What we’re about

For builders, founders, devs, operators, and domain experts who are using AI to solve real problems - today, not someday.

This group is for people actively building, experimenting, migrating legacy systems, validating startup ideas, and wrestling with unsolved challenges - not just exploring AI trends.

### What We Do

  • Discuss projects: Bring what you’re working on - early concepts, stuck points, architecture questions, hallucination issues, go-to-market uncertainty.
  • Discover solutions: Crowdsource insights from peers who are also deep in the trenches, from devs to strategy-minded founders.
  • Find partners: Meet co-founders, early collaborators, or domain experts who complement your skillset.

### Why This Group Is Different

Most AI meetups focus on presentations, finished demos, or broad “state of AI” discussions.
This group is about the messy middle - the place where ideas are forming, legacy systems need modernizing, accuracy matters, and strategy is still being shaped.

No slides. No lectures. Just real builders working through what’s next.
