Topic 1: Agentic AI in Healthcare: The RAG-Powered Diagnostic Assistant
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Parametric LLM memory cannot support clinical deployment: no provenance, no patient-specific grounding at inference time, and unacceptable hallucination rates. Retrieval-Augmented Generation solves this by grounding an agentic system's reasoning loop in dynamically retrieved, evidence-backed context instead of static model weights.

The architecture: Chunking and embedding heterogeneous clinical data (imaging reports, discharge summaries, structured EHR fields), dense vector indexing with approximate nearest-neighbour retrieval, and context injection into the perceive-reason-act-learn cycle.

Key trade-offs: Retrieval latency versus context window budget, chunk size versus semantic coherence, embedding model selection for domain terminology, and multi-agent coordination for ranking and routing evidence across specialist sub-agents.

Results: 94.1% diagnostic accuracy in liver cancer detection; door-to-balloon time reduced from 211 to 68 minutes in a real cardiac workflow via concurrent retrieval across imaging, history, and evidence.

Open problems: Explainability at the retrieval-to-reasoning boundary, bias propagation through retrieved context, and the validation gap between proof-of-concept and clinical-grade reliability.

HackAotearoa [AKL]: Co-working for startup builders

Auckland, New Zealand, Auckland, New Zealand
In person

Building solo, together. A free fortnightly co-working day for startup founders, indie hackers, designers and makers building their own thing. On any given Friday there's someone launching a website, someone wiring up an AI agent, someone chasing first customers, someone rewriting a pitch. Different projects, same fight. What people come for: Momentum. A full day carved out to ship, next to people doing the same Accountability. Say what you're building at 9:30, show where it got to by 3:30 Feedback. Demo to people who get it - progress, not polish Getting unstuck. Someone in the room has hit your problem before: pricing, landing pages, that 2pm bug Community. Building your own thing is lonely. This is the fix. Not a hackathon: no shared challenge, no teams, no prize, nothing to prepare. Bring whatever you're already building - or just an idea and a laptop. The day: 9:00 - doors open, coffee, grab a desk 9:30 - rolling intro circle: who you are, what you're building, what you want to get done today 3:00 - demos: 5 minutes each, progress not polish 4:00 - wrap up, or keep working if you're in the zone Free, BYO laptop. We take photos for socials - tell the host if you'd rather not be in them. Coworking space hosted by Kaiba on K Road. The exact address is sent to registered guests.
