Register above to join us for an evening of kick-ass demos and networking with other active builders. This is an event you do not want to miss.

Who is this for?

We are AI tinkerers — highly technical, active builders coming together to share our technical innovations, explorations and learnings.

Our gatherings are not suitable for those looking to enter the field, individuals seeking to market their services like SaaS sales, consulting or recruiting, angel investors aiming to connect with prospective founders, or professionals looking for early stage clients, etc.

If you’re deeply passionate about building with artificial intelligence, and are eager to connect with like-minded individuals who share your level of commitment, RSVP at the top of the page ☝️☝️☝️ - space is limited.

🎤 Want to give a demo?

Meet like-minded people, start conversations, and maybe find someone to build the future with… by presenting your messy work in progress!

We’re looking for unpolished, code-running demos only. No pitches. No slides. No value props. No market opportunity stuff. Share a relevant and interesting technical challenge or research innovation. Five minutes.

👑 Sponsors

Our venue is provided by the extraordinary Google for Startups team, who have some exciting perks to offer attendees during the event.

This event is sponsored by Weights & Biases Weave. When you’re ready to take your tinkering to production, you’ll need reliable logging and tracing, Weave will get you there with 3 lines of code, and you’ll get a beautiful dashboard you can share with even the non technical folks! Plus, once you’re ready to upgrade to o1 or gpt-next, Weave offers a robust LLM evaluation pipeline so you’ll always know which LLM works best for your use-case.

The event is also sponsored by the Seattle Open Interpreter project.
