AI Agents in Action: From Azure AI Foundry to Kiwi Innovation

Join us for the next Wellington .NET User Group Meetup — this time co-hosted with the AI Engineer NZ User Group!

​We’ve got two powerful sessions lined up that cover both cutting-edge tools and real-world experience:
​🎯 Session 1 – Building AI Agents with Azure AI Foundry
👨‍💻 Speaker: Xiaodi Yan – Microsoft MVP
​Discover how Microsoft’s Azure AI Foundry makes building production-grade AI agents easier than ever. Xiaodi will walk us through how to define and deploy agents using the portal and SDK, and demo a multi-agent app in action.

​🚀 Session 2 – From Idea to Launch: Building Autohive, an AI-First Platform
🎤 Speaker: John-Daniel Trask – Co-founder of Raygun & CEO of Autohive
​John shares the behind-the-scenes journey of building Autohive — a new AI platform born out of lessons learned while adopting AI across teams. Learn what worked, what didn’t, and how they turned those insights into a brand new venture.
​As always, there’ll be food, drinks, and great conversation.
​Special thanks to Hnry for the venue and to Chubb & H2R for sponsoring the refreshments.
​Whether you're building AI apps, exploring tooling, or just curious about what’s next, come connect with fellow engineers and builders in Wellington’s growing AI tech scene.

Please note: This is an in-person event only. There will be no online session. Thank you!
