Sphinx-Needs User Group Meeting (Spring 2026)

We’re excited to invite you to the Spring 2026 Sphinx-Needs User Group Meeting, hosted by useblocks.

This event is part of our ongoing user group series and is designed for the Sphinx-Needs community and anyone interested in structured, traceable engineering workflows. We will share updates, discuss roadmap priorities, and exchange practical experience from real-world projects.

This edition includes a special technical focus:

This spring, we’re collaborating with Georg Doll (CTO, Microsoft Automotive) to explore a highly practical question:

How can we accelerate safety-critical development using AI while remaining safe, deterministic, and fully traceable?

Modern engineering teams are under pressure to move faster. At the same time, safety-critical environments demand traceability, reviewability, and strict compliance.

To keep things concrete and technical, this will not be a talk-heavy session. The core of the event will run as a structured hackathon.

✅ Bring your laptop.
✅ Build and test workflows together.
✅ Discuss what works (and what does not) under strict safety-critical constraints.

Part 1: Sphinx-Needs Updates and Roadmap

• Community updates and what’s new since the last meeting
• Roadmap direction and priorities (including learnings from feature voting)
• Q&A and discussion

Part 2: AI Hackathon for Safety-Critical Workflows (with Microsoft )

• Short technical framing by the hosts
• Hands-on hackathon session (major part of the meeting)
• Group discussion: findings, pitfalls, and best practices

• Sphinx-Needs users (existing and new)
• Software engineers working in regulated / safety-critical domains
• Safety and systems engineers (ASIL / SIL)
• Toolchain and platform engineers
• Technical leads evaluating AI adoption in strict workflows

The session will be technical and interactive.

Seats are limited to keep the hackathon productive and hands-on.

Register now to reserve your spot.
Final details and the detailed agenda will be shared soon
