Hacking Agents AI Meetup w/ Langflow — July Edition Recap

We brought the Hacking Agents community together at AWS Builder Loft in San Francisco on 07/31/2025 for fast demos, real use cases, and hands-on learning with AI agents. The highlight: how Aparavi’s Data Toolchain and MCP server connect to Langflow for natural-language workflows on unstructured data.

Speaker highlights

Mansi More (Aparavi) — Unlocking legacy archives with agentic OCR and multimodal AI, plus a live walkthrough on building a full RAG pipeline in Langflow powered by Aparavi.

Jun Liang Lee (Sampleapp.ai) — Onboarding devs to any API and SDK in 60 seconds.

Gabriela de Queiroz — Community insights and developer best practices.

Melissa Herrera — Developer Relations Engineer | Gen AI @ Langflow

We also welcomed lightning demos from rtrvr.ai, CodeFlash, Nautex AI, ScaleKit, Ockam.io, Axion Orbital, Skillsync, Tars, and Pipelex.

What attendees learned

How to ingest PDFs, images, video transcripts, and spreadsheets into Aparavi securely, then expose them to Langflow via MCP.
How to build a production-ready RAG pipeline in minutes using natural language.
Practical guardrails for working with sensitive data in AI apps.
How to move from demo to prototype: wiring connectors, chunking, embeddings, and vector search.

Aparavi × Langflow connector

We showcased a new Langflow connector to Aparavi that streamlines data access and orchestration for agent workflows. It reduces integration time, improves prompt-centric iteration, and keeps unstructured data governed and searchable.
