About this event
AI is moving from simple prompts to systems that can reason, plan, use tools, and take action. Building for the Agentic Era is for people who want to understand what that shift really means in practice, and how to build products, workflows, and companies around it. This is an in-person meetup in Bengaluru for builders, operators, and curious practitioners who want sharper thinking, better conversations, and stronger community around agentic AI. If you care about where AI products are headed next, this is the room to be in. About the Event Building for the Agentic Era is a community-driven meetup focused on what changes when AI systems become more autonomous, more integrated into workflows, and more capable of acting across tools and environments. The goal is not just to talk about trends, but to explore the real design, product, engineering, and operational questions that come with this new wave. Expect a thoughtful, practical format built for people who are actively building, experimenting, or trying to make sense of the space. Rather than a passive audience experience, this event is designed to create useful exchanges between people at different stages of the journey, from early curiosity to hands-on implementation. Bengaluru is one of the best places to host a conversation like this. It brings together founders, engineers, researchers, product thinkers, and AI enthusiasts who are already shaping what the next generation of software will look like. This meetup is a chance to bring those perspectives into one room. What to Expect You can expect a structured but approachable afternoon centered on ideas, examples, and discussion. The focus is on creating a setting where attendees can both learn and contribute, whether you are deep in agent workflows already or just starting to explore the space. A typical flow for the meetup may include: Welcome and context-setting on what “agentic” means and why it matters now Short talks or guided discussions around building patterns, product decisions, and emerging opportunities Real-world conversation about where agents work well, where they break, and what teams are learning Community networking with other people working on AI products, infrastructure, and applied use cases The best meetups create momentum through the room, not just from the stage. That means space for honest questions, practical insights, and conversations that continue after the formal session ends. You should also expect a strong peer-learning element. Some attendees may be exploring autonomous workflows, multi-step reasoning, AI copilots, tool-using systems, or new interface patterns. Others may be thinking about reliability, evaluation, UX, adoption, or product strategy. Bringing these perspectives together is part of the value. Why Attend If you are trying to build with AI right now, the landscape can feel noisy. New models, frameworks, demos, and claims appear constantly. What matters is learning how to separate novelty from signal. This event helps you get closer to people who are thinking carefully about what is actually useful, usable, and durable. You will leave with a clearer sense of the questions worth asking: What makes an AI product truly agentic instead of just automated? Where do agents create real value for users and teams? What product and engineering tradeoffs show up when you give systems more autonomy? How should builders think about trust, control, visibility, and failure modes? There is also a strong community reason to attend. The people you meet at a focused meetup like this can become future collaborators, sounding boards, hires, co-founders, customers, or simply the people you turn to when a technical or product problem gets hard. For many attendees, the biggest payoff will be better framing. The agentic era is not just about adding AI to an existing stack. It often requires rethinking user flows, system design, operational boundaries, and the role humans should continue to play. Conversations like these can save months of vague experimentation. Practical Details This is an in-person event in Bengaluru, India, built for real conversation and local community connection. If you value meeting people face-to-face, having deeper technical and product discussions, and building relationships beyond the comment section, this format is a major advantage. The event takes place on Saturday, December 6 at 2:00 PM GMT+5:30. An afternoon time slot makes it easier to attend without the rush of a weekday schedule, and gives room for both the main session and post-event networking. A few useful things to keep in mind: Format: community meetup with discussion and networking at the center Theme: AI in the agentic era, including product, engineering, and practical applications Location type: in person in Bengaluru Best for: builders, founders, product leaders, engineers, researchers, and serious AI learners If this is already a priority area for you, attending will be an efficient way to deepen your perspective and expand your network in a room full of people paying attention to the same shift. If you are still forming your point of view, this is a strong place to do it with better context and better company.
Who should attend
This meetup is for people who want to move beyond surface-level AI conversation and spend time with others thinking seriously about what agentic systems change. - **You’re building AI products or features** and want to understand how agents, tool use, autonomy, and workflow orchestration may affect your roadmap. - **You’re a founder or operator** exploring where agentic AI can create real business value, not just impressive demos. - **You work in product, engineering, or design** and need clearer thinking on usability, reliability, control, and trust in AI-driven systems. - **You’re an AI engineer, researcher, or technical practitioner** who wants to compare notes with others experimenting in the space and learn from adjacent perspectives. - **You’re an active member of the Bengaluru tech community** looking for sharper conversations and meaningful networking around where AI is going next. - **You’re curious but serious**: maybe you are not deep in agentic systems yet, but you want practical context, better questions, and a room full of people who are already engaging with the shift. If you want practical insight, strong peer conversation, and a more grounded view of the agentic era, you will likely feel at home here.
