About us
For builders,
by builders
Pittsburgh is known for world-class AI talent in labs, robotics, and deep tech. We believe ANYONE willing to roll up their sleeves can use AI to solve real-world problems.
With AI models and tools evolving at a breakneck pace, this community is where builders swap stories, share battle scars, and trade tips for what’s working in AI and, almost as importantly, what is not.
Events
Rad, impactful meetups
Once every two months the community gets together at the Tech Forge in Lawrenceville. Here's what to expect at each:
First and foremost, demos. Lots of demos.
Interactive, roundtable discussions on AI news
An implied “frieNDA” policy
