SF : AI meetup for GenAI, LLMs, and Agent

The headline session at AI Camp's first SF meetup of the week came from Chris Miller and Zayne Turner of Workato, walking through their refactor of Dewy Resort, an open source reference implementation of an enterprise MCP server. The original system naively exposed every hotel API as its own tool and ended up with 44 tools and checkout flows that took 8 to 12 LLM tool calls to complete. The rebuilt version collapses to 16 compositional tools and 2 call checkouts, with a Workato orchestration layer turning atomic operations into reliable workflows. What I valued most was their honesty about which schema descriptions LLMs actually interpret correctly and which iterations failed quietly before they got there. The A B comparison they ran on tool selection contradicted most of their starting assumptions. Jakub Sobolewski from Paradigm followed with a lightning talk on building real mental models of a large codebase in the era of coding agents, arguing that IDE navigation and chat based Q and A break down once systems get large and changes get risky. Max Majer from Nursa closed with an MCP server for push notifications that finally lets agents schedule, recur, and fire reminders, demoed across an Obsidian agent and Lovable, plus an evaluation system for FastMCP. Hosted at Workato on Illinois Street. The most useful evening of the week if you are shipping production agents and trying to keep your tool surface honest.
