Humans discuss AI over coffee
Our first Technoverts meetup had a great turnout, so we're doing it again, this time with an optional conversation theme: **How people are actually using AI in everyday work and life**. This is not a panel or presentation, and I do not have a fixed agenda, it's just a relaxed coffee conversation for people in tech (or tech-adjacent fields) who are curious about practical AI use cases, useful tools, workflow hacks, weird experiments, and what's generally helping people right now.
*Topics might include:*
* AI tools people actually use at work
* Productivity and automation
* Prompting successes and failures
* Writing, coding, research, analytics and creative use cases
* What feels overhyped vs. genuinely useful.
No expertise is required. It's completely fine to come mostly curious, skeptical, or just interested in meeting thoughtful people in tech.
*What to expect:*
* Low pressure conversation
* A mix of tech talk and normal conversation
