AI Builder Demo Day: MakerSquare Cohort 1

# MakerSquare Demo Night — Cohort 1

Two weeks. Zero engineering background. Live AI demos.

Not slide decks. Not prototypes. Real AI tools, built in two weeks, demoed live by the people who built them.

Cohort 1 came to MakerSquare with real problems from their actual work — and spent two weeks building AI tools and agents to solve them. On Demo Night, they present what they made to the Austin community.

Who should come

- Austin founders and operators
- Business leaders curious about what AI actually looks like inside a real workflow
- Anyone who's thought about joining a future MakerSquare cohort and wants to see it in action first

What you'll see

- A fireside conversation with the builders: what surprised them, what broke, what they'd tell themselves two weeks ago
- Open Q&A and hands-on demos during networking
- Real conversation with Austin's builder community
