Living Brain by ChatChat x OpenAI
Wednesday, 10 June · Singapore
An invitation-only evening by ChatAndBuild, the creator of ChatChat, supported by OpenAI.
We are entering a world where intelligence is becoming abundant. The next frontier is living agents: AI systems that can remember, reason, create, connect to tools, and help people turn ideas into action.
Join ChatAndBuild, OpenAI, and a curated room of founders, builders, creators, athletes, technologists, and leaders for the Singapore launch of ChatChat and the Living Brain.
The night will feature the launch story from ChatAndBuild and OpenAI, extraordinary stories of endurance and survival, a perspective from TikTok on AI and creation, and a live ChatChat experience showing how living agents can extend what people are capable of.
This is a first look at the shift from reactive AI to living systems, and a room for people shaping what comes next.
Registration is open, with approval required due to limited capacity and to ensure a thoughtful mix of guests.
