Origin: marathi - मित्र मंडळ (mitra maṇḍaḷ), "circle of friends."
- A collective of builders, researchers, and tinkerers sharing real-world AI workflows.
- A space where applied AI meets fine-tuning craft and tooling experiments.
"Episode 4 in Pune brought builders together to share real-world AI workflows - load balancing, agent security, and more."
What is mitramandal?
Mitramandal is an AI meetup where engineers share how they've actually integrated AI into their daily development workflows. Every developer is solving applied AI differently: some are orchestrating agentic pipelines across MCPs, others are wiring real-time RAG loops into Cursor or Claude, and more are operationalizing multimodal copilots inside CI/CD. We've seen fine-tuning flywheels, retrieval sandboxes, and autonomous evaluation harnesses that ship to prod every week.
Martin Fowler nailed it recently: "we are still figuring out how to use LLMs... what I suggest is that people experiment with them... and do share the experiences."
What you'll see
- agent orchestration, RAG implementations, and tool integrations
- real-world case studies from production implementations
- deep dives into fine-tuning strategies, evaluation methods, and model optimization
- discussions on observability, guardrails, and scaling AI systems in production
Our focus
This meetup is for AI engineers, LLMOps engineers, and developers working at the intersection of applied AI and traditional software engineering. We're talking about the application of AI and how AI is being integrated into real engineering workflows.
