Willkommen bei "Build & Connect" – dem Treffpunkt für Unternehmer:innen, die raus aus dem operativen Hustle wollen. Organisiert von Gründerio.

English description below.

Dieses kostenfreie Event richtet sich vor allem an Unternehmer:innen und Selbstständige, die bereits ihr eigenes Business aufgebaut haben und den nächsten Schritt gehen wollen – vom Operator zum strategischen Owner. Natürlich bist du auch herzlich willkommen, wenn du dich noch in der Planungsphase deiner Selbstständigkeit befindest.

Das erwartet dich bei unserem Meetup:

🌟 Expertentalk
Bau’s selbst – oder lass es?
Eigene Software-Tools zu bauen war nie so einfach. Genau das ist das Problem.
Mit KI baust du an einem Wochenende, wofür du vor drei Jahren ein Entwicklerteam gebraucht hättest. Die eigentliche Frage ist: Zahlt es sich aus?
Das hängt davon ab, was du baust. Ein Tool für dich selbst lohnt sich, wenn es dir mehr Zeit spart, als Bau und Wartung kosten, und die Wartung nicht wieder an dir hängen bleibt. Ein Produkt, das du verkaufen willst, folgt anderen Regeln. Da ist das Bauen der leichteste Teil. Schwer wird es danach: Kund:innen finden, Support leisten, Updates liefern.

Joe Wilhelm baut seit Jahren Software mit KI und bringt anderen bei, das selbst zu tun. Er zeigt, was heute wirklich geht und was nach dem Bauen kommt.
Alexander Porsch verantwortet seit über zehn Jahren Produkte, als Berater und aktuell als Director Product in einem Corporate-Venture-Startup. Als zertifizierter KI-Manager stellt er die kritischen Fragen: Zahlt sich ein eigenes Produkt aus – oder nicht?

🤝 Austausch auf Augenhöhe: In einer entspannten Atmosphäre kannst du dich mit Gleichgesinnten vernetzen, Ideen austauschen und von den Erfahrungen anderer profitieren.

🍹 Gechillte Atmosphäre: Uns ist wichtig, dass du dich wohlfühlst und Spaß hast. Wenn sich daraus ein neuer Geschäftskontakt oder eine Zusammenarbeit entwickelt – umso besser!

🚀 Unser Ziel: Wir möchten dir nicht nur die Möglichkeit bieten, neue Leute kennenzulernen und echte Verbindungen zu schaffen, sondern dir auch praktische Impulse an die Hand geben, die dir helfen, dein Business so zu strukturieren, dass es für dich läuft – nicht andersherum.

Wir freuen uns darauf, dich bei unserem nächsten Treffen in Wien willkommen zu heißen. Lass uns zusammen wachsen und den Weg vom Operator zum Owner gestalten.

Welcome to "Build & Connect" – the meetup for entrepreneurs ready to escape the operational hustle. Organized by Gründerio.

This free event is aimed primarily at entrepreneurs and self-employed professionals who already run their own business (or several) and are ready for the next step — from operator to strategic owner. Of course, you're also very welcome if you're still in the planning phase of going self-employed.

Here's what awaits you at our meetup:

🌟 Expert Talk:
Build it yourself – or don’t?
Building your own software tools has never been easier. That’s exactly the problem.
With AI, you can build in a weekend what would have taken a dev team three years ago. The real question is: Is it worth it?
That depends on what you’re building. A tool for yourself pays off if it saves you more hours than it costs to build and maintain, and if the maintenance doesn’t end up back on your plate. A product you want to sell plays by different rules. Building is the easy part. The hard part comes after: finding customers, providing support, shipping updates.

Joe Wilhelm has been building software with AI for years and teaches others to do the same. He shows what’s really possible today and what comes after the build.

Alexander Porsch has been leading products for over a decade, as a consultant and currently as Director Product at a corporate venture startup. As a certified AI manager, he asks the critical questions: Does building your own product pay off – or not?

🤝 Real Connections: In a relaxed atmosphere, you can connect with like-minded people, exchange ideas, and learn from each other's experiences.

🍹 Chill Vibes: It's important to us that you feel comfortable and have fun. And if a new business connection or collaboration comes out of it — even better!

🚀 Our Goal: We don't just want to give you the chance to meet new people and build real connections — we also want to hand you practical insights that help you structure your business so it works for you, not the other way around.

