**Friday is our open co-working day.** ​People come to work on their own projects, take breaks together, and usually stay through the afternoon. It’s quiet, focused, and builder- and founder-led. ​You can arrive anytime from 10AM. Most people show up after lunch and settle in before 1.30pm. Bring your laptop. Grab any open seat. Stay as long as you like. ​At 1.30pm, we pause work briefly for a shared session called The Stage, then everyone goes back to working. ​This is how Fridays here work. **The Stage @ 1.30PM** *The Stage is a short, open-format session where builders and founders share something they are actively working on. A workflow, a technical breakdown, a lesson learned, or just a topic keeping him/her up at night.* *The goal is to spark ideas you can try immediately after, during the same afternoon. After the session ends, most people simply open their laptops again and continue working.* *Interested to speak? Express interest here: [form here](https://sq-collective.notion.site/2a1aae2f95ae80e38156eaecfc9eb885?pvs=105)* ​ **​Topic: Lessons from Building AI Agents** **​Zhu Liang ·** Founder, AI Simulator [https://www.linkedin.com/in/zhu-liang/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/zhu-liang/) ​Ex-Grab and Ant Group. Now building AI agents and mobile games. He actually ships things. ​He's spent the last six months heads-down, figuring out what works (and what *really* doesn't) when building AI agents. He's gonna share the gritty, practical stuff you can use right away. Get ready to take notes. ​After the session, we go back to work.

Starliner is a longtime favorite in Hilliard. Please RSVP early AND Please let me know in the comments if you plan to join us after at the diner so I can have accurate numbers for the reservations. **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow.

If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
