Mindstone Cambridge September AI Meetup
Welcome to the biggest Practical AI Meetup in Cambridge! This month we’re teaming up with ACCU Cambridge for a special joint edition, adding a C++ twist.
Join us once a month as we explore the world of artificial intelligence, its cutting-edge practical applications, and the astonishing projects that are shaping our future.
Why should you attend?
- Get up close and personal with the AI projects that are redefining the boundaries of technology and human potential.
- Productivity Superpowers for Engineers - A hands-on demo showing how AI tools can accelerate debugging, development, and optimization in C++ workflows
- Learn from the brightest minds in the field and gain valuable insights into the ever-evolving AI landscape.
- Unleash your curiosity, fuel your creativity, and expand your network as you connect with fellow AI aficionados and pioneers.
What you can expect?
Three talks covering different aspects of AI (with extra C++ essence this month):
- What I Learned Building With LLMs: A technical talk breaking down the process for building a product using AI with real-life learnings and insights.
- Productivity Superpowers for Engineers: A hands-on demo showing how AI tools can accelerate debugging, development, and optimization in C++ workflows.
- The Future of C++ and AI: A forward-looking discussion on how AI will change the role of C++ in system design, performance-critical applications, and developer productivity.
After the talks we'll have pizza, drinks, and time to connect with everyone around you.
Don't miss the opportunity to see what's really happening in AI - you'll be surprised at what's already possible today.
We have limited spots available, so get your ticket ahead of time to avoid disappointment!

Introduction
Welcome and event introduction
Building an MCP debugger - the good, the bad and the weird by Mark Williamson
At Undo we've been building Agentic Debugging by connecting an AI Coding Agent to a time travel debugger. This gives the AI the ability to understand your code and help you solve your bugs - and even solve them for you! I'll cover what MCP (the Model Context Protocol) is and what we learned building with it, finishing up with a demo of what we've made so far.
Ramping up UI Testing for the AI Age
When creating web applications, how can you leverage AI to write your UI tests and have confidence that the features you ship are robust? We’ll explore how to use graph databases and careful context-engineering to test front-end applications effectively. We’ll be showcasing an early version of TestNexus.ai to create Playwright test-code that evolves with your application code.
