Raelan · founderread fullcollapse ▸
My name is Raelan and I am an entrepreneur, I am the founder of a small company and I could not possibly be happier that I joined the AI Implementation Club. I didn't realize that I'd had this AI anxiety hanging over me for months, where every week I knew that I could be doing more, I wanted to be doing more with AI, but I didn't have that dedicated time to just build and implement. It just kept getting put off and put off. So having that space every week to show up and just actually put these things into place has been wonderful. And you get to be around incredible people at all skill levels. So I'm at more of the beginner level and I didn't feel intimidated, everyone was very welcoming and helpful. So you get to see a little bit of what is possible with AI, because it's changing so fast that I don't always even know what I should be building and using for my business. And it's just a great opportunity to hang out with wonderful people and meet and connect and network and learn from one another. Overall a fantastic experience, I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested at any level of implementing and building more AI systems into the work they do.
"It's just given me so much time and life back, and I feel really empowered. I feel like someone who's not technical like me, if I can do it, anyone can do it."
Anna · psychotherapist, UKread fullcollapse ▸
Hi, I'm Anna. I'm over in Austin for the month of May, and I'm building a pet care community in the UK which is running really well, looking to replicate it here. I'm not from a technical background at all, I'm a psychotherapist. So this event and all the similar ones that I've been to have just been amazing. I finally feel like I can use AI, and actually not just basic. I thought I'd just be using it on a really basic level, but I've been able to do some really cool stuff with it. And it's just given me so much time and life back, and I feel really empowered. I feel like someone who's not technical like me, if I can do it, anyone can do it. So I'm just really grateful for the community. Everyone's been so nice, so friendly, and I'm excited to do some more.
"It was freaking amazing. I actually implemented and created accounts for GitHub and a few other things I'd been wanting to do but didn't know how."
Amandaread fullcollapse ▸
Hey guys, I'm Amanda and I joined the AI Implementation Masterclass today, and it was freaking amazing. It's such a change to be in a room with other people who are all doing big things in AI. A couple of the takeaways I got today: I actually implemented and created accounts for GitHub and a few other things that I've been wanting to do, but I just didn't really know exactly how to do it. And watching a YouTube video and then doing it, that's how I normally do stuff. But it was really cool to be in a room with other people, and then also having people right beside you like, "hey, how do you do this, how do you do that," and seeing how they use all of the different AI tools and files and building skill sets. So when you're in a room like this it really helps. So I will be back. This has been awesome. Chrissy is an amazing host. This was a fantastic venue, and I'll be back for more.
"I had paid for Claude. I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but no place to actually find the time. It did not disappoint."
Mitchell · came back every weekread fullcollapse ▸
What I liked about last Sunday, why I came, is I just loved the concept. The concept of just having a space where you get to work on everything. Because I was thinking about implementing my agent a lot, but I hadn't started. I had paid for Claude. I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but no place to actually find the time. I really enjoyed the time we had together and the show-and-tell at the end, because everyone had a bunch of ideas that I didn't even think about. Everyone was very helpful and very open. Nobody judged me based on "you don't know anything." And I have to say, it did not disappoint. We haven't even done the second session yet, but I've already got way more than I expected. If I could come next Sunday, I would be here every week. This is like every Sunday for me.
"This is my second session, and this session was mind-blowing. It's the appetizer to the entree. So now I get to eat the entree."
Evan · owner, Profit Financialread fullcollapse ▸
I'm the owner of Profit Financial. This is my second session, and this session was mind-blowing. The experts that were here opened up so many elements of AI that I wasn't aware of. And if anything, it's the appetizer to the entree. So now I get to eat the entree. I feel like I'm probably just past beginner, somewhere between beginner and intermediate.
"What I really love is a dedicated space and a dedicated time. You know you're going to get something done. The vibe in the room is super positive."
Lexi · near-every-week regularread fullcollapse ▸
What I really love is a dedicated space and a dedicated time to work on projects. It's a chunk of time where you know you're going to get something done. The vibe in the room is really great, super positive. There's folks at all levels of AI, which I love, because you can always learn from somebody. It's fantastic. I love it. Thank you, Chrissy.
