Weekly Show & Tell @TheMalaysian.ai Residency
Every Thursday, a group of builders, creators and AI enthusiasts gather at 500 Global's office (in AICB) and have a Show & Tell session.
At 5pm, everyone takes turns doing a quick sharing. We'll share what we learned from the week, features we shipped, ideas we explored, AI use cases we discovered, research we came across. And learn from other people in the room. It's a 4 mins sharing and a 2 mins Q&A / feedback sesh.
Note: This is not a pitch, it’s a session with other builders to share what you’re learning to help the community, and for you to learn and get feedback.
Earlier that day from 12pm to 5pm, we'll co-work on our own projects and startups - in a community where everyone is building. You're surrounded by the highest concentration of AI builders in Malaysia, where you'll be working alongside people like you.
About the Malaysian AI Residency
This weekly gathering is part of the Malaysian AI Residency - a 3-month intensive program where teams build out their AI startup ideas full-time at the office. We're creating the highest concentration of AI builders in Malaysia, and these Thursdays are your chance to plug directly into that energy.
Every Thursday, we open 10 seats for people who are building things in AI and want a space to focus. Think of it like your usual workday, but with great company. We keep it small on purpose so it stays meaningful.
If this feels like your kind of Thursday, do sign up & share this luma with a friend too!

FAQ's
Can I get everyone to sign an NDA? We're an open, collaborative community of builders, so NDAs aren't really our thing here. It's all about sharing progress, trading ideas, and getting feedback. If you're working on something sensitive, just share the high-level concepts and keep the proprietary details to yourself.
What if I don’t want to present during Show and Tell? We'd strongly encourage you to. Presenting is genuinely one of the best ways to get unstuck, get feedback, and stay accountable to what you're building. You don't need a polished demo—just share where you're at. That said, if you're really not ready, you're welcome to observe for the session.
Will people judge what I'm working on? Not at all. Everyone here is in the middle of building something—messy, incomplete, or otherwise. Whether you're sharing early progress or a half-finished idea, the room is here to learn alongside you and give useful feedback, not to critique.
Do I need to be a developer to join? No. Whether you're an engineer, a designer, or a founder building with no-code tools, you're welcome here. The common thread is that you're actively building and exploring what's possible with AI.
What should I bring? Your laptop, your charger, and whatever you're currently working on. Bring your running shoes & change of clothes too if you're joining the 7 PM Run Club after. (Register for the Luma separately)
Are there lunch options in the area? You can bring your own lunch and have it at the office. Around the area there's a few places you can go like Thyme Out, the Bank Negara food court, or a FamilyMart vending machine if you're really locking in.
What if I want to join the Residency full-time? Apply at malaysian.ai/residency. We're looking for ambitious builders to be a part of the community.
Is there a fee to attend? Nope, it's totally free. We just ask that you only RSVP if you can make it, since we strictly cap it at 10 seats to keep the sessions tight and meaningful. If you can’t make it for whatever reason, do mark yourself as not being able to attend so we can open up the slot to someone else on the waitlist.
See you there!
