Tech Events at tcube coworking, Dublin

with Ross Mulcahy (Engineering Lead, Automattic) · James Osborne (Support team lead, Site Kit plugin, Site Kit by Google)

Two talks on keeping a website useful as AI agents start doing the browsing. Ross Mulcahy, Engineering Lead at Automattic, opens with what AI agents mean for WordPress architecture: HTML, REST APIs, the Abilities API and MCP, and how a site gets found, read and acted on by software. James Osborne, support team lead for the Site Kit by Google plugin, follows with its newer monetisation and engagement features, including newsletter sign-ups, paywalls and contribution requests, plus a preview of what's next. Dublin WordPress Meetup Group runs it at tcube coworking on O'Connell Street Lower, with Q&A after each talk and open discussion at the end. Free, all levels welcome. Why go: a practical take on agent-readable websites from inside Automattic. Best for web developers, agency teams and anyone running a WordPress site that earns money.

An afternoon on AI, Atlassian Rovo and changing ways of working, run by the Dublin Atlassian Community for around 120 technology professionals. Main-stage talks and demos run alongside two smaller hands-on AI workshops, with parallel session rounds, breaks for networking, and pizza and drinks at the end. Free, capacity limited, RSVP via the organiser's LinkedIn event page. Speaker lineup not yet announced.

An evening on WordPress's new AI layer at tcube coworking on O'Connell Street, and the first Dublin WordPress meetup in some time. The talk covers the Abilities API, AI Client, Connectors and MCP: how WordPress now talks to AI models and agents, with worked examples of what developers can build on top. Attendees include people from CommerceGurus and from Google's Site Kit plugin, so the room is agencies and plugin developers, though the organisers are explicit that newcomers are welcome too. Questions at the end, open discussion afterwards, and the organisers are collecting suggestions for the next session. 19:00, free. Why go: WordPress shipping an MCP surface changes what anyone building on it can automate, and this is the only Dublin room discussing it. Best for WordPress developers and agencies deciding what to build against the new APIs.

The Dublin Atlassian community on cutting delivery overhead — where AI genuinely removes work in test management and customer experience tooling, and where it just adds another dashboard.
