The TLV PUG is back! Join us for an afternoon of talks, food, drinks, and good company at Microsoft Reactor Tel Aviv on Level 50 with those incredible skyline views. This time we've got three great talks lined up. Oh, and there will be swag. You're welcome. **Talks:** **From Zero to AI Agent: Building with Microsoft Foundry Agent Service** *[Engin Diri](https://www.linkedin.com/in/engin-diri/) \- Senior Solutions Architect\, Pulumi* AI Agents are everywhere right now, but how do you actually build and deploy one without losing your mind? In this talk, Engin will walk through how to use Microsoft Foundry Agent Service together with the Microsoft Agent Framework and Pulumi to spin up, configure, and manage AI agents, all as code. We'll go from an empty project to a working agent, covering the gotchas and the good parts along the way. **OpenClaw Bots Done Right: No Security Nightmares Included** [Dor Serero](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dorser/) \- Principal Architect\, Microsoft So you want to run an OpenClaw bot, or any agent for that matter. Cool. But have you thought about what happens when things go sideways security-wise? In this session, Dor will share real-world lessons on running OpenClaw bots without the kind of setup that keeps you up at 3 AM wondering if something just went horribly wrong. We'll cover common pitfalls, hardening tips, and practical patterns to keep your bot humming without opening the door to trouble. **OpenClaw Running My Life 🦞 (and I'm not sure If I can take them back)** *[Roey Zalta](https://linkedin.com/in/roey-zalta) \- Data & AI Solutions Engineer\, Microsoft* What happens when you stop treating OpenClaw as a demo and start letting it run real parts of your life? In this session, Roey will walk through his personal setup, showing how he balances security, privacy, and convenience while giving agents real autonomy. From always-on monitoring to reactive automations, you'll see what it actually takes to operationalize OpenClaw beyond toy examples. We'll cover the trade-offs, the unexpected behaviors, and the lessons learned when your agent becomes a system you rely on daily. Sometimes helpful, sometimes slightly too enthusiastic. **Schedule:** * 5:00 PM — Doors open, food, drinks & networking * 5:30 PM — From Zero to AI Agent: Building with Microsoft Foundry Agent Service (Engin Diri) * 5:55 PM — OpenClaw Bots Done Right: No Security Nightmares Included (Dor Serero) * 6:20 PM — OpenClaw Running My Life 🦞 (Roey Zalta) * 6:45 PM — Networking, food & drinks * 7:30 PM — See you at the next one! **Where:** Microsoft Reactor Tel Aviv Menakhem Begin Rd 144, Level 50 Tel Aviv-Yafo After the official wrap-up, we'll continue any interesting discussions at a nearby bar for those who want to keep the conversation going. Spots are limited, so grab yours early. See you there!

What to Expect: * An introduction to version control and why it's essential for Unity projects * An overview of Git, Perforce, and Unity Version Control * Demos of each tool in a Unity workflow * Tips for getting started * No prior version control experience required * Resources for continued learning All experience levels are welcome. Whether you're new to version control or already using one of these tools, this session will help you understand what each one offers. Food and drinks provided.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
