In many organizations, APIs are treated as technical contracts — neat documentation of endpoints and payloads. But what if APIs could become something more: living expressions of the business domain itself? This talk examines how Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and modern API craftsmanship converge to establish a shared language between people and systems. We’ll walk through how techniques like Domain Storytelling, Event Storming, and Context Mapping can lead directly into OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specifications that reflect real domain intent — not just data structures. **How can LLM help?** Along the way, we’ll see how Large Language Models (LLMs) can amplify human creativity — helping teams turn visual domain artifacts into executable API contracts while preserving intent and nuance. Instead of replacing design thinking, AI becomes a collaborator in the craftsmanship process. Through practical examples, we’ll explore how bounded contexts define API boundaries, how ubiquitous language shapes resource and event models, and how contract-first design enables safe, evolutionary change. By the end, you’ll see APIs not merely as integration points, but as living domain boundaries to align architecture, business, and shared understanding. **About the speaker** [Annegret](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-annegret-junker-141a99a4/) is Chief Software Architect at codecentric AG in Germany. She has worked in software development for over 30 years. She worked in quite different roles and domains. She is especially interested in DDD, microservices, and everything else. She is working on a large integration project and defines APIs for partners. **The Sponsor** This time, the location, food, and drinks are sponsored by [TechTalk](https://techtalk.at/).

In this talk, Tobias will present the key findings of the PwC x PMI Study 2025, which examines the state of agility in Austrian companies. We will look at how organizations understand agility today, the main barriers to scaling it, the rise of hybrid models, and the (still limited) role of AI in agile work. Attendees will leave with a clear picture of where Austrian companies stand — and what separates those who use Agile methods from those who truly live Agility!

OG (Entrance next to Max & Benito) 1020 Wien **Sponsors:** 🙏 Sentry Sentry is the market leader in the error monitoring space and like many startups with engineer founders, Sentry was born out of frustration with technology. David started Sentry as an open-source side project in 2008. We started in a small community — the Django web framework — and over time expanded our technology to support dozens of other platforms, including browser JavaScript and mobile applications. Fast forward to today, we're a $90M Series E company with a $3B valuation and 200+ employees on a mission to help developers write better software faster, so we can get back to enjoying technology. As one can see, the adventure continues to be exciting as we bring our developer-first Application Monitoring to more customers and industries worldwide. Consider us for the ride!

If you are curious to know about what Notion can do this meetup is for you. **Speakers:** Philipp Stelzel, Nooa Adams and Beatrix Beer **Agenda**: We will present a workflow in **two different AI environments** — **Notion AI** and **Claude** — where an **AI agent turns AI meeting notes into a draft offer** (positioning, outline, and key messaging), and we’ll compare the process, the results, and the **credits/tokens consumed** while producing the same outcome. Philipp will demo the workflow using Notion AI and we’ll track how many AI credits it consumes along the way. Nooa will run the exact same workflow in Claude so we can compare results side-by-side and see how the credit usage differs. Beatrix will present in German about „Mehr als Mails und PDFs – mit einem Notion-Kundenportal zur Premium-Kundenbetreuung“ **Afterwards**: Drinks, food, networking, template swaps, and questions answered. Join us, meet fellow Notioneers, and level up your workflow

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.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
