East Bay Tech #4: Practical AI for Founders, Developers & Operators

​East Bay Tech is a curated meetup for founders, developers, and operators working with practical AI, emerging technology, and new business opportunities in the East Bay.

​For May, we’re moving to a new location: The Office in Lafayette.

​Meetup page: https://ebt.fyi

​This event is for people building companies, shipping products, improving operations, or figuring out how new tools can create real value in industries like healthcare, legal, real estate, and more.

​We’ll start with casual mingling, then move into two short Workflow Showcases, followed by a Socratic discussion about what’s changed in AI over the past month: new tools, models, workflows, risks, failures, and practical lessons.

​Each Workflow Showcase is 5 minutes of demo and 5 minutes of questions. A guest will walk through one real AI workflow they use and show others how to adapt it.

​Want to demo a workflow? Submit it when you register.

​This is a practical room for real conversations, real use cases, and strong local connections. No pitching, no hype cycle theater.
