What we’re about
AI Cowboys – Fort Worth’s frontier outpost for anyone who wants to ride the AI wave instead of getting trampled by it.
We’re a tight-knit posse of founders, engineers, creatives, students, and the plain curious who meet in the Stockyards, downtown lofts, and coworking saloons to swap tactics, test tools, and grill experts under the Texas stars.
What we do
• Ask-Me-Anything roundups – bring your gnarliest prompt, bug, or business case and let the crowd help you lasso an answer.
• Tactical workshops – hands-on labs on fine-tuning open-source models, running local LLMs on a laptop, automating workflows, and building AI agents that actually ship.
• Expert campfires – fireside chats with visiting AI researchers, startup CTOs, and policy wranglers who’ve been in the saddle longer than most.
• Lightning demos – 5-minute show-and-tell slots so you can brag about what you just built or broke.
• Cowork & code – Saturday morning “range days” where we sit side-by-side and code or prompt our way through side projects.
Who should join
Bootstrappers who need AI on a budget, devs who want to go beyond “hello world” with transformers, product managers hunting use-cases, teachers, artists, and policy folks who want to separate hype from horsepower.
Ground rules
Curiosity beats credentials. No vendor pitches longer than a longhorn’s horn. Help the next cowboy up.
Saddle up, bring your laptop, and let’s ride the AI frontier—Fort Worth style.
