HACK FOR HUMANITY: FALL 2026 Our chapter is joining Hack for Humanity, The AI Collective's global initiative running Fall 2026. It's the continuation of the Humans in AI Week conversations we held this summer, where we identified real problems in our local community... and now is our chance to build the solutions. The schedule 30 mins· Networking 15 mins · Problem briefing 3 hours · Hack 45 mins · Demos and judging The focus here is exactly what the name says. Every problem statement and every project should solve something local to your community, with the purpose of benefiting humanity. All types of builders are welcome at this event. The winners of this event may be asked to showcase their products within our global newsletter with 300k+ subscribers! RSVP below and we'll see you there. Please be advised: Unfortunately, space is very limited at these community events and we can not always accept everyone we would like to. If you are not accepted to this event, please keep applying! We appreciate your application tremendously and we are looking forward to seeing you at a future event very soon! The AI Collective is a global non-profit building the human layer for the AI era. We unite 200,000+ leaders, builders, and stakeholders across 100+ forums worldwide to democratize the frontier, build trust, and coordinate how society navigates the rapid acceleration of technological progress.

Turn a WhatsApp message into a blinking light, a moving motor or a gadget with opinions. You'll join a team of four, assigned at the door, and get a hardware kit and a blank board. Over the first hour you'll bring that board to life yourselves: flash it, set up your own Lua AI agent, link your WhatsApp, and send the first command. From there you teach the gadget new tricks in software, and the AI works out how to use them from plain messages. Then it's an open build. A physical weather display. A temperature gauge with a personality. A reaction game that trash-talks you. Something nobody else in the room expected. No hardware experience needed. Every step is on the event page, there's starter code, and there's support throughout the build. If you use Claude Code or Codex, bring it. It'll do the typing while you do the wiring. The evening ends with a two-minute demo from every team. What to bring A laptop you can install software on (with Claude Code or Codex if you use them, and a USB-A-to-C adapter if it has no USB-C port) A USB-C data cable, not a charge-only one A phone with WhatsApp that can receive an email code (you'll create a free Lua account on the night) An idea you want to make physical Event details Date: Monday 5 October 2026 Time: 6:00–9:00 PM. Arrive on time; the first hour is the build-up Venue: Dogpatch Labs, Dublin Format: teams of four, 52 places About Lua AI Lua AI connects AI agents to physical devices: a device tells the agent what it can do, and the agent uses those commands from natural-language messages, including WhatsApp. About Give(a)Go Give(a)Go is one of Ireland's largest communities for people building with emerging technology, bringing together 3,000+ engineers, founders and product people through hands-on events where participants turn new tools and ideas into working prototypes. Food & drinks will be provided Dublin AI Week This event is part of Dublin AI Week, a citywide programme of practical AI events by Give(a)Go and Baseline. E

Hi All, Dublin AI-Week is upon us!!! And the Augmented Software Engineering Meetup is part of it. The next meetup will happen on Oct., 08th, 6pm. We are still locking down the location. The theme for the evening is ... How to build, configure, run dark (software) factories? We have one presentation, but we are looking for a second one. Feel free to contact me (roland@tritsch.email), if you want to contribute. Regards ... Roland

Founders Café, from OpenAI × Dogpatch Labs, is for 30 people considering whether to build a company. You might be exploring a problem worth solving, testing an early idea, looking for a co-founder, or deciding whether to leave your current role and start building. The afternoon is structured around small-group conversations, co-founder matching, mentoring and office hours. The aim is to help you pressure-test what you are working on, meet people at a similar stage, and get clearer on the next decision you need to make. You do not need to have incorporated a company, raised funding, found a co-founder or worked everything out. You do need to be actively considering whether there is something worth pursuing. Who is it for Founders Café is for people who are: Exploring a problem or early idea Testing whether an idea is strong enough to pursue Considering moving from product, engineering, design, research or commercial work into building a company Already building informally and deciding whether to take it further What to expect This is a working afternoon built around conversation rather than presentations. Bring an idea, a problem, or an assumption you need to test. The useful outcome is a clearer view of what you are pursuing, what remains unresolved, and what you should do next. Places are limited to 30 so there is enough time for useful conversations, relevant introductions and individual attention. Continue into the evening Founders Café is the first part of a wider day for founders at Dogpatch Labs. From 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, OpenAI × Dogpatch Labs will host Founder Firesides: Inside the Raise, with Sean Mullaney, CEO of Seapoint, and Ryan Morrissey, CEO of Hoplite. The conversation will focus on what fundraising looks like while you are still running the company: how founders manage the process alongside customers, product and hiring, and what changes once a raise is underway.
