Automating Web Application Testing

**Meet-up #4 is hands-on.** Instead of watching a demo from the outside, we're going to build something together. We'll be working with Claude Skills, a feature inside Claude that lets you teach Claude how to do things your way, once, and have it remember. Think of it as automating a small part of how you work, without any coding. I'll show you an example of a skill I built. Then we build one together, from scratch, in the room. The learning curve is genuinely small. And if you've never touched this before, that's exactly the point, this meet-up is for you. If you already use Claude Skills regularly, come anyway. There's something different about working through it with other women who are figuring out the same things. What you need to bring: your laptop, and a Claude account (free works perfectly). Then we'll open it up, as always. What are you automating? What's not working? What do you wish Claude could just... know about you already? Friday\, June 12 \| 7:00 PM House of Startups\, Luxembourg

In a world that constantly pulls our attention outward, this gathering is an invitation to come back to yourself. No complicated techniques. No pressure to perform. No expectation to share.

Together, we will spend about an hour exploring a few basic mindfulness and nervous system regulation practices, including: • Gentle grounding and awareness exercises • Conscious breathing and slower exhalation • Walking meditation in the park • Simple body awareness and presence practices • Space to slow down and reconnect with yourself Depending on the weather, the session may include a combination of sitting meditation and walking meditation, or mostly walking meditation. The intention is not to achieve anything. It is simply an opportunity to pause, breathe, and experience being fully present in your own body. Schedule 10:45 – Meet at Glacis Square (between the Théâtre tram stop and the public toilets) 11:00 – Mindfulness practice in the park Approximately 12:00 – Optional coffee, brunch, or relaxed conversation for anyone who would like to stay The practice itself will last around one hour. The social time afterwards is completely optional. Practical Information • Please wear comfortable clothes suitable for the weather • The event will take place even if the weather is not perfect • I will bring something to sit on, but feel free to bring your own cushion, mat, or blanket if you prefer This gathering is part of Feel & Grow Club Luxembourg and is open to anyone curious about slowing down, grounding themselves, and practicing presence in a simple and accessible way. Nothing special to achieve. Nothing to fix. Just a chance to be here, together.

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

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
