Agentic GenAI isn’t just about prompts. It’s about pipelines that adapt in real time. On Sept 16 in Berlin, @eschmiegelow.bsky.social explains how they built it — live on stage. → RSVP here: www.meetup.com/applydata-be...

🧠 Real-time isn’t a feature. It’s an infrastructure shift. We teamed up with RisingWave to explore what streaming really looks like — from dev floor to production stack. 🛠️ Takeaways from two live sessions in Berlin 📚 Practical blueprints, no hype Read: hivemindtechnologies.com/en/blog/risi...
