Curated. Technical. No fluff.

The global community for hands‑on AI builders.

Curated rooms for people shipping with foundation models. Bring working code, share what broke, and leave with sharper judgment, trusted peers, and momentum for what you build next.

Upcoming Events

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.

Standard

Working code beats hype.

Demos, traces, systems, and scars carry more weight than predictions.

Belief

Practitioners, not spectators.

The future of AI is built by people close enough to the work to show it.

Room Rule

Demos over decks.

If it matters, bring the thing and show how it behaves.

Like the Homebrew Computer Club, AI Tinkerers is built around small rooms where practitioners compare notes before the path is obvious.

Thank you for organizing the event. It is a wonderful space to meet others that are also passionate about building things.

It was my first event. The community was welcoming and great! Appreciated the demos and examples with practical applications.

This was my first time attending the event, and getting to present was so much fun! Looking forward to attending more!
