Workflow

**Workflow automation with AI in the construction industry** ***What if every incoming request in a construction company could automatically turn into the right work order... without emails, copy-paste or spreadsheets in between?*** During this **[Ixor](www.ixor.be)** TechTalk we’ll explore how AI and multi-agent systems can streamline day-to-day workflows in the construction industry. We use a case study from **[Benogroup](https://www.benogroup.be/)** as the starting point and show how we moved from a manual flow to an AI-supported one, with support from Innoviris. We’re combining a concrete business case with a look under the hood of the tech: **Use case: workflow automation at Benogroup (with support from Innoviris)** * **[Ivan De Broyer](https://be.linkedin.com/in/ivan-de-broyer/nl)** (CEO Benogroup) walks you through a very familiar scenario: an offer comes in, internal teams need a work order, and today much of that work still happens manually. * He’ll share how they translated this pain point into an AI project, what the new AI-driven workflow looks like, and what changed for the teams in practice (increase speed, reduce errors, enable coordination and compliance). **Architecture & learnings: multi-agent systems by Ixor** Ixor's AI Engineer, **[Sien Nuyens](https://be.linkedin.com/in/sien-nuyens-6475b0232/en)**, explains how we built the solution using the LangGraph ecosystem. * You’ll hear what we learned compared to earlier experiments, for example with LibreChat. * How we decided what to automate versus what to redesign in the process itself, and why the human side (ownership, trust, handovers) is just as important as the technical one. **This Tech Talk is ideal for:** * Operations and project managers in construction companies who want to reduce manual follow-up * Digital leads and innovation managers exploring where AI can safely support existing workflows * Founders and managers of SMEs who want a concrete view on 'AI for my business' * Anyone curious how agentic AI and multi-agent systems can be applied to real-life processes with clear before/after impact **Date** Tuesday 24/02/26 **Location** [Ixor, Schuttersvest 75, 2800 Mechelen](https://www.google.com/maps?sca_esv=3d16839f334d68f5&rlz=1C5CHFA_enBE1133BE1133&sxsrf=ANbL-n41HRp_bji2meG1ikVLAPIz93Cunw:1769513461367&kgmid=/g/1pxwt4kls&shem=bdsle,ptotple,shrtsdl&shndl=30&kgs=61800e9c5aeb0c1b&um=1&ie=UTF-8&fb=1&gl=be&sa=X&geocode=KcOEjoHS5cNHMa9y5riKRn8U&daddr=Schuttersvest+75,+2800+Mechelen) **Timing** *Doors* \- 18:00 *TechTalk* \- 18:30 until 19:30\, followed by networking & drinks *End -* 21:00

