Hosted by Ireland Startup: Idea to IPO

Build and deploy an AI research agent in this three-hour online workshop on 27 October 2026, focused on faster company and competitor research. Rather than manually piecing together reviews, company news, hiring activity and market signals, you’ll customise an existing competitive-intelligence agent and turn scattered public data into structured findings. During the hands-on session, you will: - Clone a working agent from GitHub - Connect custom sources such as RSS feeds and open APIs - Test the agent live against a real company or competitor - Deploy a reusable agent designed to run 100+ research queries The same agent supports two practical workflows: Job Seeker Mode, for investigating growth, leadership, hiring and potential red flags before applying or accepting an offer; and Competitive Mode, for tracking competitors, market gaps, recruitment trends and strategic moves. Who it’s for This is not an introductory “how to use AI” tutorial. Attendees should already be comfortable asking questions and iterating with Claude. Bring a laptop and browser. Optional 10-minute pre-work covers cloning the repository, configuring an API key and checking that it runs; otherwise, setup will happen during the first 20 minutes. The ticket costs $17–27 and includes materials plus a post-work recap covering iteration, advanced techniques and troubleshooting. Meetup members receive 25% off with code MEETUP.

⌖ Nottingham · Fothergill House

Hosted by DevOps Notts

Explore architecture governance for AI coding agents at Fothergill House in Nottingham on 27 October 2026, from 6–8pm GMT. This DevOps Notts talk presents a financial-services approach to moving governance earlier in the software development process. Rather than relying solely on architecture review boards, deployment failures and late-stage guardrails, the session will show how governance can become part of an AI agent’s reasoning. You’ll learn how an agent can read real policy documents, explain applicable requirements in plain English while a developer is still describing a system, and identify constraints before any Terraform is created. The talk also covers mirroring those policies in OPA/Rego rules, allowing the agent to check its own proposed design before presenting it and enabling CI to verify changes made by hand. The event is particularly relevant to DevOps practitioners, software engineers, architects and teams working with AI-assisted development in regulated environments. No speaker biography or experience-level requirement has been published. Agenda - 18:00: Doors open - 18:30: Talk begins - 19:15: Pizza and catch-up - 20:00: Doors close Hosted by Mica B. for DevOps Notts at CGI Fothergill House, 16 King Street, Nottingham NG1 2AS.

Hosted by PauseAI Scotland at the University of Edinburgh’s Playfair Library Hall, this structured discussion will examine a pressing question: who is responsible when AI goes wrong? Panellists will consider how Scotland’s political, technical and policy communities are modelling AI’s threats, uncertainties, opportunities and possible responses. The event description contrasts AI governance with tightly regulated fields such as aviation, pharmaceuticals and nuclear technology. It cites a 2026 UN report on AI, warnings from frontier AI professionals and a reported AI model evaluation security incident as context for the debate.
