The AI Implementation Club
About this event
A silent two-hour build sprint for founders and operators who want to stop reading about AI and actually ship something, closing with an informal show-and-tell on the big screen at Antler VC.
Stop consuming, start building
The AI Implementation Club is an in-person coworking session with an unusually strict format and a clear premise: most people have bookmarked the tools, saved the articles, and watched the tutorials without ever implementing anything. There is no teaching, no slide deck, no panel, and no theory — just people building next to each other.
How the session runs
- Arrive with one AI thing you want to implement — in your company, a side project, or an idea you have been circling
- A silent two-hour build sprint (the organizers enforce it with a buzzer)
- 3:15–4:00 p.m. — a show-and-tell on the big screen: demo what you made, or ask the room for feedback
All experience levels are welcome, and you can leave at any point. The club is run by Chrissy McDannell, principal of The Magnolia Firm.
