Teaching Your AI Coding Agent What It’s Allowed to Build: A Financial Services View

◎ Online

Hosted by The Curve and Homeslates

A focused virtual webinar for senior leaders moving an AI-built prototype into production, covering security, data handling, scale, ownership and trust. AI has made it dramatically easier to create working software, but a convincing demo is not the same as a system an organisation can safely rely on. Running from 11:00am to 11:30am on 13 October 2026, this session examines the work that emerges once a vibe-coded tool leaves the experimental stage, starts handling real data or becomes part of a customer journey. From working prototype to trusted system James Ridgway, CTO at The Curve, will be joined by Tom Gothard, Managing Director at Homeslates. Together, they will explore what changes when an AI-built application moves from “it works” to “we depend on it”. You can also view James Ridgway’s profile for more on his background. The discussion will address questions that are easy to postpone during rapid prototyping: Who owns the tool? Where does its data sit? What happens when it breaks? Can it operate securely and reliably at scale? The speakers will unpack the confidence gap between seeing a demo function and knowing that the underlying system is safe to implement. Topics include: - Why easier software creation does not automatically make software easier to trust - What a working demo cannot reveal about security, data handling and scalability - The implications of using a tool with real organisational or customer data - How to decide whether to review, harden or rebuild an existing application - Why platforms such as Lovable and Claude Code can help build software but cannot independently provide credible assurance that it is safe Who should attend? This webinar is designed for senior leaders across all industries who already have something built with AI and need to determine what happens next. It is not an introduction to vibe coding, and no technical background is required. Instead, expect a concise, practical conversation about evaluating an existing system and understanding what production readiness really involves.… Register for this event

⌖ Frankfurt · byte5 GmbH

Am 13. Oktober 2026 baut das Claude-Meetup Frankfurt bei byte5 live eine neue Fähigkeit für Claude – mit Talks, Engineering-Praxis und Networking. Stop Prompting, Start Engineering Unter dem Motto „Skill Forge“ geht dieses deutschsprachige Meetup über einzelne Prompts hinaus: Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, wie sich für Claude eine neue Fähigkeit systematisch entwickeln lässt. Teilnehmende erleben den Entstehungsprozess live und erhalten praxisnahe Einblicke in Prompt Engineering, KI-Workflows und die Entwicklung agentischer Systeme. Das Treffen richtet sich an Entwickler:innen, AI Builder, technisch interessierte Produktmenschen und alle, die Claude nicht nur nutzen, sondern besser verstehen und gezielt erweitern möchten. Ein konkretes Erfahrungsniveau wird nicht vorausgesetzt; besonders relevant ist das Programm jedoch für Menschen, die sich bereits mit künstlicher Intelligenz, AI-Anwendungen, Webentwicklung oder Automatisierung beschäftigen. Vorläufiger Ablauf - 17:30 Uhr: Ankommen und Check-in - 17:45 Uhr: Vortrag 1 – Thema wird noch bekannt gegeben - 19:00 Uhr: Pizzapause und Networking - 19:30 Uhr: Vortrag 2 – Thema wird noch bekannt gegeben - 21:00 Uhr: Networking und Ende Die Kombination aus Live-Building, Vorträgen und persönlichem Austausch macht das Format besonders praktisch. Neben den fachlichen Sessions bleibt ausreichend Zeit, Erfahrungen zu vergleichen, eigene Claude-Projekte zu diskutieren und Kontakte in der lokalen AI-Community zu knüpfen. Getränke, Snacks und Pizza sind vor Ort vorgesehen. Die konkreten Vortragsthemen und Speaker stehen derzeit noch nicht fest. Wer selbst etwas präsentieren möchte, kann über das Call-for-Speakers-Formular einen Vorschlag einreichen. Themen aus der Community Bei früheren Treffen ging es unter anderem um Prompting, KI-Workflows, das Open-Source Agentic OS der Community sowie Omadia.