Welcome back to the Belgian Developer Experience Network! We have 2 technical talks lined up for our fifth Belgian Developer Experience Network meetup! Mark your calendars for the **24th of February**, because it is going to be an evening packed with insights into using AI securely and effectively. Make sure to be there for the deep dives, stay for the discussion and networking. **Schedule:** \- 18:00 \- 18:20 \- Doors open \- 18:20 \- 18:30 \- Intro \- 18:30 \- 19:30 \- Session 1: MCP: Threats\, Tools\, and a Few \(Hacking\) Demos * **Speaker:** [Philippe Bogaerts](https://www.linkedin.com/in/philippebogaerts/) (Public Cloud System Engineer and Co-Founder of BruCON) * **Description:** Philippe contributes mostly by writing blog posts [xxradar](https://xxradar.medium.com/), talking at meetups as well as co-organizing a renowned security conference [BruCON](https://brucon.org/). During daytime, Philippe is a solution architect at [Fortinet](https://www.fortinet.com/). **Description:** Join us for a technical deep-dive meetup on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the emerging open standard that allows LLMs to securely interact with external tools, data, and services. We’ll start by demystifying what MCP really is and how the client–server flow works, then dive straight into hands-on tooling and attack-surface experiments. You’ll leave you with both defensive and offensive insights into this rapidly evolving ecosystem. What to expect: * MCP Debunked: concise breakdown of the protocol, client ⇄ server lifecycle, transport modes and capability registration. * Debugging with MCP Inspector: live exploration for testing, tracing and verifying MCP interactions. * Intent Analysis: using AI to analyze tool descriptions and detect unsafe capabilities before agents can use them. * The Capability-Delta Hack Explained: security-focused demo showing how a model can escalate or extend capabilities. Format: 45–60 minutes of technical discussion and attack-surface experiments. All demos and experiments will be documented on GitHub. \- 19:30 \- 19:45 \- Break \- 19:45 \- 20:30 \- Session 2: The Golden Path: Where Governance Meets Software Craftsmanship * **Speaker:** [Jonathan Lamy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanlamy/) (Solution & Enterprise Architect at Devoteam) * **Description:** Jonathan is a Solution and Enterprise Architect \| Modernization Specialist who never forgot his roots in software craftsmanship\. He now designs enterprise strategies that act as enablers, not roadblocks. His mission is to replace chaos with confidence, allowing organizations and teams to move at true velocity. **Description:** In the rush to modernize, we often mistake Speed (shipping code fast) for Velocity (shipping value reliably). We have mastered Agile and DevOps, yet many teams are still terrified to deploy on a Friday. Jonathan argues that the solution lies not in more rules, but in engineering confidence. In this session, we will explore The Golden Path—not as a rigid constraint, but as the blueprint for a frictionless route to production. We will discuss how to treat the platform as a product, embedding Well-Crafted Software directly into the infrastructure. By automating the heavy lifting of compliance and security, we stop drowning developers in configuration and empower them to steadily add value. This isn't just about preventing chaos; it's about restoring the confidence to ship. Format: \~40–50 minutes including demos and Q&A. Example code and links will be shared. \- 20:30 \- 00:00 \- Network Event & Food After (or during, we still have to decide) the talks you will be able to share your valuable insights and ideas with everyone, while sharing some food and drinks. **Additional note: This meetup includes food. Please keep your RSVP status up to date so we do not waste any of our food. In case you're doubting the feasibility to join in person, please update your RSVP accordingly.**

In this talk, we explore why UX is the space where brand promises are either proven or broken, and why, in the age of AI, alignment between brand and user experience has become a strategic imperative. Drawing on real-world examples, this talk reframes UX designers as brand storytellers, and UX deciders and stakeholders as guardians of trust. It also introduces an **AI-driven Brand Sentiment Analysis workflow**, showing how teams can translate user signals into actionable insights, and design experiences that don’t just function, but reinforce how a brand is felt, remembered, and believed. **Talk 2: The UX evolution: thriving in the age of intelligent systems** [David Grunewald](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidgrunewald/), Founder of Pluginto.ai , AI-Strategist AI is fundamentally changing how UX professionals work, but it's amplifying our capabilities, not replacing them. This 45-minute session explores what's actually happening in 2026. You'll see real implementations from banking, healthcare, and other sectors: proactive systems that anticipate needs, conversational interfaces that adapt to individual patterns, and hyper-personalisation at scale. We'll examine **four trends reshaping UX practice and, more importantly, what they mean for your daily work**. What's being automated? What's gaining value? And what are the five essential skills that set you apart in an AI-augmented world? You'll leave with clarity on how to evolve your practice and confidence that your human expertise remains your competitive advantage. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \#\#\# SCHEDULE 18:00 - Doors open.

Please carefully read the instructions before coming to the class: \- This is not a standard yoga studio\, but a private venue \- Changing corner is available \- Online Registration for each class is mandatory because of the limited participants per class \(max 15\) \- Prices: Trial = 10€\, Drop in = 18€\, 5 pass card = 70€\, 10\-pass card 130€\, all valid for 6 months \(I offer other classes too\) \- Cancellation of your reservation can be done up to 3h prior to the start of the class \- Yoga Mats\, bolsters\, blocks\, straps\, blankets\, eye pillows and myofascial balls are on the spot \- Herbal tea available in a welcoming environment I’m so excited to practice with you, X

We do cycles of 4-6 weeks, with a progressive load, and a recovery week at the end of the cycle. Session: * 10 - 20’ warm up (easy run and drills) * Core session (ie. 6x5' - 2' recovery) * Cool down We run together during Warm-up, and cool down and tey to regroup during recovery time. Paces are not imposed (everyone runs at his/her own pace) given the intensity suggested. Notes: It's NOT required to have an activity tracker or smart watch to be able to follow the session, as I'll be giving signals with a whistle. Intervals training is not advised for total beginners. To have an idea, the average pace at the warm up is around 5'45"/km-6'15"/km so this pace should feel very comfortable ***Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability.*** By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organizers from any responsibility and liability in all claims.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