"I reserve Sunday afternoons to be at the club. It's given me a space to try some things out and get some things done."
Jonathan Malkin · 25+ years in softwareread fullcollapse ▸
Name's Jonathan Malkin, buildwithjon.com. I help businesses automate the things that frustrate them the most. I've been coming to the club for a couple of months now, and it's a great place. I reserve Sunday afternoons to be at the club. I've seen folks produce a lot of great things, and it's given me a space to try some things out and get some things done. I've been in tech for over 25 years, my background is software development. And the club has a very wide mix of people, from folks who've never used much tech and are just starting with the basics, to folks like me who are actually building out technical products.
"It was my first experience and it was a wonderful one. We all got some time to share ideas at the end. A very collaborative experience."
Shish · first Sundayread fullcollapse ▸
This is Shish and I'm here to leave a quick review for Chrissy and want to thank her for hosting the AI Implementation Club this last Sunday at the Antler VC venue. It was my first experience going for this event and it was a wonderful one, and I was glad I was there around like-minded people who were in the journey of using AI towards their use case, people who are learning to find ways to adapt it to their use case. We all got some time to share ideas in the end, which is nice, to get feedback from people who are sort of advanced in the area or have thought of it differently. So that was a very collaborative experience. So thank you Chrissy for hosting it and taking the time. I really appreciate you for that.

Hello, my name is Sandra. I'm from Ecuador. Today was amazing. The people, the speakers... we got to use AI for real tools and real life, and it's important that everybody knows about this new technology. Thank you so much, because it was an environment full of collaboration and real tools that you can actually use. Please, come and try these kinds of workshops.
"It was good to see other people building similar stuff and the tricks and hacks they have, because there's no recipe for it."
Magio · already buildingread fullcollapse ▸
I'm Magio. I already have stuff running, but it was good to see other people building similar things, and the tricks and hacks they have, because there's really no recipe for it. There's a lot out there, but it's cool to have real examples from other people working on this. That was the best part for me, getting to connect with other people.
"He really shared so much knowledge with us around skills, plugins, MCPs, gave us a few tricks of the trade."

This has been fantastic. Caleb was an amazing instructor. He really shared so much knowledge with us around skills, plugins, MCPs, gave us a few tricks of the trade. I'm really excited about the second portion of this session, really going over Obsidian. And thank you so much, Chrissy, for letting him lead it.
"I was kind of forced to actually produce something useful. Super hands-on. I feel super energized."
Anthonyread fullcollapse ▸
Hi there, my name is Anthony and I was here for the AI Implementation Club. I had a ton of fun and more than anything else, I was kind of forced to actually produce something that's useful to me. I was really hands-on, I feel super energized, I'm really excited about doing more stuff, and I made a few connections and got some really good advice from people. So highly recommend it.
"Three hours just to get things done that have been on your plate forever. A really cool group all looking to get stuff done."
Kyle · first timerread fullcollapse ▸
Hi, my name is Kyle. This is my first time at the AI Implementation Club, but I really enjoyed it. It was a time to just disconnect from everything. You get three hours just to get things done that have been on your plate forever. It was a really interesting crowd, a good mix of people, all different skill and experience levels, all different walks of life. So it was just really cool to be among a group of people all looking to get stuff done.
"I learned a lot about what other people think and how they think. Really thankful for this space Chrissy created."
Harrisonread fullcollapse ▸
Hi, I'm Harrison. I am here at AI Club in Antler, which is beautiful. It's so nice that they opened this space up to us. Today I worked on a project for early stage learning and I learned a lot here about what other people think, how they think, and I'm just really thankful for this opportunity that Chrissy has allowed for us to have here. Yeah, I enjoy it and I love Austin.
"Just got off the plane from Canada. So cool to see what everyone's working on, blockchain, kids' learning tools, really wide and diverse."
