Build & Learn: From Data Science to AI Engineering Week 2

EventIn person
10:00Europe / Berlin
Octupus Bar, Berlin, Germany
✨Build & Learn: AI with Coffee☕ ✨

📅 Week 2: The LLM Application Layer This event is part of our seven-week AI Engineering program, where we build an end-to-end AI application step by step and present our finished projects during Demo Day in Week 7. This week, we’ll work through the key layers of a modern AI application: Go through the entire OpenAI API documentation and Python SDK (authentication, requests, structured outputs, tool calling). Learn prompt engineering fundamentals and the core building blocks of LLM systems. Understand that effective AI systems use as little AI as possible. Deterministic logic first, LLMs where they earn their place. Build agents from scratch before reaching for frameworks, and learn the 5 levels of AI agents. Learn context engineering to understand why agents fail and how to feed them the right information. By the end of the 7 week cycle, you should have a working AI application in your own GitHub repository and practical experience with AI pipelines, APIs, databases, retrieval, evaluation and deployment. You are welcome to follow the shared project or apply the weekly concepts to your own project. ✨ Who is this for? This cycle is designed for data scientists, analysts, software developers and Python users interested in moving toward AI engineering. No previous LLM or AI engineering experience is required. However, you should already understand basic Python or be willing to complete some preparation independently. ✨ Who’s hosting? I’m Lindsey, a senior data scientist working on AI systems, causal inference and data products. I’ve worked on machine learning, uplift modelling, fraud detection and production LLM systems. I care about learning through building—and moving beyond AI hype toward applications that actually work. 💻 Bring: Your laptop, your project and your curiosity. ☕ Please grab a coffee or drink from the Octopus Bar to support the business and thank them for providing the space.

What If Websites No Longer Have Pages? | MeetUp @HelloDigital

MeetupAI & Machine LearningIn personFree
18:00Europe / Berlin
Berlin, Germany, Berlin, Germany
Luma Berlin

For Designers, UX/CX Strategists, Product Leaders, and Business Decision-Makers. What if the website you've spent years perfecting quietly stops being where your customers meet your brand? You optimized the navigation. Refined the design system. Obsessed over every step of the customer journey. But AI is changing where people actually go looking for answers. Instead of visiting your site, they ask an AI assistant, and your website becomes a source it pulls from, not a destination people arrive at. At our next HelloDigital MeetUp, Nikolaus Stemmer (a Berlin-based UX/CX Director, researcher, and speaker with more than 25 years designing digital products) takes on the question most brands and design teams are avoiding: what happens to digital brand experience once AI becomes the gateway, not the website? He'll walk through machine-readable brands, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and what he calls the Intent Era, a future where AI increasingly decides what your customers see of you. No predictions dressed up as hype. A sharp, evidence-grounded look at what's shifting, and what you can start doing about it now. What we'll explore Why the website's role is changing in an AI-first world How AI is reshaping the way people discover brands What machine-readable brands and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) mean in practice, not just in theory Whether design systems and interfaces still matter once AI generates the experience How the job of designers and digital teams is shifting under all of this Who should attend? This is for designers and UX/CX strategists who build digital brand experiences, and for product leaders and business decision-makers who fund and own the strategy behind them. You'll leave with a sharper read on where digital experience is headed and what to question in your own work. To keep the room sharp and the conversation real, seats are limited to 60 guests.
