​🌊 San Diego AI Studio Sharathon

​May 16 · Ocean Beach · 10am to 2pm · Free

​RSVP required to lock your spot.

​

​Come hang with like-minded people and see how everyone's building.

​

​I just got back from the AI Dev SF conference. 3,000+ people, two days of sessions on agents, voice AI, dev tools, and more. I'm stoked to try and funnel some of that firehose of awesomeness here. One of the coolest dudes I met there is from SD too, and he's coming to help spread the inference.

​

​This is for anyone trying to figure out AI or already stoked on it.

• ​🛠 People building with AI tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, agents)

• ​💬 Users of ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini, want to go deeper

• ​🐣 Those brand-new to AI, just curious

• ​🧠 Senior devs exploring or shipping AI

• ​🚀 Founders building a product

• ​🎨 Designers or creatives working AI into their flow

• ​🤖 Hardware or robotics folks

• ​🤝 Peeps looking for collaborators or co-founders

• ​🎯 Folks looking to hire or contract someone

• ​💼 Folks looking for work or employment

• ​💸 Investor, scout, or angel

• ​🌊 Nerds just trying to hang and meet people

​

​☕ The format

​Casual meetup, laptops out, at The Template. A super rad 4.8 star coffee shop in OB, two blocks from the beach.

​I'll try to greet everyone when you walk in, but if I miss you, come find me. Lucas, big friendly dude, dark beard & short curly hair. Especially come say hi if you'd like a quick interview so I can bucket interests and make sure you get what you need. This event is a human-in-the-loop recursive agent.

​If you're just trying to hang, come say what's up or be a fly on the wall. Absolutely no presh.

​

​What we'll help with

• ​🎓 Need Claude Code basics, or want to set up OpenClaw? We'll get you started.

• ​💸 Founder looking for funding? We'll point you to who's trying to know you.

• ​🤝 Hunting partnerships? We'll get you not just in the same space, but collaborating on something fun.

• ​💼 Looking for work or wanting to hire? We'll connect you to the right people in the room.

​

​My friends and I will be floating around to see who wants to team up on some canned projects.

​Example: I went to AI On the Lot, the Gen AI video conference, where we worked on mock previews for pretend movies. We made Zombie Cats. Silly. Also freaking awesome.

​Come see what else we have lined up, or suggest your own. We'll have Claude Code learning-oriented projects, and y'all can pitch ideas too.

​

​🧱 The flow

​A few builders share what they shipped this week. 5 minutes each.

​Then a friend and I will build something live so you can see how we build, if interested.

​Then everyone opens laptops, pairs/teams up, and builds a thing. My friends and I float around helping.

​End with a quick show and tell.

​Coffee, pastries, and sandwiches at the counter for purchase. Please support our epic venue.

​

​📅 Schedule

• ​10:00 — Doors, coffee, chat

• ​10:30 — AI Dev SF recap and questions (out on the patio)

• ​11:00 — Build together

• ​1:00 — Show and tell

• ​1:30 — Chill, more coffee

• ​2:00 — Wrap

​

​🎙 Build in public

​We record and YouTube stream the whole thing. Raw recordings get uploaded, unedited. You can have everything.

​Use it to:

• ​Spin up your own meetup

• ​Build your own YouTube

• ​Feed it to your agents

• ​Make a K-pop music video

​You can opt out at the door if you'd rather not be on camera. The more high signal information you have, the tighter your loop gets. We'll use it to mold and market the next events.

​

​✨ Takeaways

• ​🌱 Never built with AI? You'll have something running before you leave.

• ​🚢 Already shipping? You'll meet like-minded or farther along folks to learn from, and people you can influence and help.

• ​🤝 Looking for partnerships or work? We'll get you closer to your people.

• ​🔥 Just trying to build cool shit and share ideas? This is the main reason for the event. You will find your crew here.

• ​📚 I'm going to data dump a list of resources I use to stay up to date in the matrix.

​

​⏳ Capped at 50 in the room

​Free, but RSVP locks your spot. I'll try to open more if the waitlist fills, but it's contingent on hiring more staff. Get in quick.

​

​If you're already shipping, come find your people.

​If you've never built anything with AI before, come hang. This is how it starts.

​

​See you May 16. 🌊
