Building the wrong things faster. AI and the Build Trap
**đ˘ Hosted at:**
Fabric Group
**đ Building the Wrong Thing Faster: AI and the Build Trap**
AI has dramatically compressed the time it takes to build software. But it hasn't stopped us building products that nobody wants.
If anything, it's accelerated the problem - to the point we've invented a new word for the output: ***slop***.
Drawing on observations from Brendan's consulting work and conversations with friends at ***Google, Meta and Spotify***, He'll explore how this ***isn't really a new problem*** and why now, more than ever, we need human centricity, sound product strategy and product discovery.
**đ¤ Speakers:**
***Brendan Marsh*** is a Product & Org Advisor and Director at ***Organa***, where he helps organisations improve product strategy, org design and execution at scale.
He previously served as ***Chief Product Officer*** of a mental health non-profit and spent five years at ***Spotify*** during its hyper-growth phase, first as an ***Agile Coach*** supporting innovation and product discovery teams and later as a ***Product Manager*** responsible for the Mac and Windows clients (40M+ MAU).
***Ruben Cardoso*** is the ***Head of Product & Design*** at ***Fabric Group***. An experienced UX/UI designer specialising in product design and delivery, with a strong track record running discovery-to-delivery cycles for large enterprise clients.
***Dzmitry Yaltykhau*** is the ***Delivery Practice Lead*** at ***Fabric Group.*** Leads large-scale product design and delivery programs end-to-end from presales through discovery, build and rollout while driving best practices, coaching and AI-accelerated ways of working across the team.

EUXMELB - May Meetup
With our next EUXMELB meetup on the 28th of May, I'm excited to announce that **Natalie Ellis, Partner and COO at The Product Bus, will be presenting 'Your skills *are* the product'.**
According to Harvard Business School 95% of new products launched every year *fail.* Natalie is here to argue that the reason for these failures isn't a lack of talent or tools, but because no one stops to ask whether the market actually wants or needs these things before shipping them. Online rhetoric discusses how AI is transforming the design, product and engineering worlds, but from her perspective, Natalie believes AI is actively multiplying the rate of failure because it's now possible to build something no-one asked for in an hour from your Mac mini.
Natalie is here to tell us why evidence-based, commercially focused product thinking is more critical than ever for countering the wasted time and resources spent shipping products no one asked for. She will explain why the skills designers and researchers already possess are the real commercial asset and how people in these roles can start treating them as such.
Natalie has spent her career turning consumer insights into product and commercial decisions across startups, enterprise, government digital services and institutional programs. Following a decade rising through a global market research agency, she jumped ship to an early-stage market research startup before spending several years as a product strategist designing and delivering national digital health services. As Partner & COO at The Product Bus she is passionate about helping founders, teams and businesses make real progress through evidence based decisions and passionate about helping them stress-test ideas before they commit to building. She escaped the city for rural life in the Alpine Shire several years ago where she has become an accidental pumpkin farmer and enjoys crocheting while watching crime drama.
Event will start at 5:30pm with Pizza, Drinks and networking with the talk starting at 6pm. We are in the Jenny Florence Room on Level 3 at The Ross House Association.
**Please enter code #TBC and come up to level 3 where you will need to enter the code again to gain access.**
This event is sponsored by [askable](https://www.askable.com/) ([https://www.askable.com/](https://www.askable.com/)) and Experience Design "UX" Agency [blueegg](http://www.blueegg.com.au/) ([http://www.blueegg.com.au/](http://www.blueegg.com.au/))
What if your best broker worked 24/7?
Join us for a practical, in-person workshop where you will build and launch your own **AI-powered FrontDesk agent** in just 60 minutes. There is no coding required and no technical jargon.
This session is hosted and run independently by **builure**. We are keeping the group small, with a strict limit of 20 to 25 participants, to ensure everyone gets the hands-on support they need to walk away with a working result.
**Why Mortgage Brokers Need This**
In the broking world, speed is everything. If a lead reaches out about a pre-approval or a rate inquiry and you don't reply immediately, theyâve already moved on to the next broker. Research shows that 82% of customers expect an instant response. This workshop ensures you never miss a beat.
**What Youâll Build**
In just one hour, you will configure a high-performing AI assistant tailored for your brokerage that can:
* **Respond to Enquiries 24/7:** Deliver answers in under 2 seconds.
* **Automate Your Calendar:** Book appointments directly into Google or Outlook without the back and forth.
* **Omnichannel Presence:** Work across your website, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger.
* **Qualify Leads**: Automatically score and qualify inquiries so you focus on the high-value clients.
* **Multilingual Support:** Communicate fluently in over 70 languages.
