About

Teams everywhere are experimenting with AI agents but the moment you try to move beyond a prototype, the same problems hit:

No identity model
No control or governance
Hard-coded access
Zero visibility
MCP servers that are hard to productionise

This meetup brings together the people in Sydney pushing into this space. Short, sharp conversations about what's breaking, what's working, and what needs to exist next.
