About us
A hands-on meetup for anyone building with AI. Whether you're running local models, configuring AI agents, experimenting with open source LLMs, building MCP integrations, or just figuring out what's possible with tools like OpenClaw, Ollama, LM Studio, and Claude, this is where you come to learn and share.
We cover the stuff that's actually moving right now. Autonomous agents, local inference, prompt engineering, RAG pipelines, voice AI, computer use, API integrations, and whatever dropped this week that's worth your attention.
Hosted by Ross Hoffman, founder of Build Systems (https://buildsystems.dev), a strategic advisory and custom systems firm in Scottsdale. Ross has been building with AI since 2016 across drones, robotics, data pipelines, and full-stack applications. He shares what he's working on and what's actually worth paying attention to.
Every session is on Zoom. Demos, walkthroughs, tool comparisons, and open discussion. All levels welcome.
If you're building with AI or want to start, this is your room.
