Thomas’s AI agent runs 25+ tasks in the background handling his daily marketing, growth, and trading tasks — all orchestrated through a personal AI setup he calls his HQ.
He'll walk through how it evolved, what it actually does, and one side effect worth mentioning: his AI agent Alex ended up building a small course (content, frontend, backend, payments) that's now selling on its own.
**[Florian Beer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/florianbeer/)** - **My AI Knows My Fridge**
"Bot Appetit" — What happens when you teach your AI assistant to handle your food? A look behind the scenes of custom-built skills, reverse-engineered APIs, and a bot that's slowly getting to know my fridge better than I do.

Taking OpenClaw from Personal Setup to Team Product
Clemens is building Pinchy (**[heypinchy.com](https://heypinchy.com/)**), an open-source platform that brings OpenClaw to teams: multi-user support, agent permissions, audit trails, the full enterprise package. Fully vibe-coded, publicly documented from day one, 17 days in and 300+ commits deep.
He'll walk through how a personal OpenClaw setup evolves into a product built for organizations and give a live demo of where it stands today.

English description below.
Dieses kostenfreie Event richtet sich an Menschen, die selbstständig sind und ihre Reise mit neuen Perspektiven, wertvollen Kontakten und spannenden Insights bereichern möchten.
**Das erwartet dich bei unserem Meetup:**
🌟 **Expertentalk von Daniel Toth (Co-Founder und Geschäftsführer Klartext AI)**
Daniel berichtet über die Reise seines Teams: Vom schnellen Verwerfen der ursprünglichen Produktidee über den Switch zum Dienstleitungsmodell bis hin zum Wachstum auf 9 Mitarbeitende innerhalb kürzester Zeit.
Learnings aus 8 Jahren Fraunhofer-Forschung und der harten Schule des Bootstrappings. Er erklärt, warum Human in the Loop“ bei ihnen kein Buzzword, sondern das Fundament für Qualität ist und wie man durch extrem schnelle Iterationen (POCs) Vertrauen bei Kunden aufbaut.
Key-Learnings des Talks:
• Der Pivot: Warum es okay ist, seine Idee nach 4 Wochen über Bord zu werfen.
• Service vs. Product: Wie Dienstleistungen als Motor für Wachstum und Marktverständnis dienen.
• Speed wins: Mit „Evaluation Driven Design“ schneller Ergebnisse liefern als die Konkurrenz.
• Wachstums-Hacks: Networking und Akquise-Strategien, die den Umsatz verfünffacht haben.
🤝 **Austausch auf Augenhöhe:** In einer entspannten Atmosphäre kannst du dich mit Gleichgesinnten vernetzen, Ideen austauschen und von den Erfahrungen anderer profitieren.
🍹 **Gechillte Atmosphäre:** Uns ist wichtig, dass du dich wohlfühlst und Spaß hast. Wenn sich daraus ein neuer Geschäftskontakt oder eine Zusammenarbeit entwickelt – umso besser!
🚀 **Unser Ziel:** Wir möchten dir nicht nur die Möglichkeit bieten, neue Leute kennenzulernen und echte Verbindungen zu schaffen, sondern dir auch praktische Werkzeuge an die Hand geben, die deinen unternehmerischen Alltag erleichtern und dein Business optimieren.

Welcome to *"Build & Connect"*, the meet-up for entrepreneurs and everyone aspiring to become one – hosted by Gründerio.
This free event is tailored for self-employed individuals looking to enrich their journey with fresh perspectives, valuable connections, and inspiring insights. Of course, those still in the planning stages of self-employment are also warmly invited!
Here’s what awaits you at our meet-up:
🌟 **Expert Talk will be held in German:**
**Daniel Toth (Co-Founder & CEO Klartext AI)**
Daniel reports on his team's journey: from quickly discarding the original product idea to switching to a service model and growing to nine employees within a very short time.
Lessons learned from eight years of Fraunhofer research and the hard school of bootstrapping. He explains why “human in the loop” is not just a buzzword for them, but the foundation for quality, and how extremely fast iterations (POCs) build trust with customers.
Key takeaways from the talk:
• The pivot: Why it's okay to throw your idea overboard after four weeks.
• Service vs. product: How services serve as a driver for growth and market understanding.
• Speed wins: Delivering results faster than the competition with “evaluation-driven design.”
• Growth hacks: Networking and acquisition strategies that have increased revenue fivefold.
🤝 **Exchange:** Connect with like-minded people in a relaxed atmosphere, exchange ideas, and learn from the experiences of others.
🍹 **Chilled Atmosphere:** We want you to feel comfortable and enjoy yourself. If this leads to a new business connection or collaboration – even better!
🚀 **Our Goal:** Not only do we aim to help you meet new people and build meaningful connections, but we also want to provide you with practical tools to simplify your entrepreneurial journey and optimize your business.
We’re excited to welcome you to our next event in Vienna. Let’s learn, grow, and shape the journey of self-employment together.

Execution with Style — Vienna Co-Working Lab
Welcome to **Execution with Style**, a weekly co-working lab for freelancers, creators, founders, and builders who want structure, accountability, and real momentum. We combine **deep focus + small-group pressure + a playful self-expression twist**. When we wear something unusual, we step outside our normal identity.
That’s when creativity becomes easier.

