AI technology like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude, Midjourney and many others will play an increasingly large role in our day-to-day lives. To this end, New York AI Users will host our monthly tech talks & social gathering at Viam's office in Midtown. Viam is an engineering platform for data, AI, and. automation. They will graciously provide free drinks and food for the event. The space and accommodations will be perfect for our talks and the social that follows.

From the creators and organizers of ®, New York AI Users organizes high-quality AI events that both educate and connect AI enthusiasts in the New York area who use or want to use AI to meet their creative, entrepreneurial, and technical aspirations. No technical background is required, only an interest in learning about these tools of the future. Founders, engineers, and creatives are all welcome!

For our February meeting, we will gather at Viam and we will host:

• Talks on AI:
• For our first talk, we will hear from Gabriel Muller. Gabriel will talk about The Content Curve, a strategic framework for content creation in the age of AI. We'll learn how to maximize impact by focusing human creativity at the edges of the content lifecycle while leveraging AI and LLMs. This talk is ideal for developers, content creators, product managers—and anyone else interested in maximizing the potential of AI tools while maintaining authentic, high-quality output. Gabriel is a writer and communications strategist who's built a career providing narrative coaching, ghostwriting, and custom content creation for leaders in various sectors, including Fortune 100 companies, nonprofits, and global consultancies. As a creative director at The Atlantic's creative agency, he skillfully employed long-form journalism, podcasts, and video to engage audiences. Today, he runs his own storytelling consultancy that marries his traditional journalistic training with cutting-edge AI technologies. He has written for and advised storytellers at McKinsey, The Financial Times, Salesforce, and Google.
• For our second talk, we will hear from Jack Damon. Jack will touch on creating and using large visual language models to tailor a specialized, smaller vision model for use in business. Jack is currently a product manager for data and machine learning at Viam. Previously, Jack founded a YC backed consumer software startup and studied computer science at Columbia.
• After the talks, there will be social time with the attendees and the speakers for the remainder of the evening, with free drinks and food

We’re excited to see you soon!