We're looking forward to welcoming you at our next meetup in Vienna. Let's grow together and shape the journey from operator to owner.

KI im Tourismus: In 3 Stunden von der Inspiration zur Umsetzung – Ideen priorisieren, KI-Tools testen und erste Anwendungsfälle entwickeln.

Künstliche Intelligenz verändert den Tourismus – von der Reiseplanung über das Gästeerlebnis bis zur Entwicklung neuer Angebote und Geschäftsmodelle. Dabei geht es um weit mehr als einzelne Tools: Es geht um die Frage, welche Chancen entstehen und wie Tourismusbetriebe und Destinationen diese sinnvoll nutzen können. Der dreistündige Workshop von We are Unicorns führt in drei Schritten von der Inspiration über die Priorisierung bis zur Umsetzung. Gemeinsam werfen wir einen Blick auf Entwicklungen, die den Tourismus der Zukunft prägen, identifizieren relevante Potenziale und wählen jene Ideen aus, die sich bereits heute mit überschaubarem Aufwand erproben lassen.Anschließend geht es direkt ins Tun: In kleinen Teams werden ausgewählte Ideen auf konkrete touristische Aufgaben übertragen und passende KI-Werkzeuge getestet. Ziel ist kein theoretischer Überblick, sondern realistische erste Anwendungsfälle, die nach dem Workshop weiterverfolgt werden können.

Für alle, die die Zukunft des Tourismus nicht nur diskutieren, sondern aktiv mitgestalten wollen.

Hello everyone!

We're excited to announce the next Vienna AI Engineering Meetup on Tuesday, November 10th! This time we'll be again hosted by Dynatrace at their Vienna office in the ICON Tower next to Hauptbahnhof.

Mario Zechner, the creator of Pi, will kick off the meetup and explain "WTF is Pi durable", the new experimental harness for long-running, crash-proof, multiplayer agents that shipped together with Pi 1.0. Then Alex Gavrilescu, co-organizer of this meetup and creator of Backlog.md, will show how to stay in control of your agents with Groma.md. Finally, Peter Melchart will wrap up with a short talk on device logging for hybrid apps.

Join us to explore the future of AI Engineering together!

-------------------------------
Here are the detailed abstracts:

WTF is Pi durable (Mario Zechner)
Pi the coding agent is built for one human in a terminal: if the process dies, you look at what happened and tell it to continue. But what if you want an agent that lives in Slack for years, talks to many people in parallel, survives the laptop going to sleep or the container being redeployed, and runs on Cloudflare instead of your Mac? That's Pi Durable, the experimental harness Earendil shipped alongside Pi 1.0. Mario will explain in detail WTF it actually is.

In the loop, not in the dark: staying in control in the era of dark software factories (Alex Gavrilescu)
After Backlog.md enabled agents to generate 300,000 lines with limited oversight, Groma.md restores architectural ownership. It maintains a real-time project blueprint as the source of truth, guiding agent-driven implementation while keeping humans focused on meaningful design decisions. A live demonstration will map a large open-source repository into Groma.

Device Logging Like a Pro (Peter Melchart, short talk)
Hybrid apps are complex. Debugging them doesn’t have to be. Discover a better way to see what’s happening on your device.

-------------------------------
About the speakers:

• Mario Zechner (@badlogicgames) is the creator of Pi, a minimalist, self-modifying AI coding agent now stewarded by the startup Earendil, where he's a stakeholder and team member. Before AI, he built the popular cross-platform Java game framework libGDX and spent years on the animation tool Spine. Refreshingly blunt about the industry, Mario calls permission popups "security theater," warns about "token addiction," and tells engineers to slow down and treat agents as surgical tools. Blog: https://mariozechner.at/
• Alex Gavrilescu leads backend & web engineering at Funstage GmbH in Vienna, keeping millions of free‑to‑play gamers happily tapping. He still ships code, tinkers with Raspberry Pi Kubernetes clusters for fun, and is passionate about weaving project‑management smarts with practical AI. Most recently he created Backlog.md, Groma.md, became the OpenAI Codex Ambassador in Vienna and joined the org team of this very meetup.
• Peter Melchart has spent nearly his entire career making games - from the Amiga to PC, consoles, and for the last 20 years, on (mostly smart) phones. Now he is leading the Mobile Development for Social Brands at Funstage.

