Curated. Technical. No fluff.

The global community for hands‑on AI builders.

Curated rooms for people building with AI. Bring working code, share what broke, and test your ideas with builders who understand the work. Find collaborators, build on others’ breakthroughs, and connect to a global network that can help take your ideas to the world.

No slides. Demo the thing.

We focus on demos, code, and technical insight. No sales pitches, no generic AI panels. Working systems set the agenda.

Innovate. Share what broke.

Bring side projects, unfinished systems, architecture notes, trade-offs, and failure modes. The room is built for candid technical work.

Local rooms. Global signal.

Each city protects the room locally while contributing to a shared global standard for serious AI builders.

Our thesis

Builders drive the agentic economy.

AI capability is moving faster than practical adoption. AI Tinkerers connects builders turning that capability into working systems and sharing what they learn.

When builders share a breakthrough, that influence spreads again. AI Tinkerers connects them through local rooms and a global network, helping good ideas become working practices others can build on.

Read our thesis
  1. 01 Builder’s choices Models, tools, infrastructure
  2. 02 Agents & deployments Choices become working systems
  3. 03 Shared breakthroughs Code, demos, practical lessons
  4. 04 More systems Ideas travel further
Every discovery can change what others build next.
