Join us for an evening of live coding, honest career stories and AI agents running in production, hosted by Imagen AI! 🎊 About us: Imagen is developing disruptive technology for the professional photo editing market. We use the past editing history of each of our Imageners (clients) to create a personalized AI profile. That profile lets photographers optimize their workflow, cut down on painstaking editing work, and keep their unique editing style. Wedding, event and portrait photographers around the world use it to get back hours of their time. At this Meetup the people behind the product take the stage. React Runs Your Terminal: Let’s Build One Live Tal Moskovich, Senior Full Stack Engineer at Imagen AI Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenAI Codex CLI, Prisma, Gatsby. What do they all have in common? They're React apps - just not in your browser. Ink is a React renderer that outputs to the terminal instead of the DOM, using the same Yoga flexbox engine as React Native, with full support for hooks and context. In this live coding session, we'll start from an empty index.tsx and build "Troll Code": a working AI-powered CLI, live! Compose terminal layouts with React components and Flexbox Manage streaming responses with useState and useEffect Handle keyboard navigation and real user input Push the renderer from ~30fps to optimized 60+ If you already know React, you're already most of the way to building your own dev tool, AI assistant, or interactive CLI. Starting Over: Are Our Boundaries Really Technical? Meirav Grimberg, Backend Engineer at Imagen AI As developers, are our boundaries really set by our technical knowledge? After four years deep in low-level development, I made the jump to backend and found myself starting over. In this talk, I'll share what that shift actually felt like: the fear of being "the junior" again, the skills that carried over in surprising ways, and the things that were completely new. Along the way, it changed how I think about career

From compute bottlenecks and silicon innovation to orchestration, cost optimization, and enterprise scaling - AI infrastructure is the foundational battleground of the next tech wave. Join us for an exclusive morning of high-impact discussions in front of 200+ early-stage founders, as some of the best investors in the space dissect where the infrastructure stack is heading, what gaps still need to be filled, and what founders need to build to win. Hosted by: Google for Startups Or Azulay - Founder at Specks of Light Speakers: Amir Shevat, General Partner, Darkmode Ventures Renana Ashkenazi, Managing Partner, Grove Ventures Yair Snir, Managing Director, Dell Technologies Capital Guy Fighel, Partner & Head of AI, Hetz Ventures Agenda: 9:30-10:00 - Snacks, Drinks & Mingling. 10:00-11:30 - Live panel & Audience Q&A See you there :)

On election eve, we're talking about a different kind of choice. Three Israelis who switched into AI security and now work in the field full-time, from abroad, share their careers and their choices: how they got in, why they bet on it, and what they'd do now if they were in your shoes. Speakers Asher Brass Gershovich, AI Security Researcher at RAND Before RAND, Asher was a Senior Researcher on the compute policy team at the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy (IAPS), and Head of the Cyber Analysis Team at Cynerio. He served as a cybersecurity officer in Unit 8200 and as a Senior Technological Researcher at the Israeli Prime Minister's Office. Asher is also a co-founder of Heron AI Security. Guy P., Member of Technical Staff at the Security Level 5 Task Force Before SL5, Guy worked as an HPC chip engineer, vulnerability researcher and R&D project lead. He also wrote a musical about AI, Out of This Box: The Last Musical (Written by Humans). Ariel Gil, Senior Research Manager at Pivotal Research Ariel co-founded and co-led the AI Standards Lab, which helped shape the EU AI Act implementation and the EU GPAI Code of Practice. Before that, he was a mechatronics engineer in ophthalmic surgery robotics. Who it's for People with at least 5 years of experience in cybersecurity or ML who are transitioning into AI security, or seriously considering it. Please note: Spots are limited. We'll approve the participants we think will get the most value from the evening.

Only R&D Ships. So I Can Sleep at Night Claude changed who gets to build software. At Imagen, that no longer means just R&D. Product, Operations, Support, and other teams can experiment, connect tools, and build working AI-powered solutions on their own. We decided not to fight that. Instead, we moved the boundary. Everyone can build. Only R&D ships to production. To make that possible, we built a harness that separates fast experimentation from production-grade software. It runs as a service on Kubernetes, with CI/CD, version control, and a shared execution layer. Every capability is packaged as a skill that combines scripts, connectors, instructions, and rules. That means people can move fast without needing to understand the infrastructure underneath. And when
