The great Kiwi AI uprising - Agentics Foundation NZ chapter launch

The great Kiwi AI uprising kicked off in Wellington - agentic engineering, with more flat whites than robots.
Key takeaway NZ's agentic-dev crowd now has a front door.
The inaugural Wellington event of the Agentics Foundation's New Zealand chapter - a launch focused on agentic engineering and AI-powered software development, and a first gathering point for the local agentic-dev community.
Beyond the talks, the significance is organisational: a named home for people building with AI agents in NZ. For Aotearoa, a formal chapter means a front door, a network and a regular cadence for a scene that until now has been scattered across Discords and one-off meetups.
