Opening talk
A successful founder or builder tells their real story: the loops, the wrong turns, and the leverage that finally worked.
The AI Fellowship · Bay Area
Build with AI.
In good company.
A friendly, close-knit community of people building with AI across the San Francisco Bay Area. Agents, workflows, automations, whatever you're making, you'll find people here who get it. Part of a global movement of 3,000+ builders in 80+ countries.

Where we gather
Who this is for
You'll fit right in if...
- You're building something with AI, however early or scrappy
- You'd rather trade real feedback than collect business cards
- You show up curious, with ego left at the door
- You like helping others get unstuck as much as getting unstuck yourself
New to building with AI? Come anyway. Curiosity counts more than a resume.
The format
A curated evening in three parts.
New faces are always welcome. The evening is relaxed, generous, and structured so everyone leaves with something.
◆02
Focus-group demo
One member mid-build presents their work. The room gives honest, structured feedback, the kind you can't get in a comment thread.
◆03
Hands-on build
We pick one pre-submitted problem and solve it together: patterns, prompts, evals, and agents. Networking happens throughout.
◈
Bring yours Submit a problem
Every attendee pre-submits a challenge they're stuck on. One is chosen for the group build. A 2 to 3 highlight recap is shared after each event.
First gathering
Our first Bay Area evening is Friday, September 4, 2026.
Small, intentional, and built around the people in the room. Newcomers are welcome; come see if this is your kind of place.

Our soul
Four agreements we live by.
Borrowed from the global fellowship, carried into every Bay Area evening.
01◇
Connect
We invest in people, not profiles. Curiosity about each other before credentials.
02◇
Champion
Ethical, humane, responsible AI. We push each other to build for people, not around them.
03◇
Co-Create
Smarter together. Build in the open, share what works, and take inspiration.
04◇
Curiosity
No gatekeeping. Beginners and veterans in the same room, celebrating what we're learning.
