Agents in Open Source: Bengaluru's Agentic AI Community
Agents in Open Source: Bengaluru's Agentic AI Community
Agentic AI is moving quickly from experiments to real systems—and open source is becoming a big part of that journey.
But building agents that actually work in the real world is a different challenge. How do we connect agents to tools and data? How do we make them reliable, observable, secure, and useful? And what can we learn from people already building and operating these systems?
AAIF Bengaluru is bringing together developers, builders, researchers, and AI enthusiasts for an afternoon of practical talks, open discussions, and community networking around Open Source, AI Agents, and Agentic AI.
What we'll explore
We'll hear from practitioners building with agentic AI and open source, covering topics such as:
Building and running AI agents with open-source tools
Agent architectures and real-world use cases
Tool use, MCP, and connecting agents to real systems
Evaluation, reliability, and observability
Lessons from building agentic AI in production
The evolving open-source agent ecosystem
This is a community-first, technical meetup. Come to learn, share what you're building, meet other practitioners, or simply understand where agentic AI is heading.

Who should attend?
This meetup is for:
Developers and engineers building AI/LLM applications
Engineers exploring AI agents and agentic systems
Open-source contributors and maintainers
ML/AI engineers and researchers
Platform, DevOps, and SRE engineers working with AI systems
Founders and technical leaders exploring agentic AI
Anyone curious about building practical AI agents
You don't need to be an AI expert. If you're building, experimenting, or trying to understand what's happening in the agentic AI space, you're welcome.
Come build in the open
This is more than a series of talks. We want to build a community where people can share what worked, what failed, and what they're learning while building agentic AI.
Bring your questions, ideas, projects, and experiences.
Let's learn from each other and build the next generation of agentic AI in the open.
About AAIF Bengaluru
The Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) is a community dedicated to advancing the understanding and practical application of agentic AI. We bring together engineers, researchers, founders, builders, and AI enthusiasts to explore how autonomous AI systems are designed, evaluated, and deployed.
AAIF Bengaluru is a local chapter bringing this community together through meetups, workshops, reading groups, and open discussions.
