AI Engineering HCC | 0.1 Setup

RESERVE YOUR SPOT HERE

We’re surrounded by AI hype.
New tools every week. Big claims. “10x engineers.”
Some of it’s real. A lot of it isn’t.

The Hype Cycle Club is for people in Tauranga who want to actually build with AI—and figure out what works.
>>>
👥 Who it's for

• Software engineers
• Product builders
• Indie hackers
• Curious tinkerers

Beginner or experienced—you’re welcome if you’re interested in AI.

🪩 What happens on the night
This will be a mix of:

• Open discussion (what's useful vs hype)
• The lab: Tools, workflows, agent setup (what's working for you, what you wish existed)
• Optional lightning demos (bring along something if you want to share)
• Time to meet other builders

No slides required. No gatekeeping.
>>>
🪅 The vibe

• Casual, not corporate
• Interactive, not passive
• Builders > buzzwords

You don’t need a polished project—unfinished, half-baked ideas are encouraged.

🚀 This is our first event, come help shape it.
