Shipping Code with AI Agents: What People Are Actually Using

ETH AI Center, Zürich, Switzerland
In person

Coding agents have moved fast, and most of us are figuring them out as we go. Some things work well. Some quietly create problems that only show up weeks later. A few short talks, then open discussion. The focus is practical: how to ship agentic code efficiently, what the pipelines around it look like, which tools hold up under real use, and what we can learn from each other. Speakers: - Boris Paskalev CEO, and Mark Müller, CTO, LogicStar AI - Marc Willhaus, Head of Software, optohive AG - We still have a speaker slot available if you'd like to share slides or a live walkthrough of your setup - 20 minutes or less. Everyone in the room is building something. Founders, technical co-founders, engineers and researchers whose hands are on the code. Places are limited, so we confirm registrations individually. If you have something you would be up for sharing, even informally, let us know in the form. It does not need to be polished. War stories are as useful as success stories.

🏃‍➡️ The Builders Run #5

Zürich, Switzerland, Zürich, Switzerland
In person

The monthly morning run for Zurich-based builders, founders, and operators. Hosted by Daniel, ironman and founder of athletedata, the Builders Run series is about combining a solid workout with meaningful conversations: keeping the pace sporty, but relaxed enough to actually talk, connect, and exchange ideas. The route: We start quick warm-up to start (last chance for latecomers), then out towards Saffa Insel for a 8k at conversational pace: ~5:30–6:00 min/km, and we may split the group. Coffee after at newly opened Yappa Cafe for anyone with time, which is usually where the real catching-up happens, then back to building. Meeting point: Central.