Bring one annoying task. Leave with AI helping you do it. No experience needed ✌️

You use ChatGPT. But what if AI could actually do part of your work for you?

​Bring one thing that takes too much time. Maybe it's writing emails, doing research, making reports, creating content, organizing information, answering customers, or working with documents.

​No experience needed. No technical background required. You don't need to be a tech person. You don't even need to understand AI.

​This is for any job, any background. Designer, founder, marketer, student, freelancer, manager, researcher, creator, or just someone curious. If a task eats your time, you belong here.

​This is not a lecture. This is a working session in a tiny group (max 4–5 people) where we sit together and build a simple AI system for something you actually do. You show us the task that wastes your time. We find what AI can handle. We build it together. Then you try it yourself.

​You leave knowing how to use and improve your system, something you can use Monday morning. Then you get a free follow-up call to check your progress or fix what broke.

​Bring one problem. Let's make AI solve it.

​✅ Small co-working session where you build one AI helper useful for YOUR actual task
✅ Personalized guidance: we adapt to your work, your pace, your goals
✅ Small group (4–5 max) so everyone gets personal instructions
✅ Hands-on with simple, modern AI tools — no coding, no jargon, we set everything up with you
✅ A system you can revisit, improve, and expand in future sessions or on your own
✅ Free 1:1 follow-up hour after the workshop to check progress or debug issues
✅ Open to complete beginners — really

​❌ A slide deck you watch while checking your phone

​📍 Location: May change due to capacity. You will be informed in advance.

​"I believe the more we let AI take care of the robotic aspects of our lives, the more time we have for the human parts of it."

​I have founded 20+ businesses. Some worked. Most didn't. That is the point. I test fast, fail fast, and keep what works.

​Right now, I am deep in the world of AI, optimizing my stack for every task and would like to share that knowledge while learning.

​What I am building now:

• ​Explorer Elite — adventure marketplace for solo guides and small outdoor businesses
• ​52 Waypoint — free incubator for serious founders who want to build without funding

Turn one repetitive task from your real work into an AI workflow. Small group, hands-on, your tools ✌️

​What do you do every week that makes you think: "There has to be a better way to do this"?

​Maybe it's emails, research, reports, content, data, meetings, documents, customer questions, or admin. You probably already use AI. But you're still doing most of the work manually. This workshop is about fixing that.

​No AI lecture. No 50-slide presentation. No generic prompt engineering course. Your work. Your tools. Your workflow.

​This is for professionals and founders who want practical results, not another AI course. If repetitive work keeps coming back, you belong here.

​This is not a lecture. This is a working session in a tiny group (max 4–5 people) where we sit down and turn one repetitive task from your real work into an AI-powered workflow. We find the parts AI can handle, design the better workflow, build it, and test whether it actually saves you time.

​You leave with one working system and a clear idea of what to automate next. Then you get a free follow-up call to check your progress or fix what broke.

​Stop doing the same work twice.

​✅ Small co-working session where you automate one real task from YOUR actual job
✅ Personalized guidance: we adapt to your tools, your workflow, your goals
✅ Small group (4–5 max) so everyone gets personal instructions
✅ Hands-on with modern AI tools and automation — Claude Code, OpenClaw, and whatever fits your workflow
✅ A before/after you can measure: hours back, every week
✅ Free 1:1 follow-up hour after the workshop to check progress or debug issues
✅ Open to anyone with repetitive work — technical or not

​❌ A slide deck you watch while checking your phone
❌ A generic "AI will change everything" pep talk

🧑‍💻 Speakers:
Dmytro Hlotenko - Senior Cloud Operations Engineer at Sage Austria
Dmytro Hlotenko is a Senior Cloud Operations Engineer at Sage Austria, working on the cloud platform behind its HR and payroll products for the DACH market - the kind of environment where decades-old business logic meets a modern hybrid cloud estate, and where reliability is not negotiable.
He is an AWS Community Builder, co-lead of AWS User Group Vienna, an AWS New Voices 2025 graduate, and an event manager with AWS Community DACH e.V., where he helps organise AWS Community Day DACH and co-organised AWS Community GameDay Europe in Vienna. Seven AWS certifications later, he still believes the interesting part of the job is the part that does not fit the reference architecture.
He has spoken at AWS Community Days across Europe, at Conf42, on the re Recap Tour, and at the AI for Developing Countries Forum at the United Nations in Vienna. Ukrainian, based in Vienna, and an analog photographer — which is how the agentic photo pipeline he now talks about got started in the first place.

