**DOVE**: [Radical HR](https://radicalhr.it/) \- Future of Work House Viale Emilio Caldara\, 13\, 20122 Milano MI \(M3 \- Porta Romana\)\. **QUANDO**: 10 marzo 2026 alle 18.30 **TEMA**: Avete mai pensato come fosse versatile AWS Bedrock? Nella sede di **Radical HR**, **Matteo Fratesi** (CTO di Radical HR) e **Mario Carcota** (Lead Full Stack Engineer di Radical HR) ci racconteranno come hanno domato i superpoteri di AWS Bedrock e sono riusciti a incanalarli all'interno di un SaaS B2B; mentre **Andrea Saltarello** (founder di [Improove](https://www.improove.tech/)) ci spiegherà come puo essere l'ingrediente perfetto della ricetta per Retrieval-Augmented Generation. A seguire l'aperitivo di networking, gentilmente offerto da **Radical HR.** \-\-\- **AGENDA** 👋 18.30 - Welcome! ☁️ 18.45 - Introduzione - Matteo Fratesi CTO di Radical HR. 🎤 18.50 - Implementare un AI Agent con i superpoteri su AWS - Matteo Fratesi CTO di Radical HR e Mario Carcota Lead Full Stack Engineer di Radical HR. 🎤 19:20 - Real world Retrieval-Augmented Generation - Andrea Saltarello founder di Improove. 🍻 19.50 - Aperitivo di Networking \-\-\- **TALK** **Implementare un AI Agent con i superpoteri su AWS** **Matteo Fratesi** \- CTO di Radical HR **Mario Carcota** \- Lead Full Stack Engineer di Radical HR Passare da un semplice bot no-code a un AI Agent capace di eseguire azioni complesse richiede scelte architetturali precise. In questo talk vi porteremo alla scoperta di **come si costruisce un AI Agent all’interno di un SaaS B2B** come Skillsincloud, il nostro LMS proprietario che viene utilizzato da +100k utenti. Analizzeremo l’integrazione dei modelli di **AWS Bedrock** all'interno della nostra infrastruttura esistente, affrontando le vere sfide di produzione: * **Oltre la Chat**: Orchestrare il "Tool Use" per permettere all'AI di interagire con il database e non solo di conversare. * **Sicurezza:** Pattern di design per il controllo dei permessi (RBAC) e flussi di conferma "Human-in-the-loop" per prevenire azioni non autorizzate. * **Knowledge Base**: Strategie di RAG per rendere l'agente consapevole del contesto multi-tenant Uno sguardo pratico sull'architettura che stiamo adottando per portare l'AI generativa nel cuore dei processi della piattaforma. **Real world Retrieval-Augmented Generation** **Andrea Saltarello -** Founder di Improove Dalla ricerca vettoriale con Aurora PostgreSQL ai modelli LLM e di embedding con Amazon Bedrock (e suburbia), AWS mette a disposizione tutti gli ingredienti necessari per implementare Retrieval-Augmented Generation: a fare la differenza, però, è la ricetta, a partire dall'arricchimento dei metadati. In questo talk, vedremo l'implementazione di uno scenario reale. \-\-\- **CALL4SPEAKER**: vorresti presentare un tuo speech ai prossimi Meetup?

Sei un remote worker? Uno studente? Un freelance? Ti serve un luogo calmo dove lavorare senza distrazioni, senza pressione, e allo stesso tempo socializzare?

Rimani il tempo che ti serve: l’incontro è flessibile, discreto, operativo. Remote Circle non è un workshop e non è coworking. È un appuntamento leggero, replicabile, pensato per creare continuità senza esposizione.

Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer. Thanks to our 2026 sponsors: [Clarivoy](https://www.clarivoy.com), [What Box Consulting Group](https://www.whatboxconsultinggroup.com), [Conductrics](https://www.conductrics.com), and [Piwik PRO](https://piwik.pro) More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

Drake Lundstrom is presenting: Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone Abstract: Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need! If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo. Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.
