TechTalk (In-Person) - November 2026

Here’s the November edition of our Tech Talk event at Super.com on November 24, 2026. Join us for some drinks, snacks, and Tech Talks. Make sure to mark your calendars, come out, and join us for this event! **🕑 Agenda & Schedule ✨** * 18:00 - Doors open * 18:20 - Intro and announcements * 18:30 - **Attention Attention Everywhere** by **[Dev Shah](https://x.com/busycaesar)** *Abstract:* In modern AI transformers, "attention is all you need"—but what does it actually compute? Demystify the mechanism step by step using real numbers. Learn why tokens split into queries, keys, and values, and verify the math against real GPT-2 weights, including why heads focus on token #1. A technical walkthrough. * 19:00 - **Create an AI agent with Vercel AI SDK** by **[Emily Xiong](https://www.linkedin.com/in/xiongemi/)** *Abstract*: In this session, I’ll share how I "vibe coded" a custom AI Code Reviewer using Next.js and the Vercel AI SDK. We will break down the core capabilities of the Vercel AI SDK, comparing its unified approach to the manual overhead of using direct LLM APIs like OpenAI or Gemini. * 19:30 - **Beyond Motion Generation** by **Karin Fam** *Abstract*: AI can now generate an animation in seconds, but generation is the easy part. The real challenge starts when motion needs to ship consistently across dozens of screens, platforms, and teams. In this talk, Karin looks at what comes after the prompt: how to think about animation as a system rather than a one-off asset, why scale and governance matter as much as creativity, and how teams can build motion workflows that stay consistent, performant, and on-brand as they grow. * 20:00 - Networking * 21:00 - Doors Close (**Note**: *All times in the schedule are an approximation.*) Please RSVP to confirm your attendance. If you have your friends or teammates joining please ask them to RSVP as well. This event is open to all skill levels. Many thanks to [Super.com](Super.com) for hosting us!

18th Toronto Meetup – Fail Closed Guardrails for AI in Payments

***18th Toronto Meetup – Fail Closed Guardrails for AI in Payments*** Can AI be trusted to make decisions in payment workflows where even a small error can have financial consequences? AI models are probabilistic, but payment systems demand precision, accountability, and auditable outcomes. As AI becomes part of financial workflows, guardrails are essential to ensure that models operate within defined boundaries and that every action remains safe and verifiable. At The Test Tribe’s 18th Toronto Meetup, Soujanya Kota will explore how guardrails can make AI safer for payment systems, using a live demonstration of a bank-to-bank funding transfer to show how controls can protect critical financial operations. ***Session - Fail Closed Guardrails for AI in Payments*** ***Speaker: Soujanya Kota, QA Leader*** Soujanya is a QA leader with 21 years of experience, including over 14 years in banking and payments. She leads quality for large payment programs and builds AI-enabled delivery models that combine Generative AI, Playwright automation, and CI/CD quality gates. With experience in global team leadership and release readiness reporting, she focuses on bringing engineering discipline, reliability, and accountability into complex financial technology environments. In this session, Soujanya will demonstrate how guardrails control what goes into an AI model, what comes out, and which actions it is allowed to take. Through a live bank-to-bank funding transfer demonstration, she will show why payment workflows need strict controls and how a fail-closed approach helps prevent unsafe or unauthorised outcomes. The session will cover: * Understanding AI Guardrails: Exploring how controls around AI models validate inputs, outputs, and actions to keep payment workflows within defined boundaries. * Grounding Every Transfer: Ensuring that every payment transfer is validated against the original payment details. * Fail-Closed Principles: Understanding why payment systems must default to blocking an action when validation or safety checks fail. * Practical Demonstration: Seeing how guardrails work in a bank-to-bank funding transfer scenario. ***Event Details*** * ***Date: 25 November 2026*** * ***Time: 06:00 PM – 08:00 PM ET*** * ***Venue: 910 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario*** ***Agenda*** * 6:00 PM – 6:15 PM: Welcome & Introductions * 6:15 PM – 7:15 PM: Speaker Session by Soujanya Kota on “Fail Closed Guardrails for AI in Payments”, including Q&A and live demo * 7:15 PM – 8:00 PM: Networking over snacks * 8:00 PM: Event Wrap Stay back to connect with fellow QA and Engineering professionals, exchange experiences, and discuss how to build reliable AI-powered workflows where security, accuracy, and accountability cannot be compromised. ***About The Test Tribe*** The Test Tribe is the world's largest software testing community, empowering testers globally since 2018.
