Bay Area AI Builders Happy Hour
This is an invite-only happy hour for Bay Area builders working on real AI systems—whether that’s agentic AI (tool use, workflows, copilots), embodied/robotics, or the infrastructure and evaluation layers that make these systems reliable in the wild. The goal is simple: a high-signal room and real conversations with people who are actually building.
No panels. No sales pitches. No recruiting. Just networking + a lightweight structured “problem swap” so it’s worth your time.
Who it’s for:
• Hands-on engineers, applied scientists, and technical leaders (IC–Director) working in:
• Agentic AI: tool use, orchestration, workflow automation, RAG, reliability
• Embodied/robotics: perception, planning, control, sim-to-real
• Data: collection, labeling/QA, synthetic data, telemetry
• Evaluation & safety: benchmarking, guardrails, testing, monitoring, regression prevention
• Deployment: MLOps for AI systems, production reliability, cost/performance
What to expect:
You’ll meet a curated group of peers across the Bay Area. We’ll keep the format lightweight but structured so conversations start fast and stay technical.
Agenda
6:00–6:20pm — Arrival + drinks

6:30–7:10pm — Guided roundtables: “What’s hardest right now?” (Agents Data / Simulation Evaluation)
7:10–7:25pm — Optional 60-second intros (name, what you’re building, one challenge)
7:25–8:00pm — Open networking
Notes
• RSVP required (we’re keeping it ~50 people to keep conversations high-signal).
