About us
What started as casual meetups over coffee has evolved into a space where real things get made. We run hands-on events — demos, mini hackathons, and build nights — focused on the AI tools and technologies shaping how software is built today. Whether you're writing your first line of code or shipping production apps, you'll find your people here.
Our events are designed to help you:
- Get hands-on with the latest AI tools and dev tech through live demos and build sessions
- Collaborate and problem-solve with a community that shows up and builds together
- Share what you're working on, get feedback, and celebrate progress
We also spotlight our Verified Builders — community members who are actively building and shipping. Meet the builders →
Come for the coffee. Stay for what you build.

🏆 One winner gets a free coffee ☕ and eternal glory as Bug Hunt Champion : Rules below 👇
• A bug counts only if it’s repeatable, and you can describe the steps to reproduce it.
• It must be found and reported during the Bug Hunt on Sunday 15 Nov (2:30 to 3:00pm). Bugs found earlier don’t count for the prize, though early feedback is still very welcome.
• If two people find the same bug, the first report gets the credit.
• The winner is picked on the day🎧 Bring
• Your laptop
• A headset with a microphone: it’s a busy café, and the voice session won’t work well without oneNot into testing? No problem. Come for the coffee and the connections.
Please note
• NeonContext is an early-beta voice AI coach, not a therapist, and it doesn’t give medical advice.
• Your audio isn’t recorded.☕ This event is hosted at a local café, so we kindly ask that you support the venue by purchasing a drink or snack if you can.
