The Meetup #4 will take place on 25 August 2026 at Tessl AI Limited in London.
Thank you everyone for joining us at the last event with Emma and Zack! It was such a great event and super engaging with an awesome crowd as always. Now we move onto the 4th meet up of the year hosted by the wonderful team at Tessl! Grab an RSVP when you can as we have limited space available!

**🎤 Macey Baker \| Agent Enablement @ Tessl**
**🗣️ Dimming the Lights**
Lessons from the front lines of transforming our enterprise SDLC into a dark factory. We'll talk about quick wins, surprising sticking points, the unsolved problems of orchestration and validation, and controlled experiments and challenges that you can try with your team.
**Bio**
As Tessl's Founding Agent Enablement Engineer, Macey Baker is busy helping to build the future of AI-native development (and helping you build it too). Now an AI code generation obsessive, she got her start as an early employee at tech unicorn Intercom in San Francisco, before jumping the pond and roaming the London startup scene, working primarily in big data / ML houses. Some of her best friends are LLMs.

**🎤 Sahil Grover \| Solutions Architect** **@ Databricks**
**🗣️ What even is a meta-harness, and why has Databricks just open-sourced one?**
Databricks keeps open-sourcing ambitious things and seeing what sticks. Spark stuck. Dolly didn't. Delta Sharing did. In June 2026 they added Omnigent, a "meta-harness" that sits above Claude Code, Codex, and friends. So did Vercel. So did five other people. The whole category is six months old.
This talk walks through what a meta-harness is, why everyone in the AI space built one in the same month, how Omnigent compares to the alternatives. And, honestly, whether any of them will still exist by next year.
**Bio**
Sahil Grover is a Solutions Architect at Databricks and a mathematician who traded proofs for prompts. He got his start building AI at the centre of government, working with No.10 in the first wave of the AI boom, and now spends his days helping the UK public sector build real things with AI agents at a pace government isn't used to.
As always we kick things off with some pizza, drinks and networking around 6pm. We will then start the talks at 6.30pm sharp, please arrive on time!
See you then :D
