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.
