Agentics NZ - AI Hackerspace April 2026 (Recording)
Join Chris Barlow, Carl Meyer, Manish Chhetri, Marcus Rodger, Dr. Paul Duignan and the Agentics New Zealand community for this session featuring entrepreneurial mindset for technical builders, AI-enabled test automation, spatial approaches to semantic vectors, and outcomes-based planning reinvented with AI.
🔬 In this session:
- Carl Meyer's hard-won lessons from running Bio Gold while living in Claude Code daily, bridging the gap between technical builders and business decision-makers
- Building digital twins of yourself: Carl's approach using Andrej Karpathy's wiki framework, recency-weighted memory, and beach-walk voice notes to capture deep values and frameworks
- Manish Chhetri's AI-enabled test automation framework with deterministic execution layer, a natural language to metadata pipeline that keeps governance and code compliance intact
- Production-grade testing across web, mobile, and API from a single framework, already deployed across multiple client engagements with 159+ extensible action libraries
- Marcus Rodger's PostGIS-powered semantic vector compression, applying decades of GIS solutions to agent memory, with sub-millisecond nearest neighbour calculations for real-time classification
- Dr. Paul Duignan's DoView Boards: AI-generated outcomes models that answer 17 critical planning questions, replacing scattered strategic documentation with a single source of truth
- Chris demos a knowledge graph view stitching together Paul's DoView models across New Zealand government agencies, from DPMC to MSD to Department of Conservation
