BRAIN - AI Applications and Tooling Meetup
About this event
Come share and learn how people are actually using AI in their day-to-day work - whether that's coding, engineering, creative projects, or solving business problems.
We'll skip the "what is AI" basics and focus on practical stuff: real workflows, useful tools, and honest experiences. You don't need to be an AI expert - just curious about doing more than asking ChatGPT questions.
What to expect:
-
Dr Rob Layton will share how he uses claude code for software development - including what's been great, what's been frustrating, and tips he's picked up
-
Open discussion about different AI tools and approaches
-
Chance to share your own experiments or ask specific questions
-
