Enabling Every Function with AI, and Shipping at AI Speed
For our May meetup, the Protex AI Budapest community is inaugurating our new office, and we're hosting two deep-dive talks from the Protex AI team: one on enabling every function in your company with AI, and one on shipping enterprise-grade products at AI speed.
**Shipping an Enterprise-Grade Mobile App in 12 Weeks: Pitch, Plan, Build, Legal, App Stores**
Erzsébet Somogyi, Engineering Manager, Protex AI
LinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/erzsebet-somogyi/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/erzsebet-somogyi/)
Erzsébet is an Engineering Manager at Protex AI. She joined from Google, where she was part of the Assistant team (serving over 1B daily active users), and previously served as CTO at SimpledCard and Director of Video Platform at Canal Digital AS.
Erzsó will share how a team of three pitched, planned, built, cleared legal, and shipped an enterprise-grade mobile app to both the App Store and Play Store in 12 weeks. Protex AI's products are trusted by enterprises like DHL, P&G, Toyota, GM, and Coca-Cola, and you'll leave with hard-earned lessons on how to move fast without breaking the things that matter.
**How to Get Your Company AI Pilled**
David Souza, Director of AI & Engineering, Protex AI
LinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/souza-david/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/souza-david/)
David will share how Protex AI got everyone in the company building with AI, not just Engineering, but Sales, Marketing, Finance, Legal, People, Product, Security, and Client teams. Expect a practical playbook for taking a company AI-native: what worked, what didn't, and the concrete patterns you can copy.
The Protex AI Budapest community brings together builders, researchers, and curious minds to explore how AI is being applied in real-world systems, right here in Budapest.
Whether you're rolling out AI across your company or shipping your next product at speed, you'll leave with practical ideas you can apply immediately.

Felhő európai szabályok szerint: AWS Sovereign Cloud
**Felhő európai szabályok szerint: AWS Sovereign Cloud** / **Cloud on European Terms: AWS Sovereign Cloud**
🇬🇧 English version below 👇
***
**Adat. Szabályozás. Kontroll.**
Három kulcsszó, amelyek ma már nem csak technológiai kérdések — hanem üzleti döntések, versenyelőnyök és kockázatok forrásai.
Hol vannak valójában az adataid?
Ki gyakorol felettük kontrollt?
És mennyire vagy felkészülve a folyamatosan szigorodó európai szabályozási környezetre?
Csatlakozz az **AWS User Group Budapest** vezetői fókuszú, exkluzív meetupjára, ahol bemutatjuk az **AWS European Sovereign Cloud** koncepcióját és valódi jelentőségét. Megmutatjuk, hogyan teremthet egyensúlyt a felhő skálázhatósága, az adat-szuverenitás és a működési autonómia között —üzleti, nem technológiai szemszögből.
Ez az esemény azoknak a döntéshozóknak szól, akik nem csak reagálni akarnak a szabályozásra, hanem stratégiai előnyt kovácsolnának belőle!
Keynote előadónk **Markus Ostertag**, az európai felhőszabályozás és digitális szuverenitás egyik legismertebb szakértője.
Mellette felhőbiztonsági, jogi és architektúra‑szakértőkből álló kerekasztal beszélgetés keretében járjuk körül , hogy milyen valós üzleti és működési következményekkel jár az európai szabályozás alá tartozó vállalatok számára az AWS European Sovereign Cloud. Az este zárásaként Dr. Pejó Balázs veszi át a szót, és tömör előadásában bemutatja, milyen modern technológiák segíthetnek abban, hogy a vállalatok érzékeny adatokat használjanak elemzéshez vagy mesterséges intelligenciához úgy, hogy közben csökkentik az adatszivárgás és az egyének visszaazonosításának kockázatát.

Data residency. Regulatory compliance. Operational autonomy. These are no longer just IT concerns — they're boardroom conversations.

