Rough Cuts: AI Demos
Rough Cuts: AI Demos is a hands-on demo night focused on showing real AI projects in progress not polished pitches or investor decks.
This event features a curated selection of builders walking us through how their systems actually work: the architecture, the tools, the decisions, the tradeoffs, and what they’re still figuring out. The emphasis is on transparency, experimentation, and creative problem-solving.
Expect practical walkthroughs of interesting AI builds — from simple but clever solutions to more complex systems — followed by open Q&A and discussion.
Applications are open!
Come show off what you're hacking together on the weekends. No pitches, just IRL live demos of creative and clever AI projects. If you’re building something interesting and would like to demo it, submit a short walkthrough video here
