
The highlight of the session is a deep dive into our AI-driven build process. We’ll show you how to take a plain-language brief and immediately generate dbt models, semantic layers, and functional Streamlit dashboards.
Key Takeaways:
* The AI Workflow: Practical steps to accelerate dbt, YAML, and SQL generation.
* The Stack Evolution: Honest lessons from migrating to Fivetran, dbt, and Snowflake.
* Beyond Traditional BI: Why we are shifting toward AI-scaffolded Streamlit apps.
* Snowflake Cortex: How to ground natural language queries in a governed semantic model.

Power Pages Server Logic and Copilot Apps
**Power Pages Server Logic: Finally, real backend power**
If you’ve built Power Pages portals before, you’ve probably had to juggle JavaScript, Liquid, and Power Automate just to implement what should be simple backend logic.
Finally, things are changing, Server-Side Logic introduces a new way to handle business rules, validations, and integrations—securely and in real time—without relying on workarounds.
In this session, we’ll break down what this means in practice, when to use it and how it compares to other methods. We’ll also run through a live demo to show how it works end-to-end.
bio:
**Oliver** **Rodrigues** is a Microsoft Business Application MVP and Power Platform Architect. He’s been working with Portals over the last several years and love to share knowledge and experience with the community.
**Prompt to App: Does Copilot Plans Actually Deliver?**
In this session, we’ll take a practical look at Copilot Plans in Microsoft Power Apps and see how far it can really go in building apps from a simple prompt. Starting with a real scenario, we’ll generate an app using Copilot, explore what it creates in Microsoft Dataverse, and review where it works well versus where it still needs manual refinement. Expect a live demo, honest observations, and a clear view of whether this is a genuine productivity boost or just a good starting point.

[FREE] 📸 Quality Time: The Photo Walk (Liffey Edition) 🏙️✨
**See Dublin through a new lens—and with new friends.**
Welcome to **Quality Time**. We’re "breaking up" with the shallow events to give you something better: a creative afternoon stroll designed to capture the soul of the city. This isn't about "the 'gram" or content creation; it's about the art of looking and the joy of being present.
We are so excited to co-host this walk with our wonderful community member, **Angie**.
Angie has a passion for capturing the hidden details of Dublin, and she’ll be guiding us to help find those perfect angles and unique perspectives that we usually miss while looking at our screens.
### 🥾 The Journey:
We’ll meet at the iconic Samuel Beckett Bridge and wind our way along the quays. Together, we’ll hunt for the beauty in Dublin’s architecture—from the grand Custom House to the historic Ha’penny Bridge.
* Duration: Approximately 2 hours of movement and creativity.
* The Finish Line: For those who fancy a treat, we’ll head to Cinnamood on O’Connell Street afterwards for coffee and their famous cinnamon rolls! ☕️🌀
***
### ✨ The Quality Time Vibe:
Before we set off, we’ll tuck our "connected" selves away (phones on aeroplane mode!) so we can truly engage with the city and each other.
**Connection that lasts:** Quality Time doesn't end when the walk does! We encourage everyone to share their favourite "snaps" in our community WhatsApp group afterwards. It’s a lovely way to see how we all saw the same city through different eyes. 🖼️🤝

Zero to Agent: Dublin | Give(a)Go
Give(a)Go is hosting a beginner-friendly agent builder day in Dublin on **May 2nd**, as part of a global week of building around AI agents.
**NOTE: To confirm your spot register on [www.giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent](https://giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent)**
Agents are the new apps. They don't just respond, they reason, plan, and act. They browse the web, call APIs, write code, send messages, and loop until the job is done. And right now, the tooling to build them has caught up with the ambition.
This is a beginner-friendly event.
This is a day to go from zero to a working agent. Something that actually does something. Not a demo, not a prototype sitting in a notebook -- a deployed, live, usable thing with a URL you can share.
## Build tracks
You can choose one of the tracks below, or mix tools if your idea needs it.
## Track 1: Vibe coding agents with Vercel
Use Vercel’s tools to go quickly from idea to deployed agent.
This track is for people who want to build fast, prototype with natural language, create interfaces, connect tools, and ship something live by the end of the day.
**v0 + MCPs**
Go from prompt to interface, then connect your app to real tools and data.
**Workflow Development Kit**
Build durable agent workflows that can run async tasks, recover from failures, and continue across deploys.
**ChatSDK Agents**
Create agents that live inside chat-based workflows like Slack, Discord, GitHub, or your own product.
**NOTE: To confirm your spot register on [www.giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent](https://giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent)**
# Track 2: Production-ready agents with Lua
Use Lua to build agents that connect to real tools, APIs, and business workflows.
This track is for builders who want to write actual agent logic in TypeScript, define custom tools, connect external services, test locally, and deploy without managing infrastructure.
Lua is especially useful for agents that need to work across real channels like web, mobile, Slack, email, WhatsApp, Instagram, or Facebook Messenger, while handling hosting, scaling, orchestration, context, retries, and monitoring behind the scenes.
Good for builders who want to create agents that feel closer to real products: customer support agents, lead qualification agents, internal operations agents, e-commerce assistants, research agents, workflow automations, and API-connected assistants.
**What to Expect on the Day**
* A full day of focused building with other motivated builders
* Short kickoff to set direction and expectations
* Focused on hands-on learning, learning by doing
* Build solo or collaborate with someone new
* End-of-day demos where people shares what they shipped
***
## Schedule
🕙 **11:00 AM** — Doors open
💡 **11:15 AM** — Welcome + kickoff
🎨 **12:00 PM** — Inspiration & scoping
🍕 **1:00 PM** — Lunch
🖥️ **4 :30 PM** — Live demos & shipped agents showcase
**NOTE: To confirm your spot register on [www.giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent](https://giveago.co/register/zero-to-agent)**
## Global prizes
Builders who submit through the global build week will also be eligible for the global competition, with **$6,000+ in prizes**.
Top submissions can win up to **$3,000 in credits plus Vercel Pro**. There will also be a **Community Favourite** award voted on by builders globally on May 3 and 4.

CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
Practical AI for Power BI Developers
A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective.
This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly.
Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
Raising Conscious Kids – A Unity Family Experience
At Unity of Columbus, our Youth and Family Ministry nurtures the spiritual growth of children and families through love, joy, and practical spiritual teachings. Each Sunday, children explore timeless spiritual principles through stories, creative activities, music, and group sharing in a safe and welcoming environment.
Our program encourages children to discover their own inner light, express kindness, and develop a personal connection with God. Together, we celebrate diversity, cultivate understanding, and inspire each child to live with purpose and compassion. Parents and families are invited to join in this uplifting journey of learning, laughter, and spiritual connection.