Join our [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6LidaoQhe16wZ0Se9pNM6), Keep contact via [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/nocrastinationclub/)
**Execution with Style** 👗🧥✨
Each session, you’re invited to wear **clothes that you don’t normally wear**.
Something expressive.
Something bold.
Something unusual.
**Examples:**
* the jacket that never leaves your closet
* something colorful or dramatic
* something funny / absurd
* something you “could never pull off”… until today
No pressure — but if you join in, be ready to share the story behind it.
**Self-expression + execution = momentum.**
**Location**
* Our weekly co-working sessions take place at creative, cozy hotel lobby **Jaz in the City in central Vienna**.
* Regular participants may also be privately invited to occasional **Skyscraper Secret Sessions** — spontaneous small-group co-working gatherings at a private skyline location with **free tea & coffee**, plus **gym and shower access**.
* These special sessions are **invitation-only** and shared privately with regular members of the community.
🕐 **Time**: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM Every Tuesday
📍 **Location**: Jaz in the City – Ground Floor Lounge: Windmühlgasse 28, 1060 Vienna, Austria

* **Social start**: from **1:00 to 1:28 PM**, we mingle and get to know each other; our first focus session begins at **1:30 PM**
* **Gentle structure**: we begin with a soft check-in and intention round
* **Pomodoro-style rhythm**: We work in 45-minute focus blocks followed by 15-minute social breaks. If 45 minutes feels too long, feel free to break it into two 20-minute focus sessions with a short 5-minute reset in between. You’ll need to self-regulate these shorter cycles, just tune into your own flow and rejoin when ready.
* **Quiet companionship**: no pressure to talk during focus time — just shared presence and support
* **Welcoming space**: we meet in the creative, cozy lobby of the **Jaz in the City**

* like focused work blocks with a supportive vibe
* are building something (job search, freelancing, creative work, admin, studying, side project, etc.)
💬 Why Join?
* Beat procrastination with gentle accountability
* Reclaim your momentum without doing it alone
* Enjoy a change of scenery that boosts your focus
**Group Size:**
This is designed as a **small execution lab** (limited spots) to keep the energy focused and the accountability real.
Bring your project. Bring your presence. Let’s work side-by-side. 💚

Build in Public, Connect in Person (March Meetup)
Hi all, It's time for another freelancer's meetup!
Freelancing in Vienna is the (semi) regular meetup for independent professionals in the city. Two talks, free pizza and drinks, and time to connect with people who work the same way you do.
Agenda
* 18:30 Doors open
* 19:00 Welcome
* 19:10 **Build in Public: A Freelancer's Playbook for Launching an AI Product in 4 Weeks** by Clemens Helm
* 19:40 Pizza & drinks
* 20:10 **Consistency and Discipline in Freelancing: Turning Revenue Goals into Daily Targets** by Alexander Schörghuber
* 20:40 Networking
* \~21:30 Wrap up
**Talks**
**Build in Public: A Freelancer's Playbook for Launching an AI Product in 4 Weeks** by **[Clemens Helm](https://www.linkedin.com/in/clemenshelm/)**
Most freelancers sell hours. I wanted to build something of my own. So I started building Pinchy (heypinchy.com) — a self-hosted AI agent platform — completely in public. Daily LinkedIn posts, a dev blog, open source on GitHub, guerilla marketing. The full stack, not just code.
The surprising part: the product isn't even the point. The process is the portfolio.
In this talk I'll share:
* Why "Build in Public" is a powerful strategy for freelancers who want to shift into a new field (in my case: AI)
* How AI tools helped me ship fast — the product, the website, the branding, the docs, even the logo were all built with AI assistance
* What actually worked for visibility (and what flopped) — with real numbers from LinkedIn, GitHub, and website analytics
* How documenting your work publicly builds more credibility than any CV or portfolio page ever could
Whether you're thinking about launching your own product, pivoting into AI, or just want to stand out as a freelancer — this is 20 years of freelancing distilled into 4 weeks of building out loud.
**Consistency and Discipline in Freelancing: Turning Revenue Goals into Daily Targets** by **[Alexander Schörghuber](https://alex-schoerg.at/)**
Freelancing promises freedom: no boss, no fixed hours, no one telling you when to work. But that freedom comes with a hidden challenge: there is no built-in structure that ensures you're actually working enough to reach your financial goals.
Most freelancers track time. But many don't actually know what they should be aiming for, or whether they're on track to reach their revenue goals.
In this talk I'll share how thinking in daily billable targets instead of vague productivity can bring structure and predictability back into freelancing. Topics include:
* Why freelancing often oscillates between overworking and falling behind financially
* How translating revenue goals into daily billable targets changes decision making
* A practical system (controli.at) that connects time tracking with revenue goals
This talk is for freelancers who want to keep the freedom of freelancing, while adding the discipline and predictability of a structured work life.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**Want to give a talk at the next meetup?**
We're looking for speakers. 20–30 minutes on anything relevant to working independently. Send a message to me (Aaron) here on meetup.
\-\-\-
We're sponsored for the space and snacks again by https://www.lean-coders.at/, a wonderful freelancer focused "agency" in Vienna.
They are currently offering coworking desks for interested freelancers. Their team of professional devs and PMs would also love to hear about your next software project.
If you know of anyone looking for a great software team, they even have an affiliate program for referrals https://lean-coders.at/affiliate/
See you soon!!

**ABSTRACT**
*Mastering Power BI Model Types - Import, DirectQuery, or Composite?* - **Gregor Prohaska**
Whenever you start a new Power BI project, you must choose the right model type — a decision that shapes all the work that follows.
This session explores the world of Power BI model types, focusing on the differences between Import, DirectQuery, and Composite models. We examine the limitations, advantages, and requirements of each model to provide a clear decision guideline for when to use each one.
This session aims Power BI developers, data analysts, BI architects, and anyone interested in maximizing the efficiency and flexibility of their Power BI solutions.
By the end of this session, atttendees will
* know the main differences between Import, DirectQuery and Composit models
* be able to choose (wisely) the right model for a given task
* understand the impact on report design, user experience and governance
If you want to avoid classic model type mishaps, this session is for you. Make your users (and database admins) happy and choose wisely!

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
