AI Study Group

We started this because we wanted a place to try things hands-on.

Not listen to talks about AI. Not network. Not sit through another debate on how AI is going to change the world or take away jobs.

We just wanted a quiet room, a laptop, and a couple of hours to try something and see what happens. We couldn't find that place.So we made one.

Every Saturday, we book a corner of a cafe in Pune.

People started showing up. Some are here for the first time. Some have been coming for months.

Nobody introduces themselves. Nobody asks what anyone does for a living. They just open their laptops and start.

No agenda. No slides. No experts.

Some weeks we explore a tool none of us have tried. Some weeks it's a domain: marketing, mental health, finance. Some weeks it's creative: art, music, games with kids.

Everyone's learning, nobody's teaching. Just a room full of people trying things, side by side. If someone gets stuck, we figure it out together.

We've done this 39 times now. Hundreds of experiments. Most of them rough, unfinished, or pointless. A few turned into something real.

But here's the thing we didn't expect.

Every time we pick a new domain, we start scared. No idea about the field. But after five or six prototypes, something clicks. Not expertise. Something better. The feeling that you can walk into anything unfamiliar and figure it out by trying on your own.

We thought we'd be the only ones hooked. But people started coming back. Week after week. And somewhere along the way, they stopped coming to try AI and started coming to build things they need.

• The TeacherBuilt a tool to explain the concept she'd been struggling to teach.
• The PsychologistCreated an interactive journal her patients could use between sessions.
• The FounderTested twenty ideas in a week instead of spending months on the wrong one.

Come try a Weekend.

Here's what this isn't. It's not a course. There's no certificate. No one tells you what to build or how.

Things break. Ideas fail. Your first attempt will be bad. So will your second. That's the point. Every failed experiment teaches you something a tutorial never could.

If you learn by doing. If you'd rather try something for two hours than hear about it. If you're okay being bad at something new.You'll feel at home.