Dmytro's session
My Step Functions DAG Was a Lie: Going Agentic on 8,000 Photos
Once I decided to translate my photography experience into a serverless pipeline. I judged 8,000 photos of your faces, and it was a big success - we turned a problem into a solution with AWS. Lambdas, Rekognition, Bedrock and the rest played together as a system, delivering a memorable AWS Community Day.
The talk traveled far - but it had a fatal weakness. It was good while it lived in the conference room. Outside, my taste — hardcoded into weights and thresholds, and a single Claude call guessing how to process every file — brought things to disaster. It ran rules I wrote for photographs I hadn't taken yet, and failed silently on every shot that didn't fit. Terraform destroy.
This year I tore out every guess. With agents.
Imagine swapping the single photographer for the press agency. I'll show how to keep a mature orchestration relevant in the agentic era. How a chain of pipelines became a grid of agents - separate programs, each with its own tooling and skills distilled from real photography craft. Where the agent reasons about what belongs and judges against real craft, not one engineer's gut. Where v1 had a frozen rule, v2 has a program that thinks.
I'll draw the parallels — where we broke through, where classic approaches still win, which weaknesses got replaced and what each agent does instead. You'll leave with a pattern for any rigid pipeline: which box is a guess, and what if it could reason instead?
Last year I automated my hands. This year, my judgment.

Martin Flechl - Director of Generative AI Research at Dynatrace
Martin Flechl is a machine learning specialist, former particle physicist, and Director of Generative AI Research at Dynatrace, where his team works on LLM- and agent-based approaches to observability and automation.
Before joining Dynatrace, Martin worked at Microsoft on speech recognition and language modeling. Earlier in his career, he spent many years working in particle physics and large-scale scientific data analysis — including as part of the international research effort that led to the discovery of the Higgs boson.
With more than 20 years of experience in data science, data engineering, data analysis, and machine learning, Martin has spent much of his career turning enormous amounts of complex data into useful insights. He has programmed in Python and C++ for more than two decades and brings extensive experience leading research teams and managing international scientific projects.
He has also taught at university level for more than 20 years, combining deep technical expertise with a strong interest in explaining complex ideas clearly.
Today, that combination of scientific data analysis, machine learning, research leadership, and AI is focused on a very practical problem: what happens when software breaks in production, and how far can AI go in understanding the problem and fixing it?

Martin's session
From Alert to Fix: Agentic Root Cause Analysis and Self-Remediation
AI coding agents are increasing the rate at which code reaches production. And with it, the rate at which production breaks. The bottleneck moves from writing code to understanding and fixing what it does at runtime.
This talk looks at what it actually takes to close that loop. Martin will start with root cause analysis that combines topology, traces, and logs with LLM-based reasoning, then show how that analysis turns into something an agent can act on: the specific commit and code path at fault, the blast radius, and an evidence-backed issue handed to a coding agent.
He'll also cover the part that gets less attention: measuring whether any of this actually works.

Marco Basmaji - DevOps and Platform Engineer at SQUER
Marco is a DevOps and Platform Engineer with extensive experience across projects of every scale, from targeted automation efforts to large, complex infrastructure builds. His recent focus is on AI enablement, bringing intelligent automation into scalable, reliable systems.

Marco's session
LLM Observability: What Happens When You Can't Just Read the Stack Trace
Traditional observability was built for deterministic systems: a request comes in, a predictable path executes, and when something breaks you get a stack trace. LLM-powered systems break that model — the same input can produce a different output, failures look like plausible-sounding nonsense instead of exceptions, and cost, latency, and quality are now entangled in ways that classic APM was never designed to capture.

Bring one annoying task. Leave with AI helping you do it. No experience needed ✌️

You use ChatGPT. But what if AI could actually do part of your work for you?

​Bring one thing that takes too much time. Maybe it's writing emails, doing research, making reports, creating content, organizing information, answering customers, or working with documents.

