About us
3rd Space Bucharest is for ambitious professionals, entrepreneurs, creators, and expats who want deeper connections beyond surface-level networking.
Each social event is curated and designed to help professionals connect in real life without the awkwardness of traditional networking.
The host and Texas expat, Eric Melchor, creates environments where conversations feel natural and relationships form organically.
While traditional networking events prioritize scale and transactions, 3rd Space Bucharest
prioritizes depth and connection. Gatherings are intentionally small to ensure everyone participates and connects.

3rd Space Bucharest AI Circle
A46, Aleea Alexandru 46, Bucharest, RO# 3rd Space AI Circle
### Stop collecting prompts. Start building AI that actually works.
Most people are "using AI."
They ask ChatGPT random questions.
Try tools they saw on LinkedIn.
Save prompts they'll never use again.It feels productive.
But almost nothing changes.
Meanwhile, someone else is quietly learning how to use AI better.
They finish work faster.
Automate repetitive tasks.
Think more strategically.The gap isn't happening overnight.
It grows a little every week.This circle is designed to make sure you're on the right side of that gap.
***
## What it is
A 5-week AI lab for professionals, founders, and creators who already use AI—but want to become genuinely good at it.
This isn't another AI course.
It's a small group that meets to build real workflows together.
By the end, you'll have 1–3 AI systems running inside your actual work, saving you time every week.
Less theory.
More building.***
## What you're really joining
You're not paying for AI lessons.
You're joining a room of ambitious people who are figuring this out together.You'll get:
- Practical AI workflows you can use immediately
- Feedback from an experienced AI transformation leader
- Ideas borrowed from how other members use AI
- Accountability to actually implement what you learn
- A community that continues long after the program ends
The goal isn't learning AI.
It's upgrading the way you work.Learn more and apply at luma.com/3rdSpaceAICircle

## Meet your AI Guide
The lab is led by Ana Toniuc, Head of AI & Digital Transformation and founder of MindoEdu.
She's spent years helping companies redesign the way they work through AI, automation, and digital transformation.
Her philosophy is simple:> Learning AI shouldn't end with inspiration.
> You should leave with workflows that save you time next Monday.

## The 5 Weeks - (Sep 14th - Oct 12th)
(hosted by Eric Melchor from 3rdSpaceBucharest)
Week 1 — Kickoff (In Person)
Meet the group, identify your biggest opportunities, and learn the foundations of AI workflows and agents.Week 2 — Workflow Reviews (Online)
Members share what they're building.
The group improves it together.
Real work. Live feedback.Week 3 — Padel & Prosecco
No presentations.
Just great conversations while playing padel.
Because strong communities aren't built on Zoom.Week 4 — Build & Improve (Online)
Share what you've implemented.
Fix what's broken.
Keep improving.Week 5 — Demo Night (In Person)
Show your before-and-after workflows.
Celebrate your progress.
Leave with better systems—and better people in your network.***
## Is it worth it?
If AI saves you even 1–3 hours each week, the investment pays for itself.
But the bigger return comes from the people you'll meet and the habits you'll build.
Most people will spend the next year watching AI videos.
A much smaller group will quietly automate their work, create leverage, and stay ahead.
This circle is for that second group.
***
## Pricing
€319 Early Bird (before August 22)
€400 Standard
15 spots • Approval required***
## Who it's for
Entrepreneurs, founders, marketers, creatives, and professionals who already use ChatGPT or Claude—but want AI to become part of how they work every day.
If you're already building production AI agents and complex API automations, this cohort will likely be too introductory.
***
### One last thought
The best time to build AI habits was six months ago.
The second-best time is now.Every month you wait, someone else gets a little faster, a little better, and a little harder to compete with.
That's how small advantages become big ones.
