AI Native in Action: Agent Symphony, AI Co-Authors & A Special Book Signing!
ING Cedar, Bijlmerdreef 106, Amsterdam, NH, NLDescription
The future of AI isn't just about models; it's about action. It's about building autonomous systems that can interact securely and using AI as a true partner to amplify our own professional and creative work.This meetup gives you a front-line view of both. First, we'll dive deep into the pragmatic challenge of creating a "symphony" for AI agents to communicate. Then, we'll pull back the curtain on a year-long journey of co-authoring a book with generative AI, moving far beyond simple prompts into a genuine collaboration.
To make this evening even more special, our very own Pini Reznik is launching his new book on October 6th, and this meetup will be the official launch celebration! We're hosting an exclusive book signing after the talks, giving you the first chance to get your copy signed and discuss the ideas with the author himself. You can read all the details on the book and a special offer down below.
Join us for an evening of deep-dive tech, practical strategy, and a community celebration.
Our Speakers
Speaker 1: Raahul Dutta (Founder of Pebbling.ai)
- Talk: Pebbling the Gap: How AI Agents Can Talk Securely with Each Other
- About: The world will soon be agentic. But as AI agents become more autonomous, how do they talk to each other with full confidence? How can an orchestrator discover and communicate with them securely? In this talk, Raahul will discuss how Pebbling.ai is solving this problem by building the "common symphony," a framework that allows an orchestrator to seamlessly and securely play with multiple agents.
Speaker 2: Pini Reznik (Co-Founder and CEO of re:cinq)
- Talk: Hacking the Authoring Process: Lessons from Writing a Book with AI
- About: Over the last 18 months, Pini didn't just write a book about the AI revolution; he wrote a book with it. His book was created in a deep, evolving partnership with generative AI. This talk is the story of their collaboration. Pini will take you from initial, tentative prompts to the complex dialogues that shaped entire chapters, sharing real examples and their raw outputs. This journey provides a powerful parallel to the core message of his book: becoming "AI native" isn't about replacing human skill but augmenting it. You will leave with a clear-eyed view of how to move beyond simple queries and integrate LLMs into any serious, professional workflow.
Exclusive Book Launch: Get Your Signed Copy of "From Cloud Native to AI Native: Catching the Next Wave of Innovation"
This meetup is your first chance to celebrate the launch of Pini's highly anticipated book! We'll be giving away a limited number of free copies on a first-come, first-served basis.
However, the best way to guarantee you get your copy signed is to purchase it yourself when it launches on October 6th. Not only is it a huge sign of support for the authors, but you also get an incredible deal:
Special Launch Offer! Purchase the book within the first three days of its launch (October 6th-8th), and you’ll receive our Transformations Pattern Kit, valued at €50 for free! Just upload your receipt here. This is a powerful toolset that complements the book's strategies.
So, buy your copy, bring it along, and get it signed while taking advantage of this exclusive offer.

AI in Practice: Search Innovation & Building Analyst Agents
Xebia Amsterdam Office, Wibautstraat 200, 1091 TJ Amsterdam, Amsterdam, NLAI in Practice: Search Innovation & Building Analyst Agents
AI innovation is moving faster than ever: it’s reshaping how we search, analyze and make sense of data. In this meetup, we will bring together two experts that will share practical stored and hands-on lessons that cut through the buzz and show how AI is being applied in the real world.This event is a special collaboration between the AI Native Amsterdam meetup and the Xebia Data Engineering meetup.
Speaker 1: Arno van de Velde (Principal Solution Architect, Elasticsearch B.V)
Arno van de Velde is a Principal Solution Architect at Elastic. He helps customers turn Elastic’s Search, Observability, and Security capabilities into real use cases. With a background in software testing, QA, CI/CD, and DevOps, Arno works with major financial services and large enterprises. He speaks candidly about where AI adds value, and where its limits and trade-offs show up in practice.
Talk: Arno will explore the evolution of search technology in the age of AI. From large language models and “LLM Wars” to enterprise-scale challenges in observability and security, he’ll share practical insights on how Elastic customers are experimenting with AI, what works today, and why the answer often depends on context.Speaker 2: Daniel Herrera (Analytics Engineer & Developer Advocate, Teradata)
Daniel Herrera is a Principal Developer Advocate at Teradata, where he helps developers and data teams connect modern data engineering with AI innovation. He works across open-source tools like dbt, Airbyte, and Airflow, and explores how generative AI and data lifecycle automation can create real business impact. With a background in software and blockchain development, Daniel is passionate about open collaboration and making complex technology accessible through practical examples.
Talk: Daniel will take a hands-on journey into building AI analyst agents from scratch. Using dbt metadata to provide large language models with the right context, he’ll show how to connect LLMs to your data effectively. Expect a deep dive into the challenges of query generation, practical frameworks for success, and lessons learned from real-world implementations.
Together, the event will cover:- How search innovation is evolving with AI
- What it really takes to build functional data agents
- Practical examples, pitfalls, and geeky fun along the way
