This hackathon is about building with agent harnesses, hands-on, alongside the people building the tools. We're teaming up with LangChain Ambassador Zamal Babar and Data Reply to host an evening of talks and hacking in Munich. You'll form small groups, build a deep agent from scratch, and demo it to a panel of judges by the end of the night. What you'll build The theme is agent harnesses — the scaffolding that turns a model into a system that can plan, use tools, and recover from its own mistakes. Steffen Hausmann will kick things off with two short talks: one on deep agents, and one on managed deep agents. Then you'll put it into practice. A few days before the event, we'll send out a prompt so you can come with an idea already in mind. Use the time before the hackathon to think through your approach — you'll want it once the clock starts. What to bring Your laptop and a group to hack with (we'll help you form one if you don't have one) Your own API keys for any models or tools you plan to use Questions for Steffen, Zamal, and the Data Reply team — they'll be around all night We'll provide LangSmith credits to every attendee for the event, so you can trace and debug your agent as you build. 🏆 Prizes 1st place: $3,000 in LangSmith credits 2nd place: $2,000 in LangSmith credits 3rd place: $1,000 in LangSmith credits 🧑‍⚖️Judges Steffen Hausmann, Deployed Engineer at LangChain Zamal Babar, LangChain Ambassador A member of the engineering team at Data Reply ⏰ Agenda 5:00 – 5:15 pm Doors open, food, and networking 5:15 – 5:30 pm Welcome and theme intro 5:30 – 5:40 pm Talk: Deep agents (Steffen Hausmann) 5:40 – 5:50 pm Talk: Managed deep agents (Steffen Hausmann) 5:50 – 8:30 pm Hacking (judges circulate and review in the final 30 minutes) 8:30 pm Demos, prizes, and closing 9:00 PM Event Ends Hosted by Data Reply in Munich.

KI-Systeme haben natürliche Sprache als Mensch-Maschine-Interface endgültig etabliert. Die Verwendung geschriebener und gesprochener Sprache hat diese Systeme für eine breite Masse nutzbar gemacht – auch für Menschen ohne spezifische Expertise. Prompten kann grundsätzlich jede Person, wenn auch mit unterschiedlicher Qualität. Sprache als Kommunikationsmittel ist uns angeboren; nun können IT-Systeme ohne Umwege damit bedient werden. Wir interagieren mit Chatbots und bevorzugen zunehmend ein LLM gegenüber einer klassischen Suchmaschine. Interaktionsanforderungen rücken damit in den Vordergrund und stehen als Querschnittsaspekt den feingranularen funktionalen Anforderungen gegenüber. Das stellt auch die Qualitätssicherung vor neue Herausforderungen. Was bedeutet Interaktionsqualität und wie lässt sie sich in klassische Softwarequalitätsmodelle einordnen? Wie kann Interaktionsqualität gemessen und bewertet werden – idealerweise automatisiert? Ist Sprache immer das geeignete Mittel oder gibt es alternative Interaktionsformen? Und wie ist mit multimodalen KI-Systemen umzugehen? Key Takeways: Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten von KI- und nicht KI-basierten Systemen in Bezug auf Qualität Interaktionsformen von KI-Systemen und deren Einfluss auf die Softwarequalität Aktueller Stand der Entwicklung beim Testen von KI-Systemen Speaker: Dehla Sokenou & Harald Störrle Und wie immer gilt: Gute Gespräche, neue Kontakte und ein entspannter Abend inklusive. Zeitplan \- 1750 Zoom wird geöffnet \- 1800 Start des Termins mit Ankommen \- 1805 Talk \- 1900 Offizielles Ende \(wer noch Fragen hat gerne länger\) Wer Interesse hat an der software@work Konferenz vor Ort im Hotel Hafen Hamburg am 06. November teilzunehmen findet hier weitere Informationen. Wer Ideen zu Themen für weitere Meetups hat, kann uns diese unter WPS software@work meetup zukommen lassen - Feedback erwünscht !

