Demos 🥽
As a reminder to the community, AI Tinkerers is not a pitch forum or a demo day. There are plenty of other meetups well suited to that. AI Tinkerers is akin to the Homebrew Computer Club of today’s technology. We want your messy side projects, works-in-progress, and experiments that are on the cutting edge.
Demos are capped at 5 minutes. No pitches! We’re eager to see your raw and exciting WIPs! 🛠️
Best code walk-through / demo of the night will win a pair of Meta Raybans. No pitches!
