Building Multi-Agent Workflows with n8n and Memanto

Important Register on the [event website](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026072814) (Due to room capacity and building security, you must pre-register at the link for admission) Venue: Spur Innovation Center, 2240 University Ave, Waterloo **Description:** Welcome to the AI meetup in Waterloo. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and Agent, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers and fellow developers. **Tech Talk: AI Customer Support Multi-Agent with n8n and open-source Memory, Memanto** **Speaker:** Majid Fekri, Co-founder & CTO, Moorcheh by Edge AI Innovations **Abstract:** A support agent built in n8n that remembers each user across sessions not just within one conversation. When a message comes in, it pulls that user's full history from Memanto (past issues, preferences, tone) before generating a reply, then stores anything new it learns right after. No more asking users to repeat themselves. The bot knows who they are, what they've asked before, and how they like to be helped, every single time. **Tech Talk: Beyond Passive Vector DBs: Powering Agents with Memanto's Open-Source Active Memory** **Speaker:** Tara Khani, Co-founder & CEO, Moorcheh by Edge AI Innovatio **Abstract:** As AI workflows transition from static RAG to autonomous coding agents (like Cursor and Claude Code), traditional vector databases introduce a catastrophic "RAM Tax" and passive retrieval bottlenecks. This session covers the architecture of Memanto, an open-source active memory agent built on an Information-Theoretic semantic engine. We will break down how to replace passive data ingestion with a three-primitive memory loop (remember, recall, answer) that gives agents persistent, cross-session context. We will demonstrate how Memanto achieves state-of-the-art accuracy on LongMemEval while running entirely on-premise, slashing infrastructure overhead by 90% and scaling to trillions of workloads without indexing delays. **Speakers/Topics:** Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules. If you have a keen interest in speaking to our community, we invite you to submit topics for consideration: [Submit Topics](https://forms.gle/JkMt91CZRtoJBSFUA) **Sponsors:** We are actively seeking sponsors to support AI developers community. Whether it is by offering venue spaces, providing food, or cash sponsorship. Sponsors will not only speak at the meetups, receive prominent recognition, but also gain exposure to our extensive membership base of 10,000+ AI developers in Toronto or 500K+ worldwide.