Founder Talk: Drei Gründer, drei Wege Du wolltest schon immer wissen, wie man sich selbstständig macht und wann der richtige Moment ist, ein startup zu gründen? Beim Founder Talk bringen LAUNCH Rhein-Main und der Founders Club Frankfurt drei Gründer zusammen, die darauf drei völlig unterschiedliche Antworten gefunden haben. Samuel Kutger (Founder emsbo, Forbes 30 under 30) zog mit 13 vor Gericht, um überhaupt gründen zu dürfen. David Döbele (Founder pumpkincareers) gründete direkt nach seinem Bachelor Studium um tausenden Studierenden beim Einstieg in ihren Traumberuf zu helfen. Dr. Tim Felten (Founder LIO Consulting) promovierte in theoretischer Plasmaphysik, beriet sechs Jahre bei Roland Berger und gründete erst danach. Direkt aus der Schule, direkt nach dem Bachelor, nach Promotion und Beratungskarriere: Den einen richtigen Zeitpunkt gibt es nicht. Aber es gibt drei ehrliche Geschichten darüber, wie es wirklich ist, anzufangen.

Twenty years ago, scientists believed that by knowing all about human genes, most diseases could be explained. We now know that human biology isn’t as simple as that. What if our DNA could tell us not only what we inherited — but what our bodies have experienced? The answer may lay in epigenetics – how your body turns on and off genes to deal with challenges. Factors such as aging, environment, diseases and lifestyle continuously alter our epigenetic settings, and by decoding these changing patterns, we get further in understanding the complexity of human biology. Join us for an evening exploring epigenetics and the future of proactive health. Prof. Maria Lerm, Professor at Linköping University and co-founder of PredictMe, will share how our environment, lifestyle and experiences can leave measurable marks on our biology, and why this matters for understanding and protecting our future health. We'll explore questions like: How much of our health is shaped by our environment? Can lifestyle change our biology? And could we detect harmful changes before disease becomes symptomatic? After the talk, stay for an open discussion and networking with people across medicine, science, longevity, biotech and proactive health. Also you will be offered the chance to early access PredictMe Delta at an exclusive discount. 🥗 Light food & non-alcoholic drinks will be served. 📍 Rotherbaum, Hamburg 🧬 Talk + Q&A + Networking 🎟️ Limited capacity — registration subject to approval 🇬🇧 Please note: This event will be held entirely in English 👩‍⚕️ Our Speaker: Prof. Maria Lerm Professor for Medical Microbiology Prof. Maria Lerm is a professor in Medical Microbiology at Linköping University and is leading projects within epigenetics and infectious diseases, focusing on tuberculosis and post-COVID. She is also co-founder of PredictMe. 🎤 Our Moderator: Thomas “Tom” Lerche Thomas “Tom” Lerche will guide us through the evening. As a Hamburg-based expert in events and communication and a passionat

In this session, you’ll learn how to build production-ready AI agents that can reason over your data, automate complex tasks, and integrate seamlessly into your existing stack using tools, skills, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Date, Time and Location Oct 29, 2026 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM PST Online. Register for the Zoom! We’ll walk through how modern agentic systems move beyond simple prompts—leveraging structured tools like dataset operations, embeddings, evaluation pipelines, and model execution to take real action. You’ll see how these agents can tag data, run inference, evaluate performance, and surface insights automatically, all within a unified workflow. By combining natural language interfaces with programmable building blocks, teams can dramatically reduce manual effort, accelerate experimentation, and unlock faster decision-making across the ML lifecycle. Whether you're building data-centric AI systems, managing large-scale vision datasets, or exploring agentic workflows for the first time, this session will give you a practical blueprint for getting started.

Join the Berlin community for an evening of building, bad puns and questionable costumes. Bring a project back from the grave, or build something brand-new and appropriately spooky: a haunted to-do list, a ghost-hunting app, a tool that finally scares you into doing your taxes. No coding experience needed. If you can describe it, you can build it with Lovable. 👻 Costumes are encouraged but not required What to expect 11:00 doors open 11:30 kick-off and team formation (or solo) 12:00 building starts 15:00 demos begin 16:30 Prizes and drinks 17:00 event ends 🍬 What you get Lovable credits for the day Snacks and drinks Support from host and other builders on your projects 🔦 Bring A laptop, a charger and your costume Solo or teams of up to 4

His technical depth is uniquely supported by a strong background in research, holding a Ph.D. in Physics. Luiz closely follows

