The Munich AI Nexus is a senior-level meetup series for architects and engineers solving real-world production AI challenges.

Why This Exists?

We noticed something: most AI meetups show you the shiny demo. Nobody talks about why your model works in staging but crashes in prod at 2am. Or why your data pipeline is held together with duct tape and prayers.

So we built something different. Nine meetup sessions covering the stuff that actually breaks.

**The result? **The Production Readiness Blueprint - an open-source collection of patterns that actually helped someone ship something.

MEETUP FOCUS:

• Theme*: *State: Persistence for Resilience

• How do you build AI systems that remember, recover, and replay?

WHO THIS IS FOR:

• AI engineers
• AI architects
• ML platform teams
• Applied AI leads
• Builders working beyond PoCs

If you’re operating agent systems in production, it is.

HOW YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE:

Share your related personal challenge, lesson learned.

AGENDA:

• 🎤Talk #1: Hande Kafkas, Founding Growth Engineer, cognee + David Louis Hollembaek, Engineering Senior Management, Veeva Systems

• Agents memory and learning

• 🎤Talk #2: Dr. Simon Stieber, Senior AI Engineer, Xitaso

• Coding agents harnesses, and how state and harness are more important than the model itself

• 🧩Group Challenge: We'll present a simplified multi-step AI workflow that works under ideal conditions and breaks under real ones. Your task is not to fix the code but to design a state layer around it. <read more>

FORMAT:

• production system walkthroughs

• architectural decision breakdowns

• interactive discussion around real failure modes

• Host: Asaad Almutareb [founder of artiquare, appliedAI Developers MUC Meetup Curator]

• The appliedAI Developers bring together engineers, researchers and tech leaders solving real-world AI challenges through knowledge exchange and collaboration.

• Hosted by celonis
