**Speakers:** Haowen Huang - Senior Developer Advocate, Amazon Web Services Jacky Wu - Sr. Solutions Architect, Amazon Web Services **Language:** Cantonese **Important notes:** We’re partnering with AgentCon Hong Kong! Our community will join **AgentCon Hong Kong**, a global developer conference focused on AI Agents and autonomous AI organized by the Global AI Community. To attend this workshop, **you must register on the official AgentCon page by the Global AI Hong Kong chapter as well!** Registration on this User Group page **does not** grant venue access. **Official Registration (Required):** [https://globalai.community/chapters/hong-kong/events/agentcon-hong-kong/](https://globalai.community/chapters/hong-kong/events/agentcon-hong-kong/) *** **Important Notes for All Attendees** **1️⃣ Registration Required for Entry** All participants **must** register on the official AgentCon Hong Kong.

Arrive early to secure your ticket. **Join AgentCon and learn about agents. We are happy to have a workshop that day.** **Description:** Generative AI tools have democratized software development, enabling both developers and non-technical users to build applications efficiently. However, these tools struggle with enterprise-level challenges: inadequate project planning, unstructured workflows, poor enterprise integration, and inconsistent code quality. Kiro, AWS's AI IDE tool, addresses these gaps by integrating specification-driven development, structural design, test validation, and automated execution into a standardized, traceable workflow. At re:Invent 2025, AWS launched “Kiro Powers”—extensible capability packages that inject domain-specific expertise into Kiro AI agents. Each Power provides: \- Domain guidance via steering files \(POWER\.md\) \- Tool integration \(MCP services for databases\, payments\, deployment\) \- Automated Hooks for event\-driven actions \(API testing\, infrastructure code generation\) Unlike traditional coding assistants, Kiro + Powers covers the entire development lifecycle—from requirements to deployment—while reducing token costs and ensuring consistent code quality. We'll demonstrate Kiro's capabilities by building a game using Specs, Powers, and Hooks, showcasing its enterprise-grade advantages in planning, automation, and quality assurance. **First come, first served if the number of attendees exceeds capacity!**

Borders Our host, Jenn, is looking for stories about borders. A physical barricade. A social stigma. A self-imposed ideal. What borders have you had to cross? We’re looking for true, first-person stories about getting past whatever’s in your way, or at least trying your darndest to. The *Borders* live storytelling show is on Thursday, 30th April. If you’ve got a story or just an idea in mind, come to one of our pitch workshops at the beginning of April. If your story is shortlisted for the show, our host will work with you as you polish and rehearse it. 📌 Story Requirements: * Your story must be true * It must be told in the first person—you are the main character * It should be between 5-10 minutes You don't need to have a completed or polished story ready - just a beginning idea is okay.

Everyone has a story to tell, and everyone loves a story. Note: Please update your RSVP, ideally 12 hours before the event if you're unable to make it. Repeated no shows will be moved to not-going / removed from the group to open up slot for people on the waitlist.

The uncomfortable truth is that most AI Agents today are just Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities with a friendly personality. In this session, we will dismantle a standard "Production Ready" Agent live on stage, demonstrating how a simple prompt injection can exfiltrate secrets. Then, we will rebuild it using Defense in Depth: 1\. Code: block malicious imports\, prompt injections\. 2\. Compute: Sandboxing for isolated workloads\. 3\. Identity: Zero Trust tool usage without worrying leakage of credentials\. Stop building chatbots. Start building secure autonomous systems. [2] **From Idea to Impact: A Realistic 90-day Roadmap for Launching Your First Business AI Agent** Time: **4:00pm - 4:25pm** Speakers: **Henry Wong - Data Scientist** **Alex Au - Cloud Engineer, Hong Kong Economic Times** Language: **Cantonese** Model: **Speech** Description: A roadmap that takes a business from initial AI agent idea to a live, value-creating deployment in 90 days, designed for SMBs, mid-market teams and departments. This talk walks through 4 phases: rapid scoping and prep, fast prototyping, controlled piloting with metrics, and safe production launch. \*\*\* Important notes: 🎉 We’re partnering with AgentCon Hong Kong!

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
