Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free Wednesday meetup where AI builders work on a project, take part in a live sprint, and share what they’ve made.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-11 issue.

For: AI builders ready to ship and show work
Worth noticing: Participants bring a live artifact and one piece of work to advance; prompt generators and empty AI landing pages don't count.

Field notes

The session is divided into short segments: a weekly topic and AI news, a live sprint, show-and-tell, Q&A, and a take-home opportunity. Participants are expected to bring a link to work already live, such as a deployed app, repository, client project, or store listing. The page says sprints are not recorded and asks before sharing anyone’s camera, voice, or screen.
