A local community for people building things with AI, together.

2nd Saturday of each month. 10:00 to 12:00. Bru, Granby Street, Leicester.

This is a group for anyone using AI tools to build apps, websites, automations, workflows, or whatever's rattling around in your head. Whether you're a total beginner who's just discovered you can make real software by chatting with AI, or you've been shipping side projects and want some people to nerd out with, you'll fit right in.

What to expect

Open to all. We support each other, stay open-minded, and learn together. You don't need a background in tech. Some of the best AI builders right now are people who know a real problem from the inside: from sales, marketing, HR, teaching, design, healthcare, and everywhere in between. If you've got a problem worth solving and the curiosity to try, you're exactly who this is for.

Building together. Bring a laptop, bring an idea, or just bring yourself. We’ll work in small groups and mix show and tell, honest feedback and hands on build sessions with casual conversations.

Sharing knowledge. What's working, what's not, which tools are worth the hype, and how to go from a cool demo to something with real value.

Bru are kindly offering us the space for free, so if you can, a £5 minimum spend at the bar is appreciated (it’s great coffee anyway, so it’s worth it).

If your plans change, please update your RSVP to give someone else a chance to attend.

If you have any questions ahead of the event, feel free to reach out.

See you there, Ashley