​No experience needed. No technical background required. You don't need to be a tech person. You don't even need to understand AI.

​This is for any job, any background. Designer, founder, marketer, student, freelancer, manager, researcher, creator, or just someone curious. If a task eats your time, you belong here.

​This is not a lecture. This is a working session in a tiny group (max 4–5 people) where we sit together and build a simple AI system for something you actually do. You show us the task that wastes your time. We find what AI can handle. We build it together. Then you try it yourself.

​You leave knowing how to use and improve your system, something you can use Monday morning. Then you get a free follow-up call to check your progress or fix what broke.

​Bring one problem. Let's make AI solve it.

​✅ Small co-working session where you build one AI helper useful for YOUR actual task
✅ Personalized guidance: we adapt to your work, your pace, your goals
✅ Small group (4–5 max) so everyone gets personal instructions
✅ Hands-on with simple, modern AI tools — no coding, no jargon, we set everything up with you
✅ A system you can revisit, improve, and expand in future sessions or on your own
✅ Free 1:1 follow-up hour after the workshop to check progress or debug issues
✅ Open to complete beginners — really

​❌ A slide deck you watch while checking your phone
❌ A generic "AI will change everything" pep talk
❌ A tech class full of words you don't understand
❌ A networking event disguised as learning
❌ One-size-fits-all. If you want that, YouTube is free!
❌ A certificate to put on LinkedIn

​📍 Location: May change due to capacity. You will be informed in advance.

Turn one repetitive task from your real work into an AI workflow. Small group, hands-on, your tools ✌️

​What do you do every week that makes you think: "There has to be a better way to do this"?

​Maybe it's emails, research, reports, content, data, meetings, documents, customer questions, or admin. You probably already use AI. But you're still doing most of the work manually. This workshop is about fixing that.

​No AI lecture. No 50-slide presentation. No generic prompt engineering course. Your work. Your tools. Your workflow.

​This is for professionals and founders who want practical results, not another AI course. If repetitive work keeps coming back, you belong here.

​This is not a lecture. This is a working session in a tiny group (max 4–5 people) where we sit down and turn one repetitive task from your real work into an AI-powered workflow. We find the parts AI can handle, design the better workflow, build it, and test whether it actually saves you time.

​You leave with one working system and a clear idea of what to automate next. Then you get a free follow-up call to check your progress or fix what broke.

​Stop doing the same work twice.

​✅ Small co-working session where you automate one real task from YOUR actual job
✅ Personalized guidance: we adapt to your tools, your workflow, your goals
✅ Small group (4–5 max) so everyone gets personal instructions
✅ Hands-on with modern AI tools and automation — Claude Code, OpenClaw, and whatever fits your workflow
✅ A before/after you can measure: hours back, every week
✅ Free 1:1 follow-up hour after the workshop to check progress or debug issues
✅ Open to anyone with repetitive work — technical or not

​❌ A slide deck you watch while checking your phone
❌ A generic "AI will change everything" pep talk
❌ A prompt engineering course with 50 examples you'll never use
❌ A networking event disguised as learning
❌ One-size-fits-all. If you want that, YouTube is free!
❌ A certificate to put on LinkedIn

WIT@Austria Community brings AI for Her | 26.11., 16:00–18:00 Turn ideas into AI prototypes with Bob. Team up, solve real-world challenges,

AI for Her – From Idea to Impact

How can AI help us solve challenges that women face in everyday life, at work, and in society?

AI for Her is a hands-on workshop where you can explore generative AI and turn your ideas into working prototypes. Using IBM watsonx Code Assistant (Bob), you’ll see how an AI-powered coding assistant can help you go from a simple idea to a real solution — no coding experience required.

After a short introduction to Bob and some real-world examples, you’ll work in small teams on challenges related to women and society. With support from experienced coaches, you’ll use Bob to develop your idea and build your first prototype.

What could you build?

💡 A solution to help women become more financially independent

⚖️ A tool to make invisible work more visible and fairly shared

❤️ A solution for women’s health and everyday needs, such as a cycle tracker

The focus is simple: learn, experiment, build and have fun together. You’ll discover new AI tools, learn new skills, exchange ideas with colleagues and see how quickly an idea can become a prototype.

Who should join?

Anyone interested in AI, innovation and technology. Technical experience is a plus, but no programming experience is needed.
