Open Vibe — Build Anything with AI | VIBE-MKE Launch Night
Details
Welcome to Vibe MKE — Milwaukee's first hands-on AI builder community. Tonight we launch. 🔨
This is Open Vibe night — no theme, no constraints, no experience required. Just you, your laptop, and two hours to build something real with AI. Whatever you want to make tonight, we're here for it.
Code an app with Cursor or Replit. Generate a video with Runway or Kling. Design a brand kit with Midjourney or DALL-E. Build a voice agent with Claude, ElevenLabs or Retell. Create music with Suno or Udio. Edit a video with CapCut AI or Descript. Build a website in minutes with Lovable or v0. Generate motion graphics with Pika or Hailuo. Write and publish with ChatGPT or Notion AI. Make something weird nobody has thought of yet. Whatever you want — just build it.
How the night runs:
5:30 PM — Doors open, grab a seat, meet people
5:45 PM — Quick intro to Vibe MKE (5 minutes, then we build)
6:00 PM — Build time. 2 hours. Any AI tool you want.
8:00 PM — Demo time. 2 minutes each. Show what you made — finished or not.
8:30 PM — Wrap up, hang out, swap ideas
What to bring:
✅ A laptop
✅ Your AI tools — whatever you already use or want to try
✅ An idea
✅ Curiosity — that's the only real requirement
Who shows up:
👩💻 Developers who want to 10x with AI tools
🎨 Designers who've never written a line of code
👨🏫 Teachers building classroom tools
👔 Business owners turning ideas into prototypes
🎓 Students learning by doing
🤷 Curious people who don't know what they'll build until they get there
No lectures. No slides. No judgment. Beginners and experts sit at the same table here. Half-finished is celebrated just as loudly as shipped.
One rule we take seriously: this is a judgment-free space. The only thing that matters is showing up willing to make something.
📍 We're still finding our home! Currently exploring spaces including Franklin Public Library and a few other local spots. If you know a great free space in the Milwaukee area that welcomes a crew of builders with laptops — tell us! All RSVPs will be notified the moment the venue is confirmed.
