Coffeehouse by Ode with Anthropic

Ode is putting on our next Coffeehouse, and this time we're doing it 58 floors up. Expect (almost) 360° views from the top of Salesforce Tower to go with the demos. Ode's Coffeehouse events are for practitioners. They're very real, engineer-to-engineer; a semi-formal gathering about real engineering solutions with real questions, not necessarily tidy talks or pitches. This edition will feature a demo by Rob Mee from Mechanical Orchard (formerly Pivotal Labs), a showcase of an Ode project, and a panel with folks from Anthropic and Ode. You'll be able to grab light bites and great coffee (with decaf options) while we dive into the nitty-gritty of applied gen AI, share debugging disasters, and maybe solve each other's thorniest problems. It's going to be a great group, so come ready to get your hands dirty in conversation. A few practical notes: this event is invite-only with a hard capacity and no +1's, so RSVPs are confirmed by name — you'll check in at the lobby and we'll get you up the elevator. Doors open at 5:30 PM and close at 6:00 PM. We love recruiters but please none at this event to keep it engineer-focused! Thank you.
