AI Agents in Action: From Azure AI Foundry to Kiwi Innovation

​Join us for the July edition of the AI Engineer Meetup in Wellington — this time co-hosted with the Wellington .NET User Group!

​​We’ve got two powerful sessions lined up that cover both cutting-edge tools and real-world experience:

​​🎯 Session 1 – Building AI Agents with Azure AI Foundry
👨‍💻 Speaker: Xiaodi Yan – Microsoft MVP

​​Discover how Microsoft’s Azure AI Foundry makes building production-grade AI agents easier than ever. Xiaodi will walk us through how to define and deploy agents using the portal and SDK, and demo a multi-agent app in action.

​​🚀 Session 2 – From Idea to Launch: Building Autohive, an AI-First Platform
🎤 Speaker: John-Daniel Trask – Co-founder of Raygun & CEO of Autohive

​​John shares the behind-the-scenes journey of building Autohive — a new AI platform born out of lessons learned while adopting AI across teams. Learn what worked, what didn’t, and how they turned those insights into a brand new venture.

​​As always, there’ll be food, drinks, and great conversation.

​​Special thanks to Hnry for the venue and to Chubb & H2R for sponsoring the refreshments.

​​Whether you're building AI apps, exploring tooling, or just curious about what’s next, come connect with fellow engineers and builders in Wellington’s growing AI tech scene.
