An evening for people who build with agents every day: swap workflows, compare setups, and meet builders at your level. Presented by Nuri.

TL;DR

  • Advanced focused: This is not for beginners. We won't focus on covering basic concepts.

  • Discuss & exchange: Tools, workflows, and lessons learned from building with agents.

  • Structured Connections: We connect you with people relevant to you, based on what you tell us at registration.

Agenda

  • Intro Welcome and a quick overview of what we're doing tonight.

  • Nuri demo (5 min) Letting an agent pay: permissioned access to a real wallet. A demo, not a pitch.

  • Topics & Discussion Short slides, demos, and open discussion. The topics below are starting points — we pick together on the night where to go deep.- What changed since August — New models and tools since our last advanced evening. What did you switch to, and why?

  • Harnesses & Custom Tooling — Claude Code, Codex, Pi — or building your own harness and agent tooling.

  • Interfaces — CLIs, desktop apps, custom UIs — and agents in shared channels: is the channel the new interface?

  • Environments & Going Local — Local, managed cloud, VPS/intranet; self-hosting and running open-source models.

  • Workflows & Evals — How you structure agent workflows, when an agent vs. a plain API call, and how you know it's actually working.

  • Autonomy & Real Access — What you let run unattended, multi-agent setups, and how far you let agents touch accounts, money and production.

    • Your topics — Open for suggestions. Bring what you want to discuss.

  • Structured Connections We create a setting to connect you 1-on-1 with others who share your interests and topics.

  • Drinks & Connect Open conversation over food and drinks, thanks to Nuri. We close the space around 21:00 and continue at the nearby "Trödler" bar.

Instructions
