If you've tried reading anything about AI in the last year, you've hit a wall of vocabulary — tokens, RAG, MCP, context windows, agents, hallucination. Most of it gets defined in 200-word blog posts you skim and forget.
Tonight we do it differently.

10 essential AI terms. Each defined in plain English, then shown live. No jargon walls — just a screen and the actual tools running.

The 10 terms:

  1. Token / Tokenization
  2. LLM
  3. Context Window
  4. RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
  5. System vs User Prompt
  6. Tool Use
  7. MCP (Model Context Protocol)
  8. Agent
  9. Temperature
  10. Hallucination
  • Format: ~60 min — opening, 10 quick demos, Q&A, wrap.
  • Audience: mixed-skill. Beginners welcome. Technical folks still get value from seeing the demos run.
  • Cost: free.
  • Bring: yourself.
    Optional but recommended: a laptop with claude.ai signed in (free tier works) — you'll get more out of the night if you can follow along live.

This is the first event for Build with AI — a community for people building with AI tools, not just talking about them. Future events will go deeper on individual terms (RAG night, MCP night, agent-building night).
No recording. No vendor pitches. No hype. Just demos and conversation.

See you.
