Sun Aug 9 · 1:00 PM PT — A hands-on expedition through the AI jungle
About this Event
A hands-on expedition through the AI jungle. Not a conference of slides — a day of doing. You move station to station, get your hands on the tools everyone's talking about, and walk out having actually built something real.
After two sold-out IRL bootcamps this spring, the Grateful Giraffes are gathering 1,000+ builders at Primal Moves in Venice for our first AI Safari. AI is the head in the clouds; being here in person, heart to heart, is the feet on the ground. That's the Giraffe energy we're bringing to August 9th.
THE FLOW OF THE DAY — Sunday, Aug 9, 1–8pm
1:00 · Doors & Welcome. Coffee, mingling, and your first look at the stations. Grab your AI Safari Passport at the door — get it stamped at every station, and a full passport enters you in the raffle.
2:00 · Partner Stretching with Gus. Get your body and brain charged up together before the building begins.
2:30 · The Human Edge. Dom Coryell, Benza Maman & Steve Celi on what stays yours when AI can do almost everything else — a grounded start before the room goes hands-on.
3:00 · Explore the Safari. Two and a half hours, hands-on across all five build stations. Keep an eye on the live builder leaderboard — fastest working agent and best vibe-coded app both get called out at the close.
5:30 · AI Panel. Julian Melcer interviews Benza, Dom, and Max on where this is actually going. No hype — the real conversation.
6:00 · Continue to Roam. Back to the stations. The fireside doesn't end, it turns into a set.
THE A(I) TEAM
Benza Maman — #1 AI Instructor on Udemy, 500,000+ students. Leads the Claude-powered agent-building stations. Has built AI literacy programs for Samsung, Apple, Pepsi and Nike.
Dom Coryell — Head of AI Growth at Shopify. Shows you how to describe an app out loud and watch it ship — no code required.
Max Marine — CEO & co-founder of Grateful Labs, your host. 7-year VC and CFA turned community builder; architected The Oasis and Gigi from scratch.
Julian Melcer — co-founder of Grateful Labs. Curates the day and hosts the closing panel.
Marco Hansell — runs the AI Life Alignment station: build your own AI system to get your goals, habits and life into sync.
Steve Celi — turns AI video tools into real content, live — prompt to finished clip.
FIVE ZONES, ONE SAFARI
Basecamp — grab your passport and the rundown, and hit the cafe.
Zen Zone — a silent space to ground, breathe and reset.
Oasis — water, drinks, food and recovery.
Canopy — classrooms for hands-on learning.
Savanna — where the work happens. Five live build stations:
• Build an Agent — ship a working AI agent before you leave the booth
• Vibe Code — describe an app out loud, watch it get built in front of you
• AI Video Generation — generate a film clip live, with the tools studios are scrambling to learn
• AI Life Alignment (with Marco) — build your own system for your goals and habits
• AI for Somatic Inquiry (with Gigi) — a guided voice-AI check-in with the body, not just the mind
ONE TICKET, A CONSULTANT'S WORTH OF VALUE
A full day of hands-on AI training across five stations, a working AI agent you keep, live AI video + image studio time, a vibe-coded app built in front of you, a no-code automation set up for your workflow, time with Gigi our voice AI, The Human Edge talk, a room full of LA builders and founders, and a take-home prompts + tools kit. Over $2,700 of value in a single day.
Come build in the wild. 🦒
Heads in the clouds. Feet on the ground. Big hearts.
