About this Event

Pittsburgh's Most Inclusive AI Community

Every month, we bring together the full spectrum of AI builders, from first-time prompt writers to enterprise architects. This isn't just another tech meetup. It's where diverse experience levels come together, share real solutions, and tackle practical challenges collaboratively.

Our mission: Bridge the gap between AI experts and everyday users through hands-on learning and genuine community.


What Makes Us Different

We focus on implementation, not inspiration.

  • Real business problems, not hypothetical scenarios
  • Working solutions, not theoretical possibilities
  • Practitioners sharing what actually works in production
  • Problem-solvers connecting with those who have problems to solve

Perfect match if you're: Building AI solutions professionally, facing specific implementation challenges, or have expertise to contribute to real-world problems