Rates are $2.00 for the first hour and $3.00 for each additional hour.* *Additional parking is available at 99 Atlantic Ave. Payment can be made through the Indigo app, which offers an evening flat rate of $10.00 starting at 6:00 PM.* * *If you're taking transit, there are several streetcar routes nearby, including the 504, 63, and 304. We are also approximately a 10-minute walk from the GO Station, and there are plenty of Bike Share Toronto stations throughout the area.* **Registration and Event Details** Our goal is to bring artificial intelligence and cybersecurity together. To do that, we need to explore what's happening in AI and what's happening in cybersecurity, and where the two intersect and collide. We're also working to understand how we solve problems in these areas, what that looks like, and how Canada can and will participate. With that in mind, we're pleased to announce our speakers and the agenda for our next meeting! **Sponsors** And thanks to our host, [TrendAI](https://www.trendaisecurity.com)! **Agenda** **Doors Open: 5:30PM** **Event Start: 6:00PM** * 👋 **Welcome and introductions** * 🙏 **Thank you to our amazing hosts and sponsors!** 🎉 * 🎙️ **Speakers** 🎤 **Speaker #1: Alfredo Oliveira - Threat Research** *We cloned \~19,000 MCP server projects from GitHub and pointed vulnerability-analysis agents at their code. The initial sweep looked alarming over 17,000 hits, exactly the kind of number that headlines a model launch. Under scrutiny, only around 4% survived as genuinely exploitable, mostly SQL injection, RCE, and path traversal. Two takeaways from this research: MCP's rapid sprawl is widening the attack surface, and LLMs used as security tools are confidently wrong far more often than their raw output suggests. Multistage verification trims the noise but doesn't remove it.* **About Alfredo:** *Alfredo Oliveira is a cybersecurity researcher with experience in AI and cloud container security. He has authored numerous articles and papers addressing critical cyber security topics. His unique insights and threat modelling capabilities provide valuable* *awareness of modern attack vectors. From container registries to uncovering modern AI vulnerabilities, Alfredo's research has significantly contributed to the understanding of modern cybersecurity threats while providing actionable insights included in the* *MITRE framework & Atlas case studies.* 🎤 **Speaker #2: Lei Zhou** *Abstract:* *Most teams solving AI sovereignty stop at the cloud layer —data residency policies, regional cloud providers, open-weight models on private infrastructure. That's the easy part.* *The hard part is what happens below the API gateway. When your sovereign LLM nodes run on MaaS infrastructure, your inference workloads still execute on shared physical hardware — isolated by hypervisors and provider policy, not by cryptographic proof. What does data residency actually guarantee when you can't attest to the hardware state? How do you verify your sovereign deployment is sovereign — not just hosted somewhere that says it is?* *This talk walks through the real-world architecture and deployment of a three-tier sovereign LLM stack across EU, NA, and Asia-Pacific — from stakeholder discovery and CSP evaluation through gateway policy enforcement and regional node deployment. We'll cover the evaluation framework that goes beyond price and latency to data residency verification and trust boundary analysis, the hardware-aware model benchmarking methodology that changes which models you choose in production, and the specific architectural gaps that only become visible when you look below the application layer — and what closing them actually requires.* *You'll leave with a deployable three-tier sovereign architecture pattern, a CSP evaluation framework you can apply immediately, and a precise understanding of where MaaS-based sovereignty ends and what hardware-level trust would need to add.* ***About Lei Zhou:*** *Lei Zhou is Principal Tech Lead at Linaro, where he led the end-to-end design and deployment of a company-wide three-tier sovereign LLM transformation — from stakeholder discovery and organisational consensus-building through architecture design, CSP evaluation, and multi-regional node deployment across EU, NA, and Asia-Pacific.* *His background spans 25+ years across the complete systems stack — from semiconductor platform security at Qualcomm, AMD, and BlackBerry through mixed-criticality automotive SDV architecture and AI/LLM infrastructure at Linaro — with deep expertise in hardware-rooted trust, TEE isolation, confidential computing, and secure infrastructure deployment.* *Speaker at Embedded World 2026 (Nuremberg), AGL All Member Meeting 2026 (Tokyo), and EdgeTech+ Japan 2025. Published on platform security and automotive real-time systems at Zenodo and Medium* **⚡ Lightning Talks and Demos** Lightning Talks - 5 to 15 minutes long 1. Curtis Collicutt: *An Overview of AI Hardware - From Smartphones to Massive Data centers* 2. **You? - Please reach out if you'd like to do a lightning talk or demo - anyone is welcome to demo something they are working one** Please reach out to us if you'd like to present at the meetup. We are looking for people to talk about what they are working on, what they are building and learning, and are open to any level of experience and technical depth. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, we want to hear from you! We're all just out here building and learning. 👋 **See You There!** Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you at the meetup!

Java Compiler Superpowers: Annotation Processors, Error Prone, and Coding Agents

Java has compiler superpowers that most developers never use directly. **Did you know you can write code that runs inside** ***javac***? That you can inspect classes, methods, types, annotations, and syntax trees while the compiler is working? That you can generate source code, report custom compiler errors, or write checks that understand what code means rather than just what text it contains? Most Java developers have already used these capabilities indirectly. Frameworks like MapStruct and Spring Boot extend the compiler to generate code and metadata during compilation, making them feel like ordinary framework features when they’re actually compiler extensions. In this talk we’ll explore another powerful compiler extension: **Error Prone**, Google’s open-source static analysis framework for Java. Error Prone runs inside javac, understands the structure of your code, catches bug patterns at compile time, and can be extended with custom rules that report diagnostics, suggest fixes, and enforce architectural standards. We’ll also see why this matters in the age of coding agents. Prompts and documentation can guide an AI, but compiler diagnostics provide deterministic feedback. By turning architecture and coding rules into compiler errors with clear, actionable messages, we can guide both developers and coding agents using the same reliable feedback loop. You’ll leave with a practical mental model of Java’s compiler extension APIs, understand how Error Prone works, and know how to build your own compile-time checks. **About the venue** Free Times Cafe has bistro-style seating and a full food and drink menu. Please consider helping to support the venue by planning to have supper during the talk. **Speaker Bio** Adib Saikali is a distinguished engineer at Tanzu by Broadcom, focused on helping Tanzu’s largest customers design and build cloud native applications and platforms using Spring and Kubernetes. Adib is the author of Securing Cloud Applications a book that teaches application developers the fundamental security technologies and protocols required to secure cloud native applications. Over the past 25 years Adib has worked at startups and global enterprises on numerous software systems in a variety of roles, from software developer, architect, agile coach, and CTO. He has developed a 360-degree view of what it takes to build software systems efficiently, and economically.
