One Last Prompt:
a gathering for reflective AI power users
An intimate, invite-only gathering for AI power users to demo what they are thrilled they could build and collectively reflect on what it changes for their way of thinking and working.
What is One Last Prompt?
Every six to eight weeks, about thirty AI practitioners meet for an evening in Berlin. Five of them show something they could never have built without AI a couple of years ago. Then the room talks about what it changes in how they think and work.
The people in the room share an experience. They are thrilled by what AI lets them build. They are also increasingly aware of the slot machine effect: the pull to run one more prompt. The name plays on it, like one last drink or one last dance when we can't stop.
AI brings speed, and the shot of adrenaline when something ships in a day that used to take weeks. It might also cost something not quite named yet. One Last Prompt is an evening to sit with both.
What can you expect?
A curated group of peers: builders and people who lead AI adoption inside companies. They come from very different trades, with no hierarchy of expertise. The evening runs on demos, less show and tell than show and reflect.
What makes a magical demo
Magical
Priya Parker writes that a question works for a group when everyone wants to answer it and is curious to hear everyone else. She calls these magical questions. A magical demo works the same way. You're excited to show it, and the room is curious to learn from it and discuss it after.
Relatable
Everyone builds with AI, but backgrounds vary a lot, and that is the point of the room. Acronyms and tools get explained in plain words. Finding the simple words is often part of the reflection.
Show and reflect
What AI lets you do now that you couldn't have done a couple of years ago. And how it sits with you: what it makes you feel and what it changes in the way you work with others.
Five minutes, live
Four minutes of demo and one minute of reflection, then one question from the room. Demos run live on your own laptop, with a recording as a backup. The first thirty minutes of the evening are there to test the setup and to connect.
Five demos go to the whole room. Then the evening opens into smaller groups, where any demo has its place. Ping me if you'd like to demo.

In their words
"It was such a powerful moment, lots of great people that made me feel seen."
"I enjoy the variety of demos and reflections and had great reflections with peers after."
"Six months ago, I knew nothing about vibe coding and I'm now feeling thrilled to have achieved so much. Great to reflect on my journey here."
"Thanks for this small, intentional gathering. I'm done with Linkedin and the overhyped statement. Tell me what didn't work, what you learnt and how you grew in the process."
"When can we do that again? How about tomorrow?"

Curating and hosting are the method rather than the marketing. She co-hosts the Tandem dinners in Paris with Marine Buclon and runs One Last Prompt in Berlin, both small curated tables and rounds where practitioners describe what is actually happening to their work.