AI systems can now read the literature, write and run analysis code, and propose experiments. Some research groups already run agents in a loop against their own open problems. Others see AI mostly as a source of confident mistakes, or as a threat to how science is done and who gets to do it. This is an evening conversation about one hard question: What would it take for AI to speed up the science that matters most, and what is left for us to do? (The first Claude Impact Lab in Berlin, October 2026) We will bring together working scientists from the life sciences, medicine, chemistry and materials, physics, mathematics, nanotechnology, and climate and earth sciences with the engineers who build AI agents. This is not a lecture and not a product demo. We will spend most of the evening in small groups around four questions: How will this change our field? Where is AI already useful in your research, where does it fail, and what worries you? What do we need to address this? Data, tools, skills, verification, trust: what is missing between a capable model and a result you would publish? What can we do now? Which open problems in your work are ready for an AI research loop today? Where do we begin? Together we pick the concrete problems we will build on. The evening ends with a shortlist of real open research problems. These become the brief for the follow-up Claude Impact Lab, a full-day build where scientists and AI engineers turn them into working, open-source research loops. The series is co-hosted by the Foresight Institute Berlin AI Node. It continues Foresight's Existential Hope work on how advanced technology can go well for people, starting from the problems scientists actually face. Who it's for: researchers from any field and at any career stage who want to shape how AI enters their field, and AI engineers who want their work to matter outside software. No technical background needed. Bring: a problem from your own research that you wish someone or something

Robots are leaving the factory floor. They're moving onto our desks, into our kitchens and around our homes. Foundation models, cheaper hardware and faster prototyping have made consumer robotics buildable for small teams. That's why we think the next wave of great hardware companies will start in places like Berlin. We're bringing together founders, researchers, operators and investors who are building or backing robotics for everyday life. Expect a short thesis talk, live demos from early-stage teams, and plenty of time to talk shop over drinks. Who should come Founders and operators in robotics and hardware Robotics and computer science researchers Angels and investors who back hardware and robotics Agenda 18:00 Doors open, drinks and food 18:30 Welcome & fire side chat on thesis 18:45 Showcase: a few early-stage teams demo what they're building From 19:30 Networking Want to demo?

Advancing AI Proficiency ClawCamp Berlin is a free, one-day builder camp for the agentic-AI community, run as a non-profit. Edition #2 is about one thing: advancing AI proficiency. Whether you're about to install your first agent or you already run agents in production, you leave able to do something you couldn't do that morning. Bring whatever you build with: OpenClaw, LangGraph, the Claude Agent SDK, CrewAI, n8n, or something you wrote yourself. The question isn't which stack. It's whether the thing runs. How the day works We set the programme live at the opening at 14:00. Sessions, rooms and workshop times are decided with the room, so please be there on time. Doors open at 13:30. Opening: the theme, the plan for the day, and the unconference board. Pitch a session or pick one Afternoon, two tracks in parallel. On-ramp: get your first agent running. Mentors walk you through installing and configuring an agent with an AI assistant, then using it. Bring a laptop; no experience needed Unconference: sessions proposed by the room and run by the room, for builders who want to go deeper Showcase: the launch of the Agentic Hackathon on 27 November (challenges presented, teams formed), a short builder panel, and live five-minute demos from the community Networking to close, until 20:00 Everyone on stage is in the room, no remote talks. Snacks when you arrive, drinks through the day. Who's in the room Edition #1 in July: 320+ registered, 100+ in the room, from 240+ employers. Around 4 in 10 registrants who gave a role were founders, C-level or team leads; about 1 in 4 were engineers, data or AI practitioners; the rest researchers, students, product, business and independent builders Every level: 4 in 10 of those who answered were new to agents or just getting started, 6 in 10 already building at an intermediate or advanced level That mix is why edition #2 runs two tracks. Show what you built Five minutes, on stage, in person, something that runs. Tick the demo box when

