Meilen Monday Reset: Sound & Breath
**Welcome to your Monday night sanctuary.**
Do you feel the need to quiet the mind, release the stress of the day, and start your week with fresh energy? In our fast-paced world, finding a space for true stillness is essential. **I** invite you to a weekly "Journey Within" (Die Reise nach Innen) in the heart of Meilen.
### **What to Expect**
The sessions are a unique blend of three powerful modalities designed to regulate your nervous system and restore balance:

* **Sound Healing (Klangheilung):** Immerse yourself in the healing frequencies of high-quality Crystal and Tibetan singing bowls. These vibrations work at a cellular level to guide your brain into Alpha and Theta states for profound peace.
* **Guided Meditation:** A "red thread" that leads you back to your center, giving your journey a clear direction and purpose.
### **Why Monday Nights?**
Mondays set the frequency for your entire week. By joining us at **Anjaly Yoga**, you choose to prioritize your well-being from the very start, ensuring you move through the following days with clarity and resonance.

Runic Readings
Sessions of **individual runic readings** are available for beginners all along summer, both online (75 CHF) and offline in Zurich (100 CHF).
These sessions are **NOT** esoteric or divinatory. We're approaching runes as **a symbolic system of archetypes** to examine any situation or question that is currently relevant to you.
*If you feel stuck in a situation and cannot see a way forward, are facing a difficult decision, navigating a period of uncertainty, or trying to understand a recurring pattern in your life, a runic reading may offer a different perspective.*
**You will receive:**
• a clearer and systemic understanding of what is actually happening;
• insight into hidden influences affecting the situation;
• a better understanding of why certain difficulties keep repeating;
• greater clarity around available options and their likely consequences;
• practical ideas for what to do next.

Zürich AI Meetup | Summer of Context
**Speakers:**
Paulo Martins (GitLab) – **We Tried to Detect Indirect Prompt Injection in Coding Agents. Here’s What Broke**
Gianlorenzo Occhipinti (Exa) – **Beyond the Knowledge Cutoff: Agentic Search in Practice**
Marius Colacioiu (Norm) - **Your Repo Is the Memory: Durable Context for AI Coding Agents**
**Agenda:**
17:30-17:40 – Welcome & intro
17:40 – 18:10: Paulo Martins
18:15 – 18:45: Gianlorenzo Occhipinti
18:45 – 19:15: Marius Colacioiu
**Abstract**:
**We Tried to Detect Indirect Prompt Injection in Coding Agents. Here’s What Broke**
As a community, we are delegating a significant part of our development workflow to agents, and as the use cases grow, the risk of prompt injection keeps increasing - to the point that it made it to the top of the OWASP LLM Top 10. In this talk, I’ll explore the concept of “detect and prevent prompt injection” and why it is particularly hard to do for coding agents.
\-\-\-
**Beyond the Knowledge Cutoff: Agentic Search in Practice**
An LLM is a lossy compression of the internet: the long tail gets blurred, concepts interfere, and anything after the training cutoff simply doesn't exist. The fix isn't a bigger model, it's giving agents the ability to search. This talk walks through the shift from classic retrieve-then-read RAG to agentic search, where the search engine becomes part of the agent's environment and the model learns what, when, and how to query: decomposing questions, parallelizing searches, and chaining multi-hop lookups
\-\-\-
**Your Repo Is the Memory: Durable Context for AI Coding Agents**
AI coding agents are becoming useful fast, but they still do not know the local truth of your codebase. This talk shows how to make repo-local context durable so agents produce work that fits the project and humans can still understand, review, and maintain what gets merged.

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on.
That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable.
In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork.
This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it.
We’ll cover:
* Why “it looks good” is not enough
* How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints
* How to compare LLM outputs more systematically
* Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness
* How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results
* Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop
By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve.
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.
