What is AI Tinkerers?

AI Tinkerers is a meetup designed exclusively for practitioners who possess technical, machine learning, and entrepreneurial backgrounds and are actively building and working with foundation models, such as large language models (LLMs) and generative AI. If youโ€™re deeply passionate about creating LLM-enabled applications, have hands-on experience in building such systems, and are eager to connect with like-minded individuals who share your level of commitment, then this group is the perfect fit for you. With AI Tinkerers meetups taking place in multiple cities, we cater to a dedicated community of practitioners.

Who is this for?

Weโ€™re not โ€œAI Enthusiastsโ€, we are AI Tinkerers. The core essence of AI Tinkerers lies in active collaboration surrounding early-stage discovery and innovation, which requires a high degree of experimentation, vulnerability, openness to sharing challenges and learnings, and collaboration among individuals with a shared level of expertise. This unique environment allows us to push the boundaries of whatโ€™s possible with AI and LLMs while maintaining a strong sense of camaraderie and mutual support.

๐Ÿ’ป Event Format

  • Doors open at 5:00 pm
  • Demos at 6:00 pm
  • Networking
  • Doors close at 8:00 pm

There will be drinks and appetizers served, courtesy of our sponsors.

Text: CO MOTION Labs people | indoor | presentation, audience, presenter | candid Note: The image is a real-life captured image of a presentation, depicting people and a setting. This makes it a photograph.

๐Ÿค– Agenda

Community demos!

(Banner) A banner advertising "Five Minute Demos" flanked by emojis of praying hands and fire. Text: FIVE MINUTE DEMOS bold, informal | Colors: #2e2eff, #f29f05, #f0b000, #f7d708, #2973b8 Note: The image presents a short, catchy phrase in large letters, typical of a banner advertisement. The inclusion of emojis suggests a more informal, online context.

Please submit your demo proposal here if youโ€™re interested in presenting.

Pitch decks are strongly discouraged forbidden - we want to see your messy WIP! Note, as capacity is limited, weโ€™ll be prioritizing those that can demo something.