For Product Leaders and Decision-Makers who use AI every day and are tired of what comes back. Let the AI do the research, you do the thinking. Type a prompt, get a draft and publish. Everyone does it, everyone gets the same result. We see it in product teams every week: strategy papers, concepts and feature specs that read well and that nobody in the room can defend. Ask one hard question and the thinking behind them turns out to be three sentences someone typed into a prompt box. Research on generative AI confirms it: the more people use the same tools the same way, the more their output converges and the less they think while it happens. For a decision-maker, that is not a productivity gain. That is a room full of people agreeing with the same machine. On November 5th, Jens Ravens (CTO at nerdgeschoss and long-time conference speaker) shows how to reverse this. His method is the Expert Interview: the AI does the research first, then it interviews you. One pointed question at a time, each with a deliberate provocation, until your half-formed thoughts turn into a position you can defend. The effort flips, the AI works on asking good questions and you deliver the substance. Jens uses it at nerdgeschoss for real work: positioning, website concepts, turning vague customer requests into something a team can build. In his words: "Your AI doesn't need better prompts. It needs to make you think." He will walk you through the method and show a few short demos, so you leave with something you can run the next morning, with the tools you already have. What you'll take home A clear picture of what "same prompt, same result" costs your team and where it already shows The three steps of the Expert Interview and why the order matters How to use provocation to get real expertise out of your team (and yourself), not the polished version Why speaking beats typing when the goal is thinking, not polishing Where the method pays off beyond writing: strategy, positioning, product decisi

A meetup series for platform engineers, DevOps practitioners and the cloud native community, focused on what happens when coding agents move from individual laptops into shared infrastructure. The second edition tackles a problem every platform team is about to own. Skills, MCP servers and CLAUDE.md files multiply faster than anyone can review them. Shared naively, they turn into an ungoverned pile. Two speakers present two production-tested answers: composable specialist agents governed centrally, and layered, team-owned context treated as code inside a large monorepo. Stop Sharing Skills: Composable Agents for Your Team Dominik Schmidle · Product Lead for Platforms, Giant Swarm Most of us have a growing pile of skills, MCP servers and CLAUDE.md files on our laptops. Sharing them just creates an even bigger pile in the team account. In my experience, the thing worth sharing is not a prompt or a skill, but a specialist agent, composed from building blocks that are easy to provide and govern centrally. In this talk I’ll show what a platform for managing those building blocks and a whole fleet of agents can look like. Dominik Schmidle is Product Lead for Platforms at Giant Swarm, where he builds the Agent Platform that lets organisations adopt AI agents in an easy and governable way. Designing an Onion: Domain-Scoped AI Context at Monorepo Scale Na’aman Hirschfeld · Principal Systems Engineer, ServiceNow (Armis) Coding agents are only as good as the context they are given. In a large monorepo, dozens of teams write that context: hundreds of skills, rules and instructions that grow faster than anyone reviews them. How do you keep it correct? We started with plugin marketplaces, one per team, and quickly hit the limits of the harness. Engineers ended up running different subsets, and no two agents worked from the same rules. So we rebuilt the setup as an onion. A small core loads in every session. Each directory beneath it adds its own layer of rules, skills and instr

Join our virtual meetup to hear talks from experts on cutting-edge topics at the intersection of agriculture and AI. Date, Time and Location Nov 05, 2026 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM PST Online. Register for the Zoom! Talks will include: U-Net Framework for Micro-Scale Surface Damage Segmentation in High-Resolution Soybean Seed Imagery Accurate detection of surface-level seed damage is critical for soybean seed quality assurance, yet automated micro-scale damage detection in high-resolution imagery remains an open challenge due to extreme spatial variability in damage scale, severe class imbalance across damage types, and the computational demands of processing ultra-high resolution agricultural imagery at scale. This research addresses the semantic segmentation of fine-grained soybean seed surface defects, such as wrinkles, dark spots, and general surface damage, in 6048 × 4024 pixel images where target damages can be as small as 18 × 18 pixels, using an augmented dataset of 77,000 individual seed images. To overcome the difficulties of micro-scale detection, spatial sparsity, and class confusion, we propose a two-stage training and dual model inference framework built on an optimized U-Net architecture with a ResNet34 encoder. In the first stage, a damage specialist model is trained using weighted loss functions and a class-balanced approach that prioritizes damage classes. In the second stage, transfer learning is applied to initialize a healthy seed specialist model from Stage 1 weights, with rebalanced class weights and tile probabilities that identify healthy seeds. During inference, a confidence-gated damage filter suppresses low-confidence predictions, and healthy seed labels are assigned only when the specialist model's confidence exceeds that of the damage model. The two specialist models achieve validation accuracies of 94% and 98.53%, respectively, and the combined inference system successfully detects and localizes all three damage categories across unsee
