In the demo, we showed how users can enter building details, visualize the roof, estimate PV capacity, check relevant regulations, and ask project-specific questions through the assistant.
The goal was to make PV planning more understandable and practical.
#AI#Hackathon
Recently participated in the KI-Hackathon Energie 2026 at TRAFO Hub Braunschweig.
Our team of seven worked on the AI PV Assistant challenge by Plankton PV, focused on helping people assess whether a PV system makes sense for their building.
#PV#Sustainability
Our prototype combined:
PV suitability assessment
roof and location data
technical first assessment
source-based regulatory guidance
cost estimation
interactive AI chat
PDF one-pager export
Main takeaway:
The future of AI in development is not only about better models.
It is also about choosing the right infrastructure, the right level of privacy, and the right workflow.
#AI#orclapex#Oracle#APEX#OpenSource#LowCode
Attended the Oracle APEX Braunschweig meetup at HyPlus Technology.
Ronny Weiß shared insights on APEX, key highlights from APEX 26.1, and practical AI applications within the APEX ecosystem.
This matters because AI in development should not rely only on external APIs.
Local models, private GPUs, and open-source tools give developers more control, stronger privacy, and better integration into real workflows.
Main takeaway:
AI agents become more valuable when they are connected to real workflows, real tools, and real constraints.
The future is not just better prompts.
It is better systems around the models.
#MCP#AI
Spent the evening at the Global AI Braunschweig x KOSATEC meetup in Braunschweig.
The best part: it was focused on practical AI, not abstract discussion.
Claude, MCP, n8n, AI agents, and workflows built to run, connect, and improve over time.
#n8n#AIAgents#Automation#Claude
Yulia Dmitrievna showed a self-growing data pipeline in n8n.
This was a strong example of how automation can move beyond simple task execution and become a system that keeps enriching data over time.
The pirate-themed Heide Park, thrill rides, and informal late-night events like silent disco, karaoke, and gaming night created a balance you rarely see at conferences.
It made the experience both professional and memorable.
Interacting with booths and companies gave me insight into how enterprise teams are actually using AI and Oracle technologies in real-world scenarios.
That learning feels very different from academic learning.
Just brought home 2nd Prize at HealthHack 2026 with our team CoNurse 🥈
In just 48 intense hours, we tackled Challenge: AI Learning Support, one of the biggest pain points in nursing education.
With limited teaching resources and the need for flexible, personalized learning, we built CoNurse: an AI-powered Learning Management System featuring gamification, interactive modules, and smart knowledge structuring to help nursing students and confidently.
