AI, workshops, the future ...
Dear Subscribers,
It has been an intense time at Xemantic, with lots of software releases, meetings and preparations.
Whenever I am speaking with someone about AI these days, even experienced programmers and IT specialists, they remain sceptical regarding current state of the technology and possibilities it opens, until I show them my AI agents in action ...
If you want to research some meta-background of what's happening in the world at the moment, I can recommend probably the most important philosophical essay published recently - Machines of Loving Grace by Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic.
AI Workshops at Prachtsaal
Our Agentic AI & Creative Coding workshops are rolling. There are still spots left. I hope to see you at Prachtsaal (our non-profit art cooperative) tomorrow, and the week after, and the week after ... (every Tuesday in March)
Please share this workshop announcement!
Our new Meetup group
We have a new Meetup group called AI x Prachtsaal. It will make all our AI-related events visible to the broader community. Next to the workshops we would like to also host hackathons and discussions, on the intersection of AI, society and arts.
If you are on Meetup, please join the group, and mark your attendance on respective events, so that together we can create even more momentum.
Kotlin User Group Berlin meeting episode 2/2025
On the 25th of February we had a pleasure of hosting Kotlin User Group Berlin meeting at Prachtsaal.
As a host I talked a bit about Agentic AI in Kotlin - here is the presentation.
During the second talk Maia Grotepass took us on a unique journey, where Kotlin Notebooks became a vehicle of storytelling and creation, with hand-drawn sketches intertwined with the emergent forest of L-System trees ... fascinating experience on the intersection of computer code, mathematics and creativity.
Xemantic software updates
anthropic-sdk-kotlin
As soon as Claude Sonnet 3.7 was released by Anthropic, I updated our SDK to support it. Now it allows to build even more intelligent Agents thanks to the "thinking" model.

claudine
Claudine can browse the Internet now! In other words it is combining the features of OpenAI's Deep research and Devin (an automated software engineer), which allows to automate scientific research. And all of this out of a tiny, open source, educational application.
Give Claudine a try, if you still haven't:
GitHub - xemantic/claudine: Claudine, the only AI assistant you will ever need. An AI agent, which is using your machine as a window to external world, therefore perceiving your reality, values and needs, and reasoning how to fulfill them.

Exciting month ahead of us, full of workshops, giving me thrills for all the thoughts and experiences we are going to exchange at Prachtsaal, and at organizations who booked my time to share the knowledge with them.
Hugs 💜, Kazik
