About the Event
AI is changing the way we study, work, build, and collaborate.
Hello Buddy @ Columbia brings together students, researchers, builders, founders, and AI enthusiasts for a community meetup exploring how AI is becoming part of our everyday workflows — and what new ways of learning, working, and building are emerging along the way.
We’ll be joined by the WorkBuddy team to share perspectives on the evolving AI landscape, demonstrate real-world use cases, and explore how AI tools can help turn ideas into practical workflows.
But Hello Buddy is more than a product talk.
It’s a space to meet people who are actively exploring AI, exchange ideas and use cases, try new tools together, and discover how others are incorporating AI into the way they learn, create, and build.
