About this event

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

Coffee & Lift Sunday — Women+ Gym Meetup

19grams Alex – Coffee Roastery, Berlin, Germany
In person

When I first started strength training, I was intimidated, confused, and nowhere near consistent. I kept thinking it would be easier if I just had other women around me going through the same thing. So I'm starting exactly that — for women who want to be more serious about their strength training, get extra accountability and a community of women. Up until now we've been running Coffee & Lift on Saturdays. We're now expanding to Sundays too, so we can make room for more women and get more of us stronger together. This one is on a Sunday, at Holmes Place Gendarmenmarkt. How it works We meet in front of a cafe, grab a coffee, take a walk together, and end at a gym nearby. Want to train after? Great — work on your own program or buddy up with someone. Prefer to just do the walk and grab a coffee? Also great. What matters is that you're surrounded by other women who are interested in getting stronger. 9 free gym passes on us for Holmes Place Gendarmenmarkt! If you've always wanted to join a Coffee & Lift but haven't been able to, this is your sign — we have 9 free gym passes to give out! All we ask in return is a quick story from the session tagging @womensliftclub. Please only claim one if: You have never had a free day pass from Holmes Place before. This one is important, it's a condition from our gym partner. You don't already have a Wellpass, Urban Sports Club, or Holmes Place membership. Let's make sure they go to the right people! How to claim your pass: there's nothing to do in advance. Just come to the event and you'll go into the gym together with the host, who will sort everything out on the day. Please do make sure you actually turn up, because a claimed pass that goes unused is a spot another woman could have had. Please note: by claiming a free pass, you agree that your name and email address will be shared with Holmes Place, and that they may contact you in future about their own offers and marketing. Free filter coffee from 19grams this week! 19grams is

Pricing AI Adoption

Berlin, Germany, Berlin, Germany
In person

From Individual Usage to Company-Wide Adoption How packaging and pricing turn AI experimentation into sustainable growth. AI products often begin with individual experimentation, but sustainable growth depends on turning that early usage into team and organisation-wide adoption. Reasoning Project together with Stripe Metronome and Langdock are bringing together a small group of founders, engineering leaders and operators building AI agents and autonomous workflows. We’ll explore how trials, usage limits, seats, credits and enterprise plans can reduce friction, demonstrate value quickly and create a commercially sustainable path from individual usage to broader adoption. In discussion with: Lennard Schmidt (Co-founder & Co-CEO at Langdock) Finn zur Mühlen (Co-founder & CEO at telli) Agenda 18:30 - Doors open 19:00 - Fireside discussion 19:45 - Bites, drinks and vibes 21:30 - Goodbyes, doors close About Reasoning Project Reasoning Project brings founders and technical builders across Europe and the US together with leading venture firms and generation-defining companies. We back teams at the earliest stages as angels, before and alongside tier-1 investors. About Metronome, a Stripe product Metronome is the usage-based billing platform that helps companies launch products faster and already powers some of the most ambitious AI companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and NVIDIA.
