Free · Every week · Anyone can walk in
Bring something broken.
Leave with it working.
Every week we run a Build Night — a small room of people using AI on real work. No speaker, no slides, no curriculum, and nobody at the front of the room. Two hours. Come out and build with us.
- Tuesdays
- 6:30–8:30pm
- Saturdays
- 1:00–3:00pm
- Sundays
- 1:00–3:00pm
Minneapolis, in the back corner of a taproom. First night is Tuesday, August 25 at 6:30pm. Same times every week after that.
Before you ask
Nobody sells in this room.
Not attendees to each other. Not us — and we're the ones paying for the food. The organizer says it out loud in the first two minutes of every night, and names himself while he's doing it.
The second this becomes a place people come to get pitched, it stops being a place people come to at all. That's why the rule has no exceptions.
It's not a class. It's a room.
The format
You work in a small group, on purpose.
- 01
Find a room
Rooms meet weekly. Walk in, open a laptop, start working. You don't have to have been to the last one.
- 02
Bring what you're stuck on
Your own project, your business, or nothing at all. There's always something to build.
- 03
Start one where you are
No room near you? We hand you the whole thing and pay for it. You bring the people.
Who's in the room
Nobody here has twenty years of experience.
The tools didn't exist. Anyone claiming to be an expert is guessing with more confidence than you. That's exactly why a room of people figuring it out together beats a person at the front with slides.
You've never touched it
Come anyway. Somebody two chairs down was here for the first time three weeks ago. You can sit down, be quiet, be confused, and nobody will notice.
You use it every day
Then you're who we most want in the room. Bring the thing that's still hard.
Every night
Everybody leaves with something.
- —
A go bag, every night
Notepad, pen, and something you'll actually use. Yours whether it's your first night or your thirtieth.
- —
A raffle at every Build Night
One drawing, every room, every week. You're entered by being there.
- —
Food, covered
The room costs you nothing to walk into. Drinks are yours — we meet in places that sell them, and we're not buying your night out.
- —
Nobody takes your money
No ticket, no membership, no upsell at the end. It's free because a company pays for it, and we tell you which one.
Straight answers
Questions people actually ask
Am I going to get sold something?
No. That's the one rule in the room and it applies to the sponsor too. There's a card in your go bag — that's the extent of it.
Do I need to know anything about AI?
No. Some people in the room started last month. Nobody has been doing this twenty years — the tools didn't exist.
Is it really free?
Yes. No ticket, no membership, no upsell. A company sponsors it and we tell you which one. Food is covered. If you want a beer, that part's on you.
Do I need a laptop?
Bring one if you have one. If you don't, come anyway — there are usually spares, and watching somebody build for two hours beats reading about it for ten.
What if I don't have anything to work on?
Come anyway. There's always something being built, and the fastest way in is sitting next to somebody doing it.
Can I bring someone?
Please do. That's how most rooms fill.

No room in your city yet?
Tell us where you are.
How every night ends
Whatever you built gets written down.
Working or not, finished or not. Somebody says what they got done, and that's it — no presentations, no going around the room performing. It's also how we know which rooms are healthy and which ones need help.
