Canggu, Bali · Every other Thursday · Tropical Nomad

Two builders. Seven minutes each. Then the Hotseat.

Real AI in production, shown live. If it doesn't run on stage, it doesn't get a slot. Then the room takes the mic — the wins, the fails, and what it actually cost.

1 · The format

Interesting presentations, and the chance to actually meet each other.

Each presenter gets an identical 14-minute block: seven minutes to show something that runs, seven minutes of questions. Two presenters a night.

The Hotseat is ten minutes for anyone in the room to describe a real attempt to use AI in their business — what worked, what didn't, what it cost in tokens and sleep.

Hosted by Nicholas Levenstein. Venue sponsor: Tropical Nomad, Canggu. Every other Thursday; doors 6:30, programme 6:40.

One rule for presenters: demo a working product or code, live. No slide-only talks.

What eleven agents actually cost

Nick opened the books on running a small firm on agents — a planned monthly allowance gone in a day, the "38 agents" that were really 11, and the key-person question investors ask. Chris Wijnia (Chief Innovation Officer, Agio Digital) took the technical questions.

  • Fetch, don't paste: connect the CRM and the note-taker instead of loading transcripts.
  • Turn repeat work into skills; watch scheduled loops — frequency drives cost more than cleverness.
  • No RAG at this size; connectors plus rules files plus tests.
  • Hotseat: agent sandboxes, a group photo-book app, e-commerce automation.