ProductTank Meetup
We’re excited to host our next Product Meetup, co-organised by Wise & Startup Hungary. We have three insightful sessions lined up for you:
**PM-ing a Product Nobody Asked For - András Lebó (Product Manager at Wise)**
Data scientists can build anything themselves. That's what makes them the hardest users to build a platform for. They have notebooks, custom pipelines, workarounds that work. Why would they switch?
András will share his learnings on PM-ing a data science platform: finding the real bottlenecks, earning trust from users who could out-engineer your solution, and measuring success when your contribution hides behind another team's objective.
**Building the Engine Behind the Product - Balázs Dósa (Product Manager at Wise)**
Ever wonder what happens when a fintech serving 19M+ customers decides to bet big on internal platforms?
Join us as we pull back the curtain on:
* The Why — What made Wise go all-in on internal platforms
* The Hard Parts — The real challenges no one warns you about
* The Payoff — What success actually looks like (and how we measure it)
Whether you're building platforms, considering the investment, or just platform-curious — this one's for you.
**Build to Learn: How AI Tools Are Changing What's Possible for Product Managers - István Szabó (Product Manager at SAP Emarsys)**
"Can we ship this table tomorrow?" Sometimes the most important product work is knowing what NOT to ship. Learn how one PM used AI tools to independently investigate a production data issue—tracing through two codebases, validating 82,000+ records across multiple customers, and delivering an evidence-based decision in half a day instead of one week. We'll walk through the real investigation, and show you a repeatable "Build to Learn" practice you can start using next week to tackle PM work that was previously impossible.
## Schedule:
* 18:00-18:30 - Arrival + Intro
* 18:30-19:00 - PM-ing a Product Nobody Asked For
* 19:00-19:30 - Building the Engine Behind the Product
* 19:30-20:00 - Build to Learn: How AI Tools Are Changing What's Possible for Product Managers
* 20:00-21:30 - Drinks, Pizza, Networking 🍕

Budapest Databricks Meetup #3: Metadata, AI & SAP Integration
We’re back with the third edition of the Budapest Databricks Meetup, a gathering for Databricks users, data engineers, analytics professionals, AI practitioners, and everyone interested in modern data platforms.
This time, we’ll explore how **metadata** is becoming a key driver of **enterprise AI**, how **lineage** can help teams better understand KPI changes across BI environments, and how Databricks engineers can better navigate and integrate with the **SAP ecosystem**.
📍 **Location:** Agora Park, Hub 3, 4th floor (Árbóc utca 1–3, 1133 Budapest)
📅 **Date:** May 27\, 2026 \| 18:00–20:30 \(detailed agenda below\)
🤝 **Organizer:** Abylon Consulting
🍕 **Catering:** Pizza, snacks & beer
**Beyond the Data: How Metadata is Reshaping Enterprise AI with Databricks**
🔹 Miguel Angel de Luna Gomez – Practice Lead EMEA, Databricks
Enterprise data has always been at the heart of understanding how businesses really work. But things are changing. Today, it’s not just about the data itself, but also the metadata around it — and that shift is opening the door to a whole new generation of AI capabilities.
In this session, Miguel will explore how organizations can accelerate their AI journey by combining Databricks with existing enterprise data landscapes. He’ll also introduce emerging patterns in enterprise AI, including how users can interact with enterprise data using natural language and what these capabilities look like in practice.
**Why Did the KPI Change? End-to-End Lineage from Databricks to Power BI**
🔹 Edina Vedelek & Olivér Vetési – Abylon Consulting
A practical look at how to cut through dashboard confusion by connecting backend SQL dependencies with Power BI reporting layers. Crossing the bridge between the two, thanks to Databrick AI (agent) and some Power BI tricks.
This session will explore how metadata-driven lineage helps teams:
➡️ Assess downstream impact faster
➡️ Reduce dependency chaos between engineering and reporting teams
➡️ Move from guesswork to clear answers
➡️ Replicable automated information retrieval
**SAP Data Meets Databricks: A Data Engineer’s Perspective**
🔹 Gábor Takács – Abylon Consulting
In this session, we’ll explore how to work with SAP data from a Databricks data engineer’s perspective. We’ll cover common integration patterns, typical challenges, and practical ways to extract and make SAP data usable in a modern data platform.
🗓️ **Agenda**
17:30–18:00 — Arrival & Registration
18:00–18:30 — SAP Data Landscape from a Databricks Engineer’s Perspective

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!”

Prompting Is Not Magic: How to Give AI Better Context
Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless.
But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one.
We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows.
No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with.
**What you’ll learn:**
* Why “better prompting” is really about better context
* How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers
* How to use examples, constraints, and output formats
* How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough
* How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows
This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI.
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.
