📣 November AUG: Using AI Safely with Meredydd, an IndexedDB wrapper, and more! (November 4th)

Hello everyone!

The Anvil User group is returning with a slightly different timing from here on out. To accommodate for this, here comes not the October Anvil User Group, but the November Anvil User Group!

We have two very special talks scheduled this month! First, Meredydd will be giving us a talk on using AI securely within Anvil. Then, Divyesh Lakhotia will be showing us a special library of his making that extends the storage capabilities of Anvil apps. Very exciting!

Next Meeting

When: 2026-11-04T16:00:00Z

(That’s 4pm in the UK, 8.30pm in India, 8am in California, 11am on the East Coast, and 11PM in East Asia)

Where: Google Meet – Sign up here to get the meeting link (or the recording if you can’t make it)

This month’s talk:

  • Using AI Safely with Meredydd
    You want to build with AI, but you don’t want your agent running wild over your production code, database and secrets. Meredydd will talk about how to best use Anvil’s built-in sandboxing to make sure your agentic coding is safe by default.

  • Divyesh’s IndexedDB wrapper
    Divyesh’s latest piece of work is a wrapper around IndexedDB, allowing you to access it through an API similar to Anvil tables. It also lets you store Anvil rows exactly as they are, with full support for media, datetime objects, and linked rows. Neat!

Have something to present?

Have you done something cool with Anvil that you’d like to share? Do you have some tips and tricks that would help other Anvil users? The community would love to hear from you!

Please drop us a line at contact@anvil.works and let us know what you’d like to speak about. We’ve got slots for more in-depth presentations (up to 20 minutes) and shorter (5-10 minutes), so don’t be shy!

Hi folks,

This is next week – go sign up at aug-registration.anvil.app!

Using AI agents safely, without letting them maraud across production data and secrets, is a big topic of discussion right now. We want the power, but we want to contain the risk, and I’m very excited about the tools we’re building to keep our agents on a leash while giving them enough power to test what they’ve built.

Come join us and learn how to drive these things safely!

Just received the invite which is great, but I don’t think it’s very good sending it out with everybody’s email address visible to everyone, perhaps consider using bcc in future?

That was entirely my fault and, rest assured, not how we usually proceed. Sorry!

Hello everyone! Quick reminder: this is tomorrow! If you have not signed up yet, please do so at aug-registration.anvil.app and the meeting link will be sent to you. See you tomorrow!

Thanks so much, everyone - that was a great meeting!

The video will be sent out in the next day or two, so if you missed the call you can get it if you sign up quick at aug-registration.anvil.app !

Particular thanks to @divyeshlakhotia, whose IndexedDB library I can’t wait to see in the Show & Tell forum, and to Vitalijs for delighting us with yabanana.com.

See you next month for …checks notes… the last User Group meeting of 2026 :astonished:
