About the meet-up

Open Source AI (OSAI) brings together engineers, developers, and AI enthusiasts to explore how open-source tools are reshaping the software development lifecycle (SDLC) - from design and testing to deployment and monitoring.

The Hyderabad edition dives into real-world use cases, demos, and discussions that show how AI can democratize access, accelerate workflows, and empower every role on your team — not just developers.

Whether you’re building AI features, managing teams, or experimenting with new tools, this meet-up is where open collaboration meets practical innovation.


👥 Who should attend

If you work in or around software, this meet-up has something for you:

  • Developers & data engineers: Build faster, smarter pipelines with AI tools.
  • QA engineers: Discover intelligent testing and AI-driven validation.
  • DevOps & SREs: Learn about AIOps and automated incident response.
  • Product Managers & analysts: See how AI enhances planning, prioritization, and analysis.
  • Architects & tech leads: Understand design implications and best practices for AI integration.
  • Researchers & open source contributors: Connect with practitioners solving real-world AI challenges.

💡 What to expect

This isn’t theory — it’s hands-on learning and real insights from practitioners.

Here’s a taste of what’s on the schedule:

🤖 AI-first software delivery: superpowers, adoption challenges, and the path to software 3.0
From copilots to co-creators - how AI is transforming every stage of the software value chain, from design to deployment. Learn how to build for Software 3.0, measure what truly matters (beyond story points), and embed AI safely and effectively in your delivery flow.

🧠 Memory is the moat: designing AI Agents that remember, retrieve, and reason
How memory makes or breaks AI reliability — with production-ready design patterns.

🛡️ Comprehensive code security: beyond traditional rules
From rule-based checks to AI-driven reachability - Flyingduck Labs redefines how developers detect, prioritize, and fix vulnerabilities.
All-in-one security: SAST + SCA + SBOM + secrets + logic flaw detection - context-aware, integrated, and developer-first.

🏗️ Spec Driven Development (SDD): AI builds from your specs
Build an entire system from a spec — a live demo that redefines AI-assisted development.

⚙️ DSPy: building scalable, production-ready LLM applications
Learn how DSPy brings structure, observability, and scalability to LLM workflows.

🧩 SchemaForge: AI-driven data workflows made easy
From schema inference to deployment — see how AI becomes a true co-developer.

…and more on agentic AI, self-updating knowledge bases, and open-source frameworks shaping modern development.

👥 Featuring practitioners from:
Gramener, Flyingduck Labs, TechConative, EPAM, KnackLabs, Sahaj Software, and Thoughtworks
