​Bring your laptop, ideas, demos, or side projects and come co-work with other AI enthusiasts/builders 😊

​2) 🤝 Then we’ll move into open co-working, discussions, networking, and idea sharing.

​3) 🔥 At the end, anyone who wants can give a short informal demo/showcase of what they worked on during the meetup (optional, no pressure!).

​A casual and supportive environment to connect, build, and share ideas around AI 🚀
