ACT Berlin #18: Women in AI Edition

A working day for women building with AI in Berlin.

This episode is a special one. For one Tuesday, the room is for women only: founders, engineers, researchers and operators who ship AI products. Same format, same focus, different room.

Bring your laptop (+ monitor cable). Ship something. Talk to people who get it.

// THE RULES

We keep it high-signal. No sales pitches. This is a space for people who actually build and deploy.

// THE FORMAT

  • Deep Work: Focus on your own projects in a curated environment.

  • Expert Deep-Dive: One technical session to level up your stack.

  • Curated Networking: Connect with other women building in AI over lunch.

The day

  • 09:30: Doors open, coworking starts

  • 12:30: Lunch break together

  • 13:15: Talk by Hira Siddiqui (Plurality Network)

  • 18:00: Wrap

// THE SESSION: You don't own your AI memory (yet)

Every AI tool you use builds its own picture of you. ChatGPT has one version, Claude has another, and Gemini has a third. None of them talk to each other, and none of them belong to you.

Hira Siddiqui is an IT architect who has worked across decentralized identity, web3 and AI for over a decade. She is co-founder of Plurality Network, where she builds portable, user-owned memory for AI. In this session she'll cover:

  • Where your context actually lives today, and who controls it

  • What portable, user-owned AI memory looks like in practice

  • How to design AI products that don't lock users' data in

// WHO IT'S FOR

Women who are founders, engineers, researchers, or product and ops people shipping AI, especially where data exposure is a real cost. It's also for anyone who has hesitated before pasting sensitive context into a chat window.

Hosted at Circuit, 3rd Floor.