**Expert Guidance**
The workshop is led by **Eshan Pandey, a Solutions Architect** with over 15 years of experience designing enterprise-grade automation and AI systems. Heâll be there to guide you through the setup personally.
**The Result**
You wonât just learn about AI. Youâll walk away with a fully configured AI assistant ready to handle your front desk and support your business from day one.
*Secure your spot now. With only 20 to 25 seats available, these positions will fill up fast.*
The Creative Hustle: Monthly Community Drinks For Creative Professionals
Join us at our monthly networking drinks in May at our new venue, **Village Belle, St Kilda.**
*(Please note a ticket is now required to attend this event, these can be purchased via this link [here](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/social-drinks-for-creative-professionals-tickets-1989803804744?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true)). You can read more on this below.*
Welcoming all professional visionaries, creators and artists in the Melbourne entrepreneur and creative scene. You may be a musician, writer, photographer, designer, model, dancer, comedian or perhaps you run a business in the creative field or anything in between.
The Creative Hustle is a social events group aimed at providing a hub for the professional artists, creatives and entrepreneurs of the Melbourne creative and arts scenes!
**(Please only attend if you fall in to these categories! There are plenty of other social meetups for people who do not have a creative hustle.)**
You know those conversations that just light you up? Make you remember why you started this journey and inspire you? This is where youâll find them.
This group is more than just networking, itâs about meeting people who are on a similar journey to you where you can share your experiences to support each other, make genuine friends and perhaps find some people to collaborate with too!
Creativity can be bombarded by digital interactions, and require us to spend hours alone to work on our craft, often leading many people to mental health issues and feelings of isolation and loneliness. The Creative Hustle believes in the power of genuine friendships and human connection. As creatives, we know that some of our greatest inspirations and collaborations stem from the bonds we form with one another. This group is equally about social networking as it is business.
Itâs time to stretch outside the comfort zone to forge new pathways in your profession all while building lasting friendships that enrich our lives in ways that only real connections can.
**NOTE ON TICKETS:**
I have always run Creative Hustle events for the last 3 years+ for free, and my mission has always been to keep them accessible for creatives. However I sacrifice time away from clients on Thursday nights, meaning that whilst keeping it accessible for others I haven't been able to keep it viable for myself. Moving forward, to keep it viable, cover costs of running the event, book better venues, help manage numbers and continue to attract people who are serious about what they do, I will be introducing a small fee. For this event your $20 ticket gets you a drink on entry (most house beer, wines and spirits are about $14-$15 at Village Belle) and the rest will be split across the above. Thank you for your understanding!
This format is very loose! Sometimes we follow, sometimes we let the conversation flow - it largely depends on sound levels at the venue:
15 min - General networking & social chat
30 min - 45 min - Round table intros: space for each person to share their creative endeavour for 1 min
15 min - Conversation & discussion cues (letâs chat on some deep topics with a stranger )
15 min - general networking & social chat
Iâm excited to meet you all!
I know that coming to a meetup and meeting new people can feel scary for some people but we are a very welcoming and open group and canât wait to meet new people. Most people that come to our events donât know anyone! Life is better with great people in it!
Shoot me a message if you have any questions or just want a point of contact before your first meetup
**Definition of a Creative Hustle:**
Something that you are pursuing either as a side business, full time business or professional/semi professional that involves you creating something from nothing.
If you are a: Musician, Dancer, Fashion Designer, Photographer, Videographer, Graphic Designer, Actor, Interior Designer, freelancer, business owner, work for a company within the arts industry, or anything else I have missed that qualifies as creative, then this Meetup is for you.
Please respect that this is a group for people who put their heart and souls in to their work, and not just a group anyone can come to for networking unless you fall into the above categories. Please message if unsure.
Look forward to meeting you at our next event!
\*\*\*
**CODE OF CONDUCT:**
1. You have a creative hustle which means you are pursuing something which requires you to create, and you are pursuing this professionally as your full time business, side business, you work in a creative industry or because you love it.
2. All members will show respect to other members and patrons in the meetup/event/venue. Respect can be shown by not boxing people out of conversations, welcoming all new and old members, not continuously interrupting people, not continuously speaking over the top of others, respecting someoneâs personal space and boundaries.
3. You must consider others in conversation and ensure it is two-sided, you may equally talk about your creative hustle as much as you are willing to ask somebody about theirs.
4. We encourage each other on our journeys and ask someone if they are open to advice before giving it. No one likes being told what they should do!
5. This is not a group or event to be used for dating. Contacts can be made on the basis of friendship or networking.
6. If anyone is made to feel uncomfortable for any of the above reasons, they should contact me directly.
7. People will not attend who are unwell, even if it is just a cold. People in this group rely on their health to show up to self-employed work, please do not put that at risk by showing up unwell.
